Don't mind at all. So do you speak either Russian or Hebrew?

floatingfire May 31 2005, 20:02:46 UTC

I speak Russian, and I used to know Hebrew but forgot cuz I didn't speak it with anyone, so now I'm relearning it. I did know some though.

It's great that you kept the Russian. Do you read and write as well as speak it?
