    I’m not the same guy you’re responding to.

    • Russian language sounds awesome
    • Many talented Counter Strike players from Russia that I need to communicate with in games
    • Russian language lands in the top 10 of most spoken languages

    Point #3 is not the strongest but it is the reason why I have an interest in learning Mandarin (although I have NEVER started the process)

        There’s a figurative billion of Ukrainian war refugees in Europe now, and almost all of them speak Russian as a first or second language
