Question form Russia

[nordprod.livejournal.com]

Господа иностранцы!
Интересно, чем вас привлекает русский язык, русская культура? Как вы пришли к изучению russian language? Полезно ли на Западе знать русский язык?
Буду благодарен, если ответите по-русски, хоть и транслитом. Заранее thank you.

>Не знаю, можно ли здесь разговаривать по-русски без перевода

This isn't the case when "you may" do something or "you may not." When we (the maintainers) say that one is expected to provide an English translation, it's only because this is simply polite. Not all members are THAT fluent in Russian. As for me, I am pretty sure that one can master a language only by diving pretty deep into it, but the majority here thinks that only asking the others for translation every now&zen helps mightily. This is what we call democracy, isn't it? ;-))))
