I've been studing Russian for a little over two weeks now. After studing French and Spanish, it's much easier than what I first believed it would be. I hope to learn more from this community than what I would normally learn from my tutor.

Is anyone who lives in America, willing to write/talk/meet to learn and help develop Russian-speaking skills? I know of a few Russians around here (Easton, Maryland), but they are usually too drunk to really comprehend.

There's nothing wrong with that :) I personally gave up drinking years ago.
There's an old Russian joke on this subject:

- Девушка, почему вы не пьёте и не курите?
- Потому что я не могу больше!!!

Can you figure out what this means or I shall provide a translation as it's required by the community rules? ;-)))

Hey thanks for that! I'll use that next time I'm being plied with vodka! That's one thing about Russians, they are so generous and I've never learned how to politely decline.
