People are eager to learn! (I'm one of them.) It's just that Russians seem to like to help us out. There are a lot of students of Russian here. =)

I enjoy all the Russians here :-)
Kas te räägite eesti keelt?
Okay, I don't really speak Estonian...

[elmyr.livejournal.com]

jah, räägin natuke :)
and where did you learn Estonian, well at least this phrase?)

[apollotiger.livejournal.com]

Russian student here! :) It's actually very nice to have more Russians than Russian students because that way when we post a silly question, it's answered quickly. It's also nice to have the students because that way we can have something explained in a way that we understand.

...I'm eager to learn Russian... :)

Can never have too many Russians. :) There's still lots of us learning.

Never mind, it's all right!

I'm half Lithuanian, but living in Russia and actually native speaker. :-)

There are never too many Russians. They're the best people to party with. I'm a polish-american, and I'm more than eager to learn Russian.

I'm a little surprised there are so many Russians here, too, because they already speak it so why would they want to help people like me? This is not a complaint, though, it's a very good thing :)

Welcome!

How about this reason: WE LIKE HELPING PEOPLE!!!! :-)
we sort of learn English better that way as well.
I'm Russian, who is leaving in Ireland for a number of years....Just finished teaching one German and one Irish person Russian alphabet. A lot of fun!

hehe, that's because we're altruists! (hope there's this word in English)

I think a lot of non-Russians, like myself, only post when we have specific comments or questions and spend the rest of the time just browsing so it seems like we're not here. But I'm sure that there are a lot of non-Russians who monitor this community! It's a very helpful resource.

Your LJ info page says you're from Arbroath, Scotland... that's hilarious because my entire family is from Arbroath, although my parents moved to Canada back in the 1970s and I was raised here. I haven't been back since I was a kid but my parents go back relatively often.

I've never come across anyone on the internet who even knows where Arbroath is!

I know where Arbroath is! so now you have two people on the Internet who've heard of it :)
