learn_russianWhat is the best that you have heard a non-native speaker get at Russian?
The reason I ask is, I have never heard of a native English speaker becoming fluent in Russian, unless they grew up speaking it already (i.e. in a bilingual household). Even my friends who majored in it in college are nowhere near fluent. I'm just curious if you know anybody who did not begin to study Russian until college, who has attained a level of mastery that would enable them to do something like, say, practice law in Russia or write a novel in Russian.
