I was just wondering why they used the причастие in this case using instrumental:

Я сегодня познакомился с человеком, выросшим в моём родном городе.
Я знаю человека, родившегося в этом городе. (ok, this one is genetive)

As I previously thought, when using который, one doesn't use the same case in the independent clause than the dependent clause (at least not always).

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.
