Oh... I found this flashcard in my box, as I'm going through words and phrases for review. I thought it was incredibly cute:

"Извините, Я не понимаю. Я Американец/ка."

"Excuse me, I don't understand. I'm an American."

This is what what useful to me as a foreigner, studying in Russia. :)

Yeah, it really is quite Russian - to play a smartass in front of foreigners while being barely able to put two words together in their language.
