Victor,Thanks for the kind words- that's encouraging.
I did study English, French, and German in school but I've always been fascinated with Russia and Russian culture*** so over the years I picked up a few words.
Honestly, I believe I know perhaps 100 words and have little syntax. To read, I have to study each letter to establish an overview. My pronunciation: A kind Russian friend says I sound like the noise resulting from backing a Moskvitch over a Dutch person..
But I just don't see how a person can get to understand other cultures without some of that language. I wish I knew Italian.
Victor, what other languages do you know?
Cheers,
Bam
*** For example: About five years in which I declared to listeners of my radio programme that Prokofiev was the greatest keyboard composer ever.
