Date: Sunday, 8 January 2006 10:39 am (UTC)Must tell you that being a fan of UNCLE (Illya) and Star Trek (Chekov) in the 70s did have some bearing on me taking up Russian and ending up doing it (with German) at uni. OK, I was always attracted to languages anyway, but when it suddenly turned up on the school curriculum, I pounced.
It really *is* useful for various films, TV shows, though. And there is some satisfaction to be derived from noticing when a pseudo-Russian character really screws up on the pronunciation, too *g*.
Where / how are you learning it? I have to admit that although I understand it well enough even after all this time, the idea of writing it or even speaking it is scary. Seems a long, long time (OK, it *is* a long, long time since I taught it at night school in my post-grad year - 1979!).
