    It's very interesting, how old people interested
    in Russia and Russian language are.

    A very good test, but I'd make some addition about learning Russian in childhood. The way the child learns language is also important here. He is more likely on his way to be a native speaker if he spends enough time in enviroment that uses Russian as means of communication (not necessarily a big society, can consist only of the parents, though the bigger the better ), that is to say the natural way the child learns to speak his first language.

    Yes I am fluent in Russian and I learnt it from when I was a baby. I just was not sure as although my family are Russian, I was not born in Russia or CIS Countries.

    Learning Russian in your childhood? Why not? I am 14 years old (okay, I'll be 14 in 15 minutes and I wonder if I'm still a child, not a teenager) and I started learning Russian about 3 months ago... So I'm not a native speaker.

    Of course it's great! The earlier one begins to learn languages the better. But as far as I know no one here said anything against it.

    You are a teenager. You are a teenager if your age is from 13 to 19 inclusively. But that doesn't contradict being a child. You can be a child even at 60. I'm 23, but I'm still a child in many ways.

    Happy birthday, Vremita, and welcome to this site I hope it will help you a lot!
    By the way, it's great that the day of your registration will be the same as your birthday.

    Pravit was 12 when he started learning Russian. I was 16 (still am ). A lot of kids here started at 15 or 16. And Russians start at the age of 0, so if they can do it, why can't we? (yeah, yeah, I know why not, jeez...)

    I started at the age of 16 and am 17 now. Its only been 6 months, but I spend much time with a Russian family who speaks english only when addressing me. Even though I have little idea as to what is being said, I am slowly picking up a new word per day (that sticks).
    I started with 'pa-ca' but apparently I can't even announciate that correctly.

    I have enjoyed it.
    Understanding now to know tomorrow.
