Yeah, well it seems quite easy to find examples of Americans speaking Russian, but as they sound bizarre to me when they speak English i hardly feel that they sound as we sound in Russian!!

Still, i was surprised at how people in Moscow assumed that i - speaking Russian - was an American when i went there last winter (they were a lot bloody friendlier when i told them i wasn't )

Sometimes i do wonder if i should just give up trying to sound Russian as when i speak "normally" my teacher says i sound quite good, quite masculine; but when i really try hard she says i sound like a Ukrainian woman (lol_) and half-incomprehensible...
