Relax. Like TATY said, anybody can walk in from the registrar's office and join a class, as long as it's a beginner level course. Even in our crazy neighbor to the north, I don't think they bar Italians from study of Russian! :lol: And for what it's worth, I a)had 0 background in Russian and b)had no Russian ethnicity or any ties whatsoever, actually.

They assigned me to Russian in high-school. I didn't even get a choice!

Wow. What a fascist school! That's really lame. Although, I'd much rather get Russian than, say, Portugese.

Lucky you. My High School would never have even considered offering Russian, and the rest of the language courses offered were total slim-pickings. But times were different then . . .

I can't say because I never studied a language anywhere else. A good deal of my classmates think they're incredible Russian speakers resultant of taking the classes though. I don't mean to sound elitist, but they aren't very good at all.
