mhh, all negative replies
I don't want to go to like.. law school, there's 300 people in 1 class, you really need to excel if you want to achieve something in ur life,
in Russian class there's like 10 people, so when you graduate you'll be more or less unique.
I read someplace ( Encarta 2005 ) that the Netherlands is one of Russia's most important business associates, so that's positive + I know french / German / english, so there should be plenty of job opportunities ?
I can see you're all very motivated people and you learn languages because you love them, I love langauges aswell such as french & english, I'm the best in my class in those 2 and I've got a real feeling for languages, example: I don't use the english tenses I just feel what I'm supposed to use, same for french, I don't even know the rules, I just ... talk.. as if it were my mother tongue.
I don't know whether Russian will be that easy either, since you have dativ,akkusativ,genitiv,nominativ and 2 others
plus the cyrillic alphabet
but I don't really see another option since I'm rather @@@@ at maths
