Click on the quote button at the top of the post that you want to quote. You can edit the quote as you need as long as long as it begins with quote =+ the persons name and ends with "[/quote]"

PS Or is it just that MR gave you the screwy quote button?

I am not sure what's wrong... I can quote the entire post without any problems but when I try to get just chunks of it, I can't get the person's nick to be displayed, among other problems... so, I am leaving all those long posts intact... Bummer..

А куда же все иностранци ушли? Одни русский здесь

мы ушли туда, где солнце греет!

This seems to be the only introduction topic around here, or at least it used to be one...
So I'll keep it short:
I'm from Fribourg, Switzerland, 21 years old and have been learning Russian for almost 3 years now. I'm a student, but what I study has nothing to do with Russian. I grew up in a bilingual household (german/french) and started learning English at an early age.
First I was just interested by the cyrillic alphabet, but then one day I decided to start learning Russian or at least see where it goes... Last year I spent 6 weeks in St. Petersburg to deepen my knowledge of this awesome language ( ) but I'm still much better at reading comprehension since I don't get to use my oral Russian a lot...
I've been checking out this message board for a while and I've finally decided to register and to benefit from you guys' help with my question about russian grammar/vocabulary.
So, uh, hi!

Hello, Kigacho, WE WERE WAITING FOR YOU!

Добро пожаловать, Kigacho!
Хорошо, что решил представиться. Чувствуй себя как дома.
Здесь все свои.

You are welcome Kigacho!

Hiya!

Привет, Kigacho! I am new here, too. I'm here to improve my Russian - my mother is Russian, but came to the United States when Senator McCarthy was leading his Communist witch hunts. She grew up under Stalin, and understood oppression, so she did not teach us Russian...but I've been raised with "You don't know how lucky you are..." and she's right!

My husband says I'm the only person he knows that has studied a language for 30 years and still cannot speak it...so here I am. Nice to have another newbie here.

This forum really does need a formal introduction thread! I couldn't find one, and am just taking advantage of Kigacho's introduction!!

I am from Russia, the former USSR. We lived in many places, but we moved a lot hoping to escape KGB surveilance. Accelerated enough to emigrate in 1997. We ended here, in USA. Now, I am retired in Virginia. The kids are grown up. We have grandchildren feel perfectly at home. "The America Dream" came true in a satisfactory form. However, I watch events in Russia, love Russia and wish happiness and stability to my original home country. During my 30 years in USA, I have never been back to Russia.

Howdy. I have a question though. You write:
Accelerated enough to emigrate in 1997... and than you write:
During my 30 years in USA


Something does not add up here...

куда: Мой синь и я поедём в Грасии !

I am going to concentrate on learning a few phrases of Greek, and will return to this forum in about 3 weeks.

I am recommending this place to friends, everyone is just wonderful (even you, DDT!)!

пока!

How do your kids and grandkids feel towards Russia, though? Have they lost their heritage?

Kalinka, you don't understand, it's a message from the future! From the times then "The American Dream" come true, and the horror of bloody KGB in 1997 seems just like a bad dream.
