Alouette - you're thinking of studying Russian? Is it a family or interest thing?

Here's the blurb I have up on my NaNo profile:

Quote:
In a world where no one can hide - Nia Thorne is invisible.
CONCEAL is a software that makes it impossible for anyone to track or see you. It was created by Nia's scientist father for the Underground - an international group of rebels who are hell-bent on dismantling the government. Luke Thorne had been a member of the Underground for years which is why Nia was a bit confused when he came home and told her that: a.) he quit his job and b.) they needed to go into hiding.
Nia has been hiding for a year now.
She doesn't know where her father is and because he has CONCEAL installed in his brain - she can't track him. Now seventeen, Nia must fend for herself. With invisibility on her side, she can rob grocery stores and malls whenever she pleases, sleep in luxury hotels and dine at five-star restaurants. Sometimes she goes to sit in classrooms and other times she sneaks into movie theaters, anything to keep her from thinking about her father.
And then she meets Julian.
He can see her.
He's the first person she's spoken to in a year.
He tells her that he can help her.
She believes him.
There's a lot more to the story but...yeah.

Alouette - I've always been interested in Russia. I studied 19th and early 20th century Russian history at school, and it's fascinating how theyve transitioned.

Yeah, I just think it's a really culturally diverse country and the literature and history is just amazing. We've never been able to do much Russian history at school unfortunately but I've been reading some pretty interesting books on it and I've done my own research and I love it

Yeah, I wrote something about that near the top of the page actually?^^ Sounds very cool.

Both my parents were born in Mauritius which is a former French colony so my mum's first language was French and I have French ancestry. French was actually my first language, but I went and forgot it somehow when I started primary school.

Wow so you're both bilingual
Studying Russian history was kind of random, actually. It was only because history in (the equivalent of the American sophomore year) was an elective course and the teacher had discretion to choose the topics. He was from the Soviet Union, so he chose to teach what he was passionate about.
My first language was Cantonese but I'm kind of hopeless at it because i don't practice enough.

Well, I used to be but I forgot it (how one can forget their first language is beyond me...).

I've gotten back to the level where I can pretty much understand it though.

Ooh, Cantonese is very cool. I imagine it would be really, really difficult to learn that language so it's good that you can speak it. Whenever I say I want to do Russian, people ask me why I don't do Chinese instead...

If you don't speak it, it's easy to forget but it should be easy for you to pick up the language again (as compared with learning it from scratch).
sYW is a great resource! Use it wisely
