I'm absolutely amazed that in 3 pages of comments, no one's made a joke. You all put me to shame.
I learned the basics of Russian in college, and had a friend who also took it a few years later, so I actually babbled in it for quite a while...but nowadays I think I remember about 12 words in all.
The only "other" reading I do these days is trying to muddle through the menu at the authentic Mexican restaurant up the street.
