We are a former soviet republic. But our language is very diferent from Russian. Russians I think understant Ukrainian and Belarus because they are slavonic and ours ir baltic like Latvia and Estonia I think. But we have huge similarityes with Latvian language (some of the words are almost the same in meaning), but the strange thing is we cant understand a shit they are talking. When You look at seperate words, the You can pick out the meanings, but if hearing someone speaking, then no.
Our language (Lithuanian) is one of the oldest languages in the world and some say the hardest. Most of foreners say that our language is very similar to Italian.
I chose German in school as my second language, but it was to hard for me, so no German speaking from me, but I understand some things. I'm 25 and I think those who were born till 1985 - 1987 are the last ones who no can speak Russian. Those who were born latter and after the independens have no idea about Russian language. I never learnd Russian in school but since as a kid and now me and my family whatch Russian chanels I can understant much of it and can speak quate well for a guy who never learned it. But I cant spell or read.
