Do young Russians tend to learn English? I've noticed Russians in general prefer to translate and localize most media into Russian instead of bothering with English. Is there not as much pressure to learn English compared to other countries because so much stuff gets translated to Russian anyways?
>>59087>I tried to get educatedYou are not average russian who don't need to educate. Or educate in level not more then university bachelor.>>59094Japan is a capital of Seoul.
>not a single actual textbook on genetics in russian language, translated or original. >What is "actual"? I've checked at the Rutracker and saw a plenty of translated books about genetics in Russian which were published in last 10-15 years.>they're all obsolete as fuck
>>59069Tl;dr We don't know English bc KGB!!!1Which is bollocks, of course. There was no malicious intent, just the context of the Soviet society that prevented ppl from learning languages as a means of communication.Let’s say you study English or German at school. Why? The official stance was, so that you could have a comprehensive and balanced education. In other words, for no real reason. The old Soviet school curriculum (which the students or the school staff had no control over) was chock full of abstract bull that was supposed to mysteriously grow you as a person but in fact was there just to keep you busy. With no access to real English texts or speakers aside from the Moscow Times newspaper which was written and edited by the Soviet publishing house and contained the same articles you could find in any Russian-language newspaper, there were no practical reasons to practice and improve your language, so many lost their skills within a couple months after finishing school.And even in the specialised universities the curriculum was not much different. English and German were taught almost as dead languages, like your Latin or Ancient Greek. You had to master the grammar, the pronunciation (based on scratchy records of awkward politically charged texts narrated by RP-speaking dictors), the very limited vocabulary, and to translate texts on how the Soviet Union has better kindergartens than the US. You also read and discussed (as in, wrote and presented essays on) stories by Maugham, Dickens, and Fitzgerald.And that kinda made sense, too. Again, it wasn’t like you were likely to ever speak to a foreigner given the Iron Curtain and stuff like that so the curriculum and the teaching aids didn’t really need to be adjusted and changed to keep pace with the changing language. You were probably going to become a written translator dealing with technical texts and politically appropriate articles from European socialist papers so good old Dickens and Kaushanskaya’s grammar book (which is still very good and comprehensive today — the Soviet scholars were really good at distilling and codifying grammars) were all you needed to be able to get the job done. And the last bit of foreign language speaking you had to do in your life probably was at your final exam anyway.Times changed with the fall of the Union, but old teaching habits die hard. Traces of this approach to education can be felt even today. When I was starting to study English at school back in the mid- to late 90’s, our old teacher lady taught us ‘I say!’ was a good phrase to start a conversation with a friend. She probably picked that up from Wodehouse’s books and thought it was the way all English people talked. Back in the mid-00’s I was studying at the Moscow State Linguistic University, regarded the best place in Russia to study translation. They used a Modern English textbook published in the freaking 1973. You can check it out here — https://www.twirpx.com/file/1027105/, it’s a marvel to read. There is no ideological bullshit in the curriculum nowadays but university students studying to become translatora and/or interpreters are still force-fed stuff like theoretical phonetics, theoretical grammar, and general linguistics even if they are probably never going to deal with this high-level stuff ever in their professional lives.But there is no malice. There is no KGB approved programme to un-teach people. It’s just a simple reality of teaching and learning languages for reasons other than speaking to actual foreigners. Russian nobility had been doing that for centuries and they didn’t need any KGB conspiracies to justify it.

1000% California. Florida is a fucking shithole, its humid as fuck, full of inbred rednecks with extra chromosomes, constant hurricanes, floods, no jobs, high taxes, insane property taxes, and so on. CA suffers the last 2 as well but its at least more pleasant, nice food, wine, and so on. More Mexicans in California but more Blacks in Florida. Overall, I would rather lose a kidney than live in Florida.

If I was Russian would it be looked down upon in society to date a Tatar girl or any of the beautiful Yakut girls? Or even ossetian girls? What about Armenians and other caucasiansWhat about your families will they care?
>>58829Left 2 from kazakh mother and 2 from tatar motherOn the right is everything from the Russian mother
>>58828 (OP)Naw dawg dating some ethnic chick is totes okay. I married a half-Uzbek girl, she's pretty awesome. For girls to date Caucasian dudes is a bit more questionable as they become "chernilnitsa" (inkwell, or blacked) but as you may guess they don't care much about what others think if they go as low as to let an unwashed khach cock inside her.So basically it's not about racism, it's all about Russian cucks being jelly.

>>58514It just has trouble when there's more than one language one a page, maybe because Latin letters and Cyrillic share some characters. Anyway its about 7 a.m. where I am right now so I'm going to sleep, I'll check the thread again when I wake up
>>58504>I was surprised at how many english images were being posted.Russian internet is pretty well integrated into english internet content-wise. Images with english text often get translated and posted on social networks (read: stolen). I'm talking about lolcats, messaging screencaps and all that normalfag stuff. Russian imageboard speak has it's roots in 4chan speak. General internet speak is pretty similar too. We call dickpicks and nudes the same.You'd be even more surprised if you were bilingual.>it's less of a clusterfuckWell, there are 159 boards open on this site, so...
Becuase unlike KC, 2ch UI is in cryllic which scares off the normalfags, when I first came here I was confused by the UI but now I can navigate with no problem
