This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My native language is Russian and I have met a black woman who speaks Russian better than I do. (I haven't been there for over thirty years so maybe there are some black people living there now, but I never saw one before coming to the US.) Her parents are diplomats and she is fluent in a couple of other languages too because her family lived in several different countries when she was growing up.

Can you elaborate more on how she used it?

I think she learned it as a kid because it was the language of where she lived, but she didn't use it much in the USA. The reason we met was actually because she wanted someone she could practice speaking it with.
