<p>Well, I’m still a high school student graduating in 2010 (answer to #2). To #4: I think it is, because Russia is one of the most powerful and developed countries as far as economics is concerned. In addition, I am from Eastern Europe and have been to Russia once, I liked the country very much, so I think learning Russian will work perfectly for me. I mean establishing contacts there will let me travel to Russia often and enjoy the country; therefore, I will be able to combine work and fun.</p>
