17. I go back and forth on this issue all the freaking time, and have

ended up learning neither!

We have tons of Russian friends, and have been there many times. Russia is truly fascinating, and its people are wonderful.

My ancestors are German, too.

While German is probably more useful and widely used, whenever I get the $$, I'm probably going to take a crash course in Russian, just so I can talk to our friends (who are all fluent in English, by the way).

Many Russians also speak German.

Russia will be an economic powerhouse no matter what - the country has too many natural resources for it not to be.

Either one is good.

Does either language pull at your heart? Go with the one you can be passionate about. Use your heart for this decision, not your mind.

I'd be curious to know what you decide ... :hi:
