Russian isn't a real language

Do you ever see a Russian in the movies or video games actually speak Russian? They always speak Russian with this accent, and then they speak gibberish to impress the girls ... Is Russian a real language? I think not.

    Russian is just the upside down version of the English alphabet.

    You could also debate that English isn't a language either, just an inbred mish mash of a variety of prior languages.

    Re: Russian isn't a real language
    In Soviet Russia, they have 2 TV channels:

    Channel 1 has official government propaganda.

    Channel 2 instructs you to switch back to Channel 1.

    Россия – священная наша держава,
    Россия – любимая наша страна.
    Могучая воля, великая слава –
    Твоё достоянье на все времена!



        Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
        Братских народов союз вековой,
        Предками данная мудрость народная!
        Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!

    От южных морей до полярного края
    Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
    Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая –
    Хранимая Богом родная земля!


    Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
    Грядущие нам открывают года.
    Нам силу даёт наша верность Отчизне.
    Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!

    You're right. Btw, you spelled it wrong. It is Kanata. Kanata is a city within Canada.

    Actually, he speaks:

    Somali
    Arabic
    Italian
    Russian
    English

    So his english is pretty broken but it's more than enough to get by. I admire him because he has experienced so much 
    Personally, I know Arabic and English fluently, and I'm learning french (my mom went to university in Paris, she speaks french). Now I know English better than Arabic because I've lived here so long

    Great. Now how do you say "fasten your seatbelt" in Arabic? I heard it on an Emirates flight but it was mostly random gibberish so I couldn't tell. It sounded like it was pronounced "Arajah maker" or something. I dunno.

    For a while there it looked as though Russia would finally be a force for good in this world...but it was only for a moment.
