I can think of about four or more kids at my school whose families speak Russian. But I'm not sure how many of those kids themselves speak Russian. So I'm wondering, does Natalie speak Russian? My husband, for example, was born in Rio de Janeiro, his parents are both Brasilian, and yet he never learned Portuguese, because his parents wanted to make sure he learned the "foreign" language of English. Of course at this point, that bugs him no end!
