The Houston Russian Language Meetup Group

"Hi, I'm Irene. I was born in Estonia when it was still the Soviet Union, and grew up in NY. I am working in H-town Monday through Friday, and would love to meet up with my fellow russkis and those that enjoy their company ;)"

"Hi my name is Mindi. I heard about your group from a girl at college. I started studying the Russian language 3 semesters ago. I have been interested in Russia since I was a little girl. I will be studying at Moscow State University this summer!"

"Hello, my name is Phillip and I would like to learn to speak and understand the Russian language. I'll going to have to find a photo of myself to post here."

"Hi, I am new in Houston. I would like to make new friends!!"

"Finals are almost over...getting ready to Par-tay!!!! Pangeaday world-wide film brining people together. http://www.pangeaday.org/aboutHost.ph... . "

"welcome to the group"

"Hi Nathalia, glad to see you in the group. How is Houston treating you? I am passionate about the culture and language. I hope you are doing fine ;-)"

"Hey Natalia, great to see that this group exists. Looking forward to meet you!"

"Privet, I've been several times to Russia and had an opportunity to learn basing about the language through my former wife. I am passionate about the culture and developments in Russia at this point."

"Hi Ted, looks like you and your family are also planning on attending this event tomorrow. Ryan, Nic and I and look forward to seing you again."

"What A Neat Group! I Hope I Can Contribute Somehow In The Future! I have several Russian and Bulgarian gal pals here in town.... I will invite them to join, too!"

"Nice To Meet You! I Hope I Can Contribute Something To The Group Soon!"

"I began studying RUSSIAN when I was 14, and today I STILL talk to my first teacher (now in NJ, of course). I'd like to learn much more in a group setting, rather than in a classroom. Houston is a great city for those with Russian language skills!"

"HOpe you can make it to the party on Saturday!"

"Privyet! I'm new to houston. I've been learning russian myself and i hope to find this to be a good opportunity for me to practice it!"

"Hi Gary, thanks for writting to me. I am sorry couldn't get back to you sooner. I know of one Russian Orthodox chirch in downtown houston, but it is certainly not so close to Katy or Richmond. I have heard though that there might be a new ukranian or russian church opened somewhere in Sugar Land or i-59. But I have no idea where or what exactly is their direction. As far as I guess it might probably be Greek Orthodox. But like I said I have no idea where it is. Sorry. :))"

"Zdrastvuyte Lana!"

"My name is Victor and I live in Humble, Texas. I used to speak Russian very well. Now that I have forgotten most of my Russian, I have a job responsible for the FSU. Does anyone know a teacher familiar with oil and gas terms and abbreviations? "

"Zdravstvuite! I moved to Houston last year and I am so glad I found this group to practice Russian with!"

"My name is George Mussenden. I will be flying to Russia in a month and would like to speak to many people in Russain."

"I studied some Russian in school and used it a little while traveling in Uzbekistan. I have allowed what little knowledge I gained to lapse. I have decided I want to regain and expand my Russian language skills."

"I'm going to Moldova in a few months, so a little Russian will be a big help."

"I'm learning the language (still very much a beginner, barely have the alphabet down) and in a few years, I might have the opportunity to go visit Moscow. I'd like to learn a lot before then!"
