"It's a good time very relaxed and a great way to learn and practice your russian."

"I like to socialize with people that are interested in Russian."

— Jordan Couch (Nov 17, 2007)

"I will only learn Russian by using my books and speaking to someone who wants to listen. Ohterwise, I don't think that most Russian speakers really want to help out students.... since it's a social event. However, this can be a good thing, because I'll know what works for me and what does not. "

"Great company"

— Yuliya Novak (Jul 4, 2007)

"It was awkward and poorly organized as a whole event. I didn't like it except I liked talking to people - this part later on. Fortunately, Americans saved it by being very open-minded, but Russians were shy, reserved, scared - for them it should be better organized. Like I said - some speech is prepared, some issues and events should be discussed, and more importantly to discuss together what are the future meeting should look like. Banya's idea was good, but in a joking way. "

"This is a group Cathy and I hope to be able to keep up with."

— Harv Pulford (May 7, 2006)

"When you come to our Russian language meetup, try to keep conversation in English to a minimum. As far as possible let the conversation stay in Russian. If you don't yet understand Russian, just try to listen for words and phrases you know. Beginners will need to talk to other Russian language students and native Russian speakers in English, but try to keep these conversations quiet without dominating the overall flow of conversation. "

— Brent (Mar 10, 2006)

"I think every evening should start with a "Hi, my name is" and then maybe have everyone say something interesting about themselves, because not only do I keep forgetting people's names, but learning something about them can start conversations..."

— Roberta (Feb 5, 2006)
