I'm not the same guy you're responding to.

Russian language sounds awesome
Many talented Counter Strike players from Russia that I need to communicate with in games
Russian language lands in the top 10 of most spoken languages

Point #3 is not the strongest but it is the reason why I have an interest in learning Mandarin (although I have NEVER started the process)
