no, i didn't go to college, i learnt about her from my sister, who also taught me basic english when i was 18. but i don't know french, i only studied it for a few months many years ago. it would be fun to learn a completely different language though, because after all french is very much like english... btw, your russian is very good, you should get russian keyboard and learn spelling. if you need that, of course, as errors that foreigners make are rather endearing. there was a friend from usa who said учЁники instead of учЁные, that was very cute!
