tak :). i dated a ukrainian for a while as the city i am from has a bit of a ukrainian community. he did dancing and i figured why not? i also learned some Ukrainian and can still read/write Ukrainian Cyrillic (although my penmanship probably looks like a child's). and by reading, i mean pronounce. i doubt i could remember the meaning of much of it.

it was a lot of fun, and yes, it was hard.

i really miss some of the vegetarian ukrainian food! real varenyky, fresh borshch with smetana, omg.

my current boyfriend is from bosnia, though, so i still have quite the share of slavic food to indulge in, although balkan food is quite different! and now i'm learning bosnian, which pushed a lot of ukrainian out due to negative transfer.
