This is a genuine question. I've always had an interest in learning languages and I have a list I want to learn. I am already somewhat decent in Spanish, so I'm picking up that, practicing my Portuguese, going to learn French and Italian, maybe German, learning Polish, and possibly Russian.

I already canceled the idea of living in Russia due to obvious reasons, but will I have any need to learn the language? Will it be useful? Will that be offensive? Many people HATE Russia and the language.

True lol

But figuring out just how much "u" you need to write, or how many are there, is a bit tedious without the language experience.

    True, but there's a high chance you'll accidentally write something that's correct than in latin script. When I was learning Russian in high school I spent more time than I should trying to come up with a word that has the most "u" shapes. Sadly I don't remember what I settled on, but it was quite a bit long.

    The classic ones are "шиншилла" and "лишишься", although the latter could be extended to "лишившийся". 11 of the same strokes for the latter, if my calcultations are correct.
