I would say Jen mi!

@Talib: I learned both Spanish and Russian at 11, but I always had a passion for languages, since I was 9. I discovered Esperanto when I was 12. (I am 39 now)

Mi elkovris Esperanton dum mia dekdua jaro. Mia najbaro kaj amiko parolis la rusan, kaj por vespermanĝi ĉe lia domo, mi devis lerni rusan. (Krome, lia fratino belis! )

And how long have you been fluent in it?

And how the heck did you learn Russian at that age!

I'd say about 5 years. I got reacquainted with Esperanto about 5 years ago.
I was never fluent in Russian, but my new neighbor came straight off the boat from Russia, so to eat dinner over their house, I had to learn Russian! Plus his sister Tamara was cute :)

That's really cool. I want to be as fluent in so many languages as you are.

By the way, it's not correct to leave борщ in the nominative. You need the genitive/partitive case in this case. So: (По)больще борща, пожалуйста. I just put in по- because it sounds better, but either way goes.

Sigh ... I really want to learn Russian, but it puts me off knowing побольше борща, пожалуйста is pronounced [pəbɐlʲˈʂe ˈborɕːə pɐˈʐaɫstə] when I want to say [poˈbolʲʂe ˈborɕtɕa poʐaˈlujsta].

Learn Ukrainian. What you see is what you get--no pesky vowel reduction there!

If you want to learn a "cyrillic" language, I'd advise Bulgarian/Macedonian. My friends says it is simple in comparison. I can understand 75% of a Bulgarian conversation just from my knowledge of Russian alone.

South Slavic languages have a highly phonetic orthography. Serbian and Macedonian in particular.

Russian is the only Slavic language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet which interests me, aside from maybe Serbo-Croat. I'd rather learn Polish or Czech.

Ukrainian is just weird.
