Ok, thanks, especially for links. Brandmeister
Hi! English, Latin and Polish is one of the more exotic combinations of secondary languages I've ever seen :D Of course, I assume Polish wasn't *too* difficult to learn for you as a Russian? I have a Polish girlfriend (who speaks German and English fluently), and she has this Russian fetish; apparently all things Russian are either really cute or really funny to her. Her parents (who were rather active in the resistance movement of the 80s ;p) don't like that idea very much, but basically they're just amused.
You say you like good science fiction; I haven't read any science fiction in a long while (unless you count H. G. Wells and Vonnegut). What would you recommend to me?

Yes, I think when you know any Slavic language it's easier to study Polish. But many words with similar pronunciation have different meanings. It's because not many Poles like Russian language:) I improved language when I was in Krakow for about 8 months. I like especially "technical" SF (recommend William Keith "Warstrider" [in 4 volumes], Aldous Huxley "Brave New World" or Tom Godwin "Mother of Invention") and don't much like socialistic SF.
