Clarissa, I was kinda curious. What language do you speak at home with your husband and family?

With each other, we speak Russian. But with our kid we speak English. She knows a few words in Russian (grandpa, cabbage, doll) but that’s it. She’s an English-speaker and a proud American.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your response.
I get the sense not many Russians speak Ukrainian, but pretty much all Ukrainians speak both.

Exactly. N started learning Ukrainian since February 24 because he wants to know the most recent news developments without having to wait for me to come and translate. But before this, he couldn’t understand almost anything, let alone actually say a few sentences.
This is one of the ways Ukrainians identify Russian spies. They can’t say anything in Ukrainian. Their articulation apparatus is so different that everything comes out wrong.
