"never thought russian could be understood by spanish people"...
So this means what? If not that Spanish people are incapable of learning Russian? I may not grasp the mechanics of the English language as well as others, but the context and idea presented by this sentence appears to be simple enough: Spanish people are generally unable to understand Russian. Break it down and show me how that this is not what is stated.
Now my question is what does being of Spanish decent have anything to do with understanding or speaking Russian? Is it an insinuation that perhaps their brains are wired differently?
I am a person of Mexican decent (from the group cataloged by you as being "Spanish people"). I am learning Russian, even though I do not speak Spanish; believe it or not being of Spanish decent does not automatically make that person a Spanish speaker.
