Ha! Similarly, I always thought that if you know Russian Ukrainian sounds a little silly. Every time I visit my folks (Ukrainian & Armenian fam) they always have Ukrainian TV on. I really started paying attention and appreciating the language. It flows so much better than Russian and sounds so melodic. It's really beautiful. One thing I found odd is that I simply cannot comprehend it most of the time outside of picking out separate words here and there. Both of my parents have near-native comprehension of the language even though neither can speak it.
