learn Russian

:)

I stopped learning Russian at intermediate level many years ago. I think I forgot a lot, but I could remember more than I would think if I really tried. I have some relatively new textbooks, a dictionary and a casette. (I still have no casette player.)
I don’t think that I can start it this year. Probably later. It’s not so important, but it would be fun.

taking Russian this year in school. sweet deal.

I’m going to try to begin working on learning Russian before July – when I am taking only one class instead of two – but sadly, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Argh!

i really like the idea of being able to just burst into conversation with my russian friend (that’s not in english), i just don’t like the idea of work! i’m very lazy, that’s one of the reasons why i signed up to 43 things – to STOP BEING LAZY.

i’ve not done badly so far. i taught myself the cyrillic alphabet, which is really important. there’s hardly any internet site that teaches russian free in roman alphabet phonetics.

i can ask where your baggage is as well. a vital phrase.

Today I submitted the final essay for my second Russian course. It was one full page of text, in which I told about myself, my hobbies and my family members. Regardless of what the teacher says about it, I’m quite satisfied with it and I can say that I now know the basics of Russian.

I still cannot speak Russian very well, nor do I understand it when spoken at a normal tempo, but it’s a start. I’m definitely going to continue studying Russian in the autumn. :-)

I take russian in school. But the school year is almost over, and alas, there will be no russian here next year. Why? Because the teacher is horrible. she doesnt teach it right. all we do is vocab, and powerpoint projects about the country. She doesnt teach us how to form proper sentences. plus she expects us to learn vocab in one day, and yells at us if we come in the next time not knowing, or not remembering. Its ridiculous. ive been thinking about rosetta stone. Anybody know if that works? Any other suggestions as to how i can learn russian? Its an interesting language, and what i do know, i do like. A lot. I want to speak it fluently.
Please feel free to suggest any method of language-learning to me. :)

I have to learn other foreign languages for various exams that are ahead of me: English, French, German, Japanese… I won’t manage to learn Russian in addition to those four.
I will think of reopening the goal in 2010 :)

I took a beginner’s continuing education Russian language course at Rice University. I didn’t take another semester because I decided to take an art class. I think I need to be more determined.

I am determined to learn some Russian this summer! I’ve learned my alphabet (for the most part) and I’ve bought a bunch of books, so now it’s just a matter of buckling down and studying!
