I haven't touched it in a while, but I always intend on going and doing some more learning. I will once I truly don't have anything better to do.

It's very nontraditional, I kid you not, the commercials have it bang on, you learn like you were picking up your native language.
starting with learning boys, girls, boy, girl, man, woman, men, women, then things like the man is running, the boy is swimming, and things like that. I just got past learning colors. since I'm not in any situations where I can use it every day my russian is always a little rusty. but I can read cyrillic somewhat.

while I will probably never be able to speak it on a native level, I do intend on being able to keep conversation. :up:

I guess I'm old school:

I've used the russian and english editions. The Russian edition has zero english in it.:up:

100% Russian pedagogy; not for the weak of heart, but you will speak it like a native.

Is it your major, or are you just taking it for fun?

Well that I not the girl.:D To me it is very pleasant that you have remembered this wonderful poem. In a poem it is a question of that that the author tries to be closer to the woman and to cross line separating the stranger and the loved one.

In Russian it is a lot of words similar on English on sounding and sense. By the way, here to you a film, in Russian with a caption... I recommend
