Learning Russian
I’ve spent the last 4 months learning conversational Russian. I just completed the first two courses (of six) from Pimsleur.
I decided in February that I needed something intellectually stimulating. I listen to the CDs and do the exercises on my way to and from work and also on my walk in the evenings (which used to be a run before the appendectomy . . .).
I’ve also been reading the Book of Mormon in Russian. Learning the Cyrillic Alphabet has been, and continues to be, a real challenge. I speak fluent Spanish and understand and read a fair amount of Italian. I wanted to learn a new alphabet and language that was quite different from those. (I’ve actually been surprised at how similar Russian is to Spanish . . . may “aural” cognates.) I don’t really know what I’ll do with it . . . but I’m going to keep it up until I’ve been through the 2 Intermediate and 2 Advanced courses. It has been good for my brain and my interest on my drives.
Also, a little sad, I just went through all the comments my blog had flagged as spam over the last few years and found a lot of non-spam comments in there. If you’ve left a comment in the past and never saw it go live, that’s why. It’s fixed now . . . I have to approve the comments but at least they’ll go into the right bucket!
