Learning Russian by Heart I've been learning Russian for a while. I've always been curious about Russia and this year I decided to learn more about it. Learning the alphabet was really tough, but very satisfying. What I like about Russian language is the fact that once you learn the alphabet you can read it all. It doesn't mean that you know the meaning of the words. Still I think it's awesome. As I didn't want to get into grammar too early, I decided to skip some parts and I bought a phrase book. At first I was astonished by the amount of phrases I could memorize. I even thought that I had a sort of super memory. ( I'm afraid that I should have stopped reading comics earlier =)). As days went on I noticed that many of those words were somehow slipping my mind. By this time I decided to go find a language partner. It's been great to have someone to help me out. I just hope that I can keep on going and learn more and more about this lovely language.
