Hello

I learn the alphabetic from this site:
http://langintro.com/rintro/index.htm

and I learn some words from this:
http://www.ilike2learn.com/ilike2learn/ ... index.html

and from then I read news from Google news in Russian and translate the words with Google translation tools, and copy some of the word to Wordquiz:
http://peterandlinda.com/wordquiz/index.php
Actually to Kwordquiz which is the Linux version of it.

but it is boring....
also to learn words which not connect to anything it's boring.

How can I learn Russian in not boring way?

for example, other languages have advantages like Spanish and Japanese since there have fun unique culture ( soap opera and anime, manga)
