Hi, I'm a 16 year old female from the US. When I was very young, I spoke quite a bit of Russian due to my grandmother's use of it around the home. I have not studied it past that, and have forgotten most of what I used to know. I also only knew it verbally, as she never wrote any Russian down or tried to teach me the language.

I have tried to learn a few times, but gave up. I seriously wish to become fluent in Russian, but am not sure where to begin. My grandmother is still alive, but even she is loosing her abilities, as she never uses the language except for when she feels the need to. (She has lived in the US since she was only a few years of age.)
