I can't do that because I only just turned 15, so I guess I'll just have to hang out in Northeast Philly for a bit. That place is soooo Russian.

Yea, but what about L2 speakers?

That is very individual. Some people after some efforts get used to it and starts to speak automatically. Some, including even professional Russian teachers etc., get good theory but have problems of fluent speaking forever. No guarantee.

Is there Russian stores, restaurants etc. in Northeast Philadelphia? If so, what is there? I'm live about 60 miles from Philadelphia.

They have restaurants, Russian music and book stores, a supermarket, many of the store signs are also written in Russian.

In fact, my bus used to drive through there on the way to my elementary school, so the first Russian words I ever learned when I was 9: аптека, столовая, and книги from the signs on the storefronts we passed.

This is the section of the town:

Bustleton, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I definitely going to check out the book stores and eat at a restaurant there - Anything else you recommend doing there?

Thank you,
