I agree, Impulse... I think it takes a combination of many learning techniques. I am concerned about learning Russian grammar (parts of speech and all that fun stuff). I can speak and write perfect English and I know how to use proper grammar/punctuation very well, BUT knowing the technical aspect of it... like knowing parts of speech, etc... I'm lost. I obviously know what a noun, verb, and adjective are, but when it gets really deep into the grammar it goes over my head. :/ In college I had two composition classes... the first was strictly writing essays, reports, and stuff and I got an A in that class. The second comp class was all about grammar and I almost failed that class. Now how does that happen? lol
