Anyway... Thanks to everyone who has showed interest in this particular area. While I agree that having a native speaker teach would be ideal, I would rather move forward in some instruction, so long as the information I present is not erroneous. I had signed my children up for classes with a native speaker, but the class was cancelled because my children were the only ones enrolled. Classes with a native speaker may become a possibility later since I will be helping with PR.

My children are advanced in their studies of American English and do know parts of speech. I think they would be able to comprehend some very basic Russian grammar. They know the Cyrillic alphabet now and I've begun teaching them verb conjugation and they do understand that. Still, it would be most helpful if someone recommended something that was helpful in learning Russian as a second language.

As a contribution to the battle of English vs. American English: We don't flog fags in this country!
