Desperate to learn Russian. I am going to Russia next year.

My father is a missionary and hr travels to Russia each year during the summer. I plan on going with him next year and I am desperate to learn to speak, write, and read Russian. I already know the alphabet, I just need some help on pronunciation and other basic principles of the Russian language. I already know how to speak French and I am now in love with the Russian language. I would appreciate anyone who could help!

Thanks,
:D Mandy Kay

urmm... I'm not Russian, but lemme stress here that the Russian alphabets in the computer are different from the writing variant... it has 6 cases, and each case has different rules. hope u can learn that arduous language well... bonne continuation...
