Hello everyone! My name's Richard, I'm a college student from South Dakota USA, and I'm studying Russian because....well, because I thought it would be a fun thing to do I only just started a week ago, so I have pretty much no working vocabulary yet but I'm loving it so far.

Any advice is more than welcome, of course. This is really the first foreign language I'm trying to learn, and I don't have a teacher or know anyone who speaks Russian, so any tips or tricks that can help me get a better knowledge of the language are appreciated!
