I'm Phoenix(I am so glad this name was not taken, you have no idea).
For awhile I've been interested in learning a second language. It took me awhile to finally pick one but I picked Russian. I haven't been able to remain very consistent with learning it though, but only because I study alone and that's just plain boring. No one I know speaks Russian or is learning to so it's hard to stay motivated sometimes. I signed up here because I'm hoping I can really get back into it and make some major progress. With other Russian students and speakers a click away I think it'll be much easier to stick with it this time around.
My cyrillic's also suffering pretty badly right now, so until I relearn the alphabet, I won't be able to read much, sorry
(odd that 'cyrillic' comes up as a typo on this board lol)
