Greetings from the Midwest!

I'm 22 and live 'out in the middle of nowhere' as I've been told by many... I'm a Christian and am preparing to be a missionary. I play violin, viola, piano, and a little mandolin and love to sing! I live on a farm and hand milk cows, hand shear sheep, butcher chickens, throw square bales, and lots, lots more.
I've been working on learning Russian for almost a year, but feel like I'm not making much progress now. I have quite a few Russian (well, most were born in the US, but speak Russian at home and call everyone else "Americans" :) ) friends and they have been helping me out.
I joined another Russian language learning forum, but no one would answer my threads even though there were hundreds of views :( . I hope people are more friendly on here and I can make some new friends!
Бог благословит!

HI genuinefarmgirl . It is the good forum for study russian language. For you, will be useful to use the common chat. And of course, if you looking for some native russian speaker, you may speak to me, via Skype. My Skype is maxitron44. Good luck

Hi, genuinefarmgirl, on this forum, you will get the best answers.

Thanks, maxitron for the offer, but I don't have skype.
I hope to learn a lot on here! :)
