Hello from me in the UK

Hi, I'm a 42 year old nurse from the UK. I have been fascinated with Russia and the language since I was about 14. I would love to visit one day. I am starting to teach myself the alphabet and some simple words and hope to improve and move on to phrases :smiley: My brain isn't as good as it used to be, but hopefully I'll be able to make some progress. I love the language and the way it looks and sounds. It's a huge challenge for me to be learning something like this.

I am married with two boys and I love music, the countryside, animals and history. My husband has reluctantly agreed that we can visit Russia one day and I'm having fun confusing him with my newly learnt words :lol2:

I have virtually no knowledge of pronounciation and no understanding at all of Russian grammer, so my quest can only become more difficult. Any pointers would be gratefully received. I would hope to begin to communicate with a penpal at some point in the future.

Onward and upward.

Wellcome!

Hello and welcome!
