Hi all,

I just discovered and signed-up to this forum.
I had completed the Russian Pimsleur course in 90 lessons about 4 months ago and I am now working with a number of different courses to try and attain real proficiency. I haven't settled on one single course yet, rather a blend of one and the other: DLI, Princeton,Assimil and others. I now read printed Russian with ease but I am still not good at all with cursive script (can't even make sense of a "Tintin" comic in cursive Russian, in spite of knowing them almost by heart from my youth !).
Russian is hardly my first foreign language: languages have always been my lifelong passion. Moreover, about everyone in my family had a "thing" for Russian language and culture.
If I tackled Russian so late in life it is because days only have 24 hours and there are so many other fascinating languages...

there are so many other fascinating languages...

What languages do you learn, excepting Russian?

Hi Alexandra, and welcome to the forum!
