thanks everyone.

esp the name in Russian. Very nice of virtuoz.

my learning is slow because of not having sound, being busy, and also medical issues.

I will start writing Russian. I will.

I am also finding 2 things about writing Russian: learning the letters and transliteration and I guess next I will learn actual Russian words.
