I was thinking recently how last summer I restarted to learn Russian. I was reviewing the alphabet on a bench near the beach with a beautiful look out. Now it's already been a year! This year has (mostly) been dedicated to learning Russian and here are some things that I have done along the way.
1) Learn how to read and pronounce Russian words. (This is the 3rd time attempting to learn Russian, and it finally clicked with the alphabet)
2) Did a daily language challenge in August, with reviewing and studying every day for 15-20 mins.
3) Got a Russian language partner in the beginning of the year.
4) Wrote a Russian Word of the Day on the whiteboard in my classroom throughout the school year.
5) Read some of the book Sovietstan, and Animal Farm (want to continue with these).
6) Made videos for Russian language
And there is more to come! :)
