learn_russianHello, hello. My name is Anne.
I am new to this community and to the Russian language. I started to become really interested in languages halfway into grade 9, and Russian is probably the most interesting to me.
I have been trying to teach myself at home, and I mostly use the book Ultimate Russian. It is pretty good, especially for grammar. Unfortunately, I do not own the book so I have to keep checking it out of the library. I think I might just buy the book, not the tapes since that is really the expensive part ($20 // $75), and check the tapes out when I need them.
So, the point of this entry is really only to say, I am new.

Date: 2005-01-27 10:29 pm (UTC)my advice on the books: if there are any used bookstores around, check to see if they have any foreign languages stuff (a long shot sometimes, but I've made some good finds, including a lot of books I'm quite unable to read at this point. lol.). Also, sometimes places online like ebay might have used or cheaper books (haven't bought anything in Russian online myself, but have found great deals on books in German on ebay).

Date: 2005-01-28 12:21 am (UTC)I usually look for foreign language books wherever I go, but I usually only find books in Spanish. Sometimes the online bookstores have links to places where you can buy a used copy of a book. I have not been looking very hard, honestly, and that could be part/most of the problem.
Re: Oh...
Date: 2005-01-28 12:40 am (UTC)Thank you very much! I have not really had much trouble, since I have not learned very much yet, except when it comes to spelling, I am usually confused about when to use "ь" and "ъ" unless I look the words up in a dictionary. I do not use an electronic one, since I am not very good at spelling.
