I recently made a friend in my department who has offered to tutor me in Russian. I'm completely self-taught and would probably be somewhere in the middle of my first semester of Beginning Russian if I were in a formal class. I own a couple of textbooks (which I'm working through) and tapes, as well as a dictionary, but I don't really know where to start. What is the best way to make use of a fluent language tutor when you're beginning Russian?
