I'm putting together a bibliography for an independent study I'm undertaking next semester, and I would like to know some good textbooks for a high intermediate/low advanced speaker of Russian that can be purchased either in the US or Russia--although I would much prefer Russian books as American textbooks are so expensive. I would especially like textbooks that focus on idiomatic usage (rather than grammar as I don't really have much of a problem with it) and morphology. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi All,

I'm trying to find the Russian word(s) for "acceptance." I'm looking in the context of "acceptance of one's self" or "self-acceptance."

So far I've come up with:
одобрение

However, I'm worried that this word actually means "approval."

Thanks! Спасибо!

How can you say "I'm looking forward to it" in Russian (as in, you have plans with someone and you are happy about them)? Thanks!
