learn_russiani want to learn russian; i've had a fascination with it for the longest time, but have been too intimidated to do anything except learn the cyrillic alphabet. i used to know it pretty well in high school; i took class notes in it so that people couldn't look over my shoulder. lol.
i'm trying to prep my PC so that such a thing is slightly more possible. after all, if most of my computer is showing up in cyrillic, i'm more more apt to learn... sort of a quasi-immersion thing. i'm not currently in school, so this is all going to be self-taught. eek!
i'm having some problems in that the russian keyboard layout doesn't seem to match up phonetically with the english "equivalents". one of the links posted in the userinfo (http://www.translit.ru/) for this community helps with that, but i'm not sure what to do when i'm offline. any suggestions? or will i just have to learn the new keyboard layout? <:/
