When I first started to learn Russian, last year, my daughter was very supportive. She looked up films in Russian with English subtitles and sent me the link to them. Then she found someone on the internet who was offering to write a letter in Russian. When I received the letter it was alarming as written Russian is quite different from the printed words. I am only just beginning to use handwritten Russian, perhaps I could now reply to that letter. Next my son found me a keyboard with Russian characters. He showed me how to tell my computer to accept the Russian alphabet. This I can now do quite quickly. Maybe I will write a post in Russian some time soon. Before I have used Google translate to do this, but it is not very satisfactory. In any case I want to improve my Russian.My friends are also very tolerant of my great enthusiasm for all things Russian, a special mention goes to the friend Hazel who is coming to Russia with me in the summer.
