по-русски

My latest project: learning Russian. Maybe it has something to do with the Russians at the beach and maybe something to do with the Russians on the Sopranos. Or maybe it’s because my great-grandfather and I think my grandfather spoke Russian. Before this I think I spoke about ten words of Russian, now my vocabulary is well over 100 words, so we can say my ability has increased tenfold.

True, there are other more useful things I could be learning, such as Spanish or computer science, yet there’s something to doing something for the fun of it and not for material or any other gain. And I promise I will start up with Spanish again after New Year’s.
