Today was a fun day. I got up a little after eight to drive Katia to the BART station then came home and started cleaning my room. I cleaned until about 3pm and now I just have some dishes (okay, a lot of dishes), some laundry to do and I need to clear off and organize my table. After cleaning I hung out with Katia, we sat around the house and made драники for dinner and worked on some flash cards. I started writing every word that I know in Russian and I have a pretty decent amount. Up until this point my main focus has been learning the alphabet as well as how to pronounce each letter, writing each letter individually and learning to speak new words. Today I began making flash cards of some of the words I can both pronounce and spell in Russian. Written on the front of each card is the word in Russian and on the back is the same word written in English, just in case I need a little help. I've thought a lot lately about giving Rosetta Stone a shot since soon Katia will be in Belarus for two months and I'll have no one around to help me learn more words and practice but I'm not sure if I will as I haven't actually met anyone who has used it. I think tomorrow I will type out every Russian word I know and post it here.
