Russian

Because I’m doing English literature and French for second language, I don’t get chance to learn Russian in school. So my mother decided to call tutor for Russian which was terrible news for me. That means I’m learning English French and Russian at the same time. Fortunately, my mom and sister is also doing with me. Tutor was not Russian but who have lived long in Russia. So in first class we learnt from the beginning from the alphabet. There’s 33 letters in Russian. There’s a story about Russian alphabet that why it looks weird. The letters were on the way to Russia from America and the ship was turned over so all the alphabets were sunk into the ocean. So the order of the taken out alphabets from the ocean are now the Russian letters. Now I memorized letter so I need to learn how to read.

It was my chance to develop new skill which is another language. I learnt how to write and read the Russian alphabets. also learnt some basic expressions and words like ‘thank you’, ‘excuse me’, ’hello’, ’good-bye’, ‘water’, ’here’, ’there’, ’how much?’, etc. I was surprised that it was able to communicate with Russians with such shallow knowledge of Russian. Now I can say hello to the guardian. And since lots of words written in Russian sounds like English, so once I got to read a word, I was able to guess the meaning of the contents.  I thought I would be hard to learn because of this difficult looking letters but it was nice. Now I’m interested in Russian, feels like I’m going to be russianholic.
