Russian is a difficult language, but it is REALLY interesting. If you don't think so, I can prove you wrong! As a person who learned 3 foreign languages myself, I know have unpleasant learning can be if the things the teacher tells you are boring and make you want to sleep. When I started teaching languages (6 years ago), I decided to never make my students bored. During my classes, I always choose topics that my students enjoy and try to make them "sense" the language by using it 80% of the time (yes, you may not understand what I say at first, but believe me, after some time you will realize that somehow you start understanding!)
