" Russian is a challenging language.  Sure, you may have to master a certain number of skills before really using it, but it is so rewarding to see that in a short time you have opened yourself to a whole new linguistics, culture, and way of life"

"Don't stress out at the beginning of the year.  It all gets easier."

"Russian is so much fun!"

"Be ready for a fun and challenging year!"
