Russian

This was a 200 level Russian language course that focused on reading, grammar, vocabulary and more succinct communication skills. I dont know what else to say to further describe this course. It was a small class, very reminiscent of high school. The Instructor was Natasha Boykova which was great because shes russian and im pretty particular about foreign language instructors being native speakers.
Im very thrilled about this class. It was very easy for me because im fluent in russian, but it helped me alot with some things that i had difficulty such as spelling, reading etc. Im still in awe by my amazing classmates. It was so impressive to see them speak and read and answer questions in russian. Its not easy learning a language especially russian. Like i said, im fluent in it and i still find myself stumbling through some of the conjugations. My professor was pretty engaging, i enjoyed listening to her speak when she spoke russian because it was so perfect. This class didnt change my perspective on art, it did however made me consider minoring in russian.

Russian, isn't that supposed to be the hardest language to learn, next to English? This is impressive.
