First Day Of Class Or The One Where Jeff Gets Russian Grammar Lessons In Russian

Surprise! Today I showed up at a meeting with my new Russian teacher. She's the director of the Russian language program (translation she teaches Russian teachers who to teach Russian).

The incredible part of this is that she doesn't speak English… So I'm learning Russian in Russian. The toughest part is probably the grammar - so I'm starting to cram grammar terminology so that I can keep up!

I've learned a ton already - and my comprehension levels are already on the rise. The crazy thing is that she's really into my pronunciation - so that means I'm memorizing tongue twisters in Russian to perfect my vowel and noun sounds.
