Description

Greetings,
I would like to become fluent in Russian language as soon as possible. This is for both career and personal development. It is necessary for me. I also speak French, and so I am not unaccustomed to learning a foreign language.

My fiancée and I have some fairly significant challenges with our personal communication s. Until only recently, I have felt my Russian language skills are 'adequate'. I now have learned my Russian is 'terrible'. I regularly travel to Ukraine, up to 4 times per year. The areas in which I particularly require fluency are grammar and conversation. I have specific difficulty with the normal use of 'double negatives' in Russian, which in English generally causes your statement to mean the exact opposite of what you want to say.

I am able to understand the gist of Russian conversation in others. I am able to converse with people in Russian IF they will speak slowly for me - more more slowly than normal conversation.

How much time I am willing to dedicate to my Russian language studies is 'every waking hour', when I am not working. I have been 'self-studyin g' Russian for over 4.5 years. This includes a number of travels to immerse myself in the language and culture.

I would like to find quality instruction sensitive to my conversationa l needs. For example, colloquial instruction rather than full formal instruction, including slang.
