Language Studies

I am working my way through the language pre-work that the Peace Corps recommends. It's 20 lessons of basic traveler-essential phrases, with no emphasis on grammar or any of that yet. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with what I've gone through so far. Because I know some Polish from my mother and studied Russian for two semesters, the words are mostly familiar and the cyrillic alphabet is easy for me to pick up. I'm sure I'm going to have an odd accent, but I should be mostly understandable. Or at least as understandable as I am in English.
