How I learned Russian for Free…

Я натолкнулся на большой вебсайт на днях по имени LiveMocha, и мой план прямо сейчас состоит в том, чтобы заняться новым языком, потому что, ну, в общем, я только знаю английский язык. Требуется меня 21 год, но я думаю, что я имею это вниз…

If you’ve spent anytime learning languages for free over at LiveMocha, you’d know that I just said:

I came across this great website the other day called LiveMocha, and my plan right now is to tackle a new language, because, well, I only know English. It’s taken me 21 years, but I think I’ve got it down…

From the LiveMocha site:

…Livemocha is an interactive online community that includes lessons, a diverse community, chat and motivational tools to keep you on track in learning a language or two.

…Maybe you’re not ready for conversations. Instead, build your confidence by doing a writing or speaking lesson. Native speakers will look over your work to provide grammar and accent tips. Before long, you’ll be ready to start speaking.

…Livemocha contains a friendly community of like-minded language learners. You’ll make friends with and connect with native speakers. Interacting with people from around he world will quickly develop your conversational skills and give you insight into regional language nuances, customs, and culture.

About

After attending school for Economics & Business, I was fortunate enough to hook up with several mentors willing to take me under their wing and open my eyes to a world of business, collaboration and game-changing innovation.

And while doing business in China, developing products for souks in Abu Dhabi and working on a startup right here in Toronto would be great additions for anybody’s resume, I am most grateful for the couple of CEOs and the one-of-a-kind Consultant who have shown & allowed me to think differently and make a real impact. The fact that I’ll likely never use that resume is my biggest indicator that I’m on the right path to an exciting and rewarding career.

The Kev Blog celebrates those principles: entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity, freedom, collaboration, and youth. A collection of articles for CEOs looking to keep ‘in the loop’, and for young renegades on a mission to show us the next disruptive company or technology that will change the world.

I believe there should be young people contributing and influencing decisions at the top of every organization, that age is a state of mind and that the most successful organizations in a game-changing world will be those which embrace youth and collaboration.

This is The Kev Blog – a collection of game-changing ideas.

Hey Kevin,
Livemocha is a good site which will introduce you to the basics of Russian. If you want a more variety of Russian study materials, and/or have questions you want answered about learning Russian, I recommend you check out italki.com. You can chat with native speakers via the site as well. Good luck in your studies; learning a foreign language in a noble pursuit. Here’s the link for learning Russian– http://www.italki.com/learn-Russian.htm
