1). How Can You Do It? By : Kathy Steinemann
You know it's true. Everyone has told you. You have to spend as much time as possible listening to a foreign language. But how?
* Co-Workers - Friends - Family
If you are fortunate enough to have people around you who speak the language, spend as much time as you can with them. Be forewarned, though. Daily conversation with friends and relatives will probably be filled with idioms and grammar that would make your foreign language teacher nauseous.

8). Russian Romance – I Love You By : Nomad Rick
Romance and Russia, the two words just go together. Unless, of course, you are trying to speak in Russian.
Russian Language
The Russian language is not one that is typically considered a romance language. Based on the Cyrillic alphabet, there are a lot of stops and starts not to mention the occasional harsh noise. Given the fact that I was from California and thus could barely speak proper English, it was all the more a challenge.
