One of my ancillary goals for 2016 is to learn some Russian. I haven’t set any specific objectives because, next to my day job and The STEMpunk project Russian is a very minor pursuit. It would be cool, however, to maybe record a five minute conversation with a native speaker near the end of the year and maybe take a standardized test like the Common European Framework for Languages.

Anyway, I finally got around to recording and subtitling a video of myself speaking almost all the Russian sentences I’ve learned up to this point, and would love any feedback from knowledgeable Russian speakers.
