Story
Russia is a country located in Asia,

I chose to do my research on Russia mainly because that is the language I take in school. I have taken the language since sixth grade and I feel that I am inproving in my speech and knowledge everyday. I am interested to learn a little more about the language I study in school. Knowing Russian is a very hard and challenging thing to do, the alphabet is much different than English and very little of the words are cognates. Also I am 25% Russian, so I am learning about my nationality as well as the language I study.
