[flag=]ru[/flag] I've wanted to learn Russian for some time now and I want to finally do it this year. I know some of the very basics, like reading the alphabet, but that's pretty much just it. I don't know how much I'm going to accomplish with this.

I'm a bit disappointed in that and I want to make it less rusty. I've been considering joining some conversation classes so I'll get more of a chance to practice.
[flag=]it[/flag] I can understand Italian well, but my writing and speaking are a bit basic, I think, and could use improvement. I want to become fluent in Italian eventually and this is a good chance as any to start working on that.

I was able to maintain my French for some time at a moderately decent level by speaking with French speakers regulalry--although I didn't attend a French conversation group, I had a lot of interactions with the French community in the city where I used to live. But over a decade ago I moved to a city where I have yet to run into a singular native French speaker so far. So needless to say, even though I can pretty much still read real-world French at a modestly proficient level, my overall French ability has detoriated a lot without having regular speaking practice.
