How slow can you go? I think I'm going to skip the handwriting section unless someone talks me out of it.

I'm essentially done with this book as the rest is appendixes and advice and..whatever. But I'll never really be done?

Quite surprised that you are learning. It must be quite an experience.. I've always had handwriting problems since I was a child. But I can read it fairly well, many teachers and other people always scolded it. I'm still not used to printing and prefer cursive because it's much faster, and it's mandatory in Russian schools.

You did not talk me out of skipping.

i did end up reviewing the cursive...I always wondered, why is it called that? Anything to do with Curse/cursing? Do you have that word in Russian, Mam?
I still think Goodbye America has helped me more than anything..even if i can't always remember the whole thing off the top of my head..wait.... here it comes...

Ok. I know this does not look all that impressive. I could have cut and pasted it from a website. But the truth is I typed it myself on the Cyrillic keyboard. and best of all if you handed this to me as is, I could actually read it back to you with mediocre sounding (probably Polish sounding, pronunciation) not a perfect MockBa accent, but yet...it's only been a few weeks...
