I try to make Russian a part of my day. (As I'm listening to Russian music now:)). Now that I've become a lot busier since summer, it has become not so simple to think of ways to progress in this language and still stay inspired.
At work, I write a Russian word a day that I can remember and write on my whiteboard to challenge myself and have some fun. It has actually become a good tool since it challenges me to think of a word that I already know and how to write.
Some words include dog, cat, work, read, book, thank you, hello, how are you, please, nice to meet you, may I, what is this, this is pizza to name a few. As I continue to learn more words and memorize writing, it will become easier. But this muscle memory is good because it helps me spell on the spur of the moment, and even practice in a way that is not so typical. Even trying to spell words like someone's name is good practice and can count for a mini lesson in the world of Russian learning.
Hopefully I can share more content soon!
Colleen,
