  1. Hi!

    Just wanted to say that your idea to subscribe to Russian TV online is clever! I opened up the page, and obviously could not read the Russian text, but how much would it cost? That would be my only worry. But ideally, this would be great if a learner subscribed. Fun, interactive, and pleasant. This would be something I would encourage my learners to do (or if not) encourage the parents! Perhaps we could pick a TV series to follow throughout the semester...

  2. I love that your first site has a link the etymology- great stuff.

    Yes, newspapers online. I love it!
    That helps my Spanish a lot.
    I try to keep up with the papers in Barcelona and also watch the national TV station free online. We live in such a connected world now.
    I love it!

  3. Betsy,
    it is 15 dollars a month. To me it seems very affordable especially if it is your major. To order Russian channels in Austin would cost 15 per channel.
    Dirt cheap:)
    Thank you for comments!
