It is going okay.  I never thought it would be so much work or maybe my
brain is just too old to learn another language.   Of course I am
not sure that starting with Russian was the best choice for a new language.
Wishing now I was going somewhere they speak Spanish.   I am happy
with my ability to read (working hard to pick up new vocabulary). 
Listening is still difficult.  Sometimes I get it and sometimes I only hear
words without meaning.  From my last exam I am very close to my goal
(requirement) and I still have about 4 months of language training left.

From the webpage: For the information of those who are puzzled about what
m„mmi tastes like -its malty flavour somewhat resembles the Irish beers
Guinness or Murphy's Irish Stout, being only slightly sweeter and thicker
in consistency :-)

I think I might like it.
