One thing I would like to see is to be able to use the audio on all of the words in my word bank. If I open up one full page and want to listen to the words I can only listen to about half of the words on the page and the rest will not respond to the audio. I am pleased and use Russianpod everyday. I especially like the way the lessons are given in Russian and then translated. It really helps Russianpod is great.

But that is not a phrase to describe the way a person thinks or works, but just the way he moves. To describe a bright, sharp, quick-witted person, we usually use the word “сообразительный”. And a person who does everything in a quick and efficient way can be called “расторопный”. There`s another very popular word you can use about a fussy person, the one who does everything quickly but messy, tries to do a lot but the result is poor: “суетливый”. I wish this word wasn`t so popular in Russia :D You can say “быстрый, как пуля”, fast like a bullet (just like in English).
