Starting this month I’ll be sharing tips on learning languages to help keep you motivated and progressing. This month I’ll teach you how to THINK in another language. It’s not nearly as difficult as it sounds so don’t give up right away; try out these 3 simple study “hacks” in your daily life. Write vocabulary on post-it notes that you can place around your home. When it’s time to brush your teeth or when you look in the mirror, you’ll seef the word for “mirror” or “toothbrush” in the target language each time, building a strong visual association with the word through repetition. Schedule your day in your target language. Instead of writing “Groceries at 5pm on 6/29/2010″ write it how a native speaker would and in their time and date format. Feeling comfortable with appointments in your second language will make social meetups easier and prepare you for business too! Count in the language. Doing pushups? Counting your stacks of cash? Doing anything else with numbers? Use the language at these times and recalling numbers will be as natural as tying your shoes! Try these out and report back in the forums or give us a shout out on our Facebook page to let us know if you try it. Peter Galante 2. The Perks of Being a Founding Father!

Russia Day (День России Den Rossii) is a holiday, somewhat similar to independence day, celebrated on June 12. On this day, in 1990, Russian parliament formally declared Russian sovereignty over Russia (RSFSR). The holiday was officially established in 1992. Initially it was named Day of the Adoption of the Declaration of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation, but since that is a mouthful, on 1 February 2002 it was officially renamed to Russia Day. There exist a misconception in Russian society, that this holiday also called Russia Independence Day, but it never had such a name in official documents. According to a 2009 survey, 44% of the respondents named the holiday as Independence Day of Russia. 4. The Ultimate Getting Started Russian Deal not to Pass Up!
