I've started learning Russian and I think it is a great language that you should have a go at learning. It's really fun (don't be put off by having to learn a new alphabet!).

Even if your school doesn't teach Russian then why not try learning on Linguascope or Dualingo in your free time. These open up lots of opportunities in the future if you decide to take the language further, or it can just be something fun to impress your family with!
