 Learning Russian has taught me a new language all about animals, music, science and famous Russian people, famous places in Russia, and Russian literature. Being able to read and sing in a new and different language has helped me with reading and singing in English and helps me power my mind to read and to help my voice be strong for singing. My Mom says that if I take Russian until I'm in high school, I will most likely have more places to go for college, because they need bilingual people. I might get a job being a teacher if I take lots of classes.
