 Learning Russian has taught me that me that I can get better grades because most people say that if you learn a 2nd language, you can get better grades, and the 2nd language is a cool experience because most kids don’t get to do it. When you learn a 2nd language, you get to do cool stuff like go to Russian Art and do speeches in Russian. If I keep doing this, like into high school, I will know a lot more, and get A’s all the time. If I get better grades, I can go to college and get a degree for a good job and be a veterinarian or a doctor.
