Pimsleur CD
The few Russian words and phrases I know I learned from Pimsleur's "Conversational Russian" CD. It has 16 30-minute lessons. I am working with Lesson 5 now.
I am learning some words and phrases so I don't want to call it a waste but the phrases are mostly "tourist" phrases for travel that don't have a place in normal conversation. I try to think of the words I know as I write things like this and I have not learned enough words from this CD that I could form any one of these sentences so far.
I think it is time for me to connect with one of the teachers on here.

Google Translate
How accurate have you found Google translations to be.
Is it reliable enough to write a letter in English and have Google translate the whole thing to Russian.
I was thinking about this as a tool for study and also for communication with a Russian-only speaker.

Time zones
I'm finding it difficult to connect with my language partners because of the time difference. Most of the time I am either working or sleeping when they are online.

Nervous
I am very nervous to try conversations with Russian speakers because I only know a few very basic words.
