How to learn Russian*

Here's a few easy steps for you to be on your way to the Russian language!

Step 1: Carpool a ride with all Russian musicians, no other language spoken; listen to conversation during the 3 hour ride to and fro.

Step 2
: Repeat Step 1 six times a week for two weeks.

Step 3
: Pretend to smoke a cigarette (those of you who are smokers, please feel free to light up); converse in said Russian with smoke billowing out of your mouth, seems to help.

Step 4: Wear this hat.

Step 5: Speak!

*this post is in no way intended to be a racist quip on all Russians out there - this is how I learned a language.
