I would like to learn to speak and read Russian. Does anyone know of a free and easy way to learn Russian? I would prefer to find online lessons, particular any mp3 podcasts or something of that sort that I can import into my Ipod . . . thanks!
by the way, I have a Russian girlfriend, hence the motivation to learn in a more formal way. We are both too busy, and live in different cities, so I have to find a way to learn on my own.
Thank you all for your suggestions. Many of your sources point to expensive materials, however. I should emphasize that I'm looking, if possible, for something FREE, and moving to Russia is neither free nor a feasible option for me right now. Thank you again for your suggestions so far. Keep 'em coming! :)

Why do two million Americans speak Russian?

Yesterday, I happened to see a sentence in my English textbook.
"There are also two million Russian speakers in the USA, including 600,000 in New York!" I was wondering why does Russian so popular in the US. Is there something to do with the large number of immigrants from Russia to America. But shouldn't it be Chinese?
In fact, I have began wondering it since I saw an advertisement slogan written in Russian in an American grocery in the movie"Wanted". So I want to ask Americans about my doubt.
Thank you!
