I’m very interested in Russian as a language and Russian history. How would you suggest I learn more?

I'll be going to college next year and taking a language and history class, but if anyone knows any other opportunities to learn Russian faster (I hear the Rosetta Stone programs are good) and especially to visit Russia, please let me know. Are there any summer camps where I could work, or internships for Americans? I won't begin learning the language until January, so I certainly won't be that good.

Well, living in Russia is relatively cheap (unless you go to Moscow). If you have some money saved, it is definitely possible to just come over as a tourist for a few weeks and hire a local english-language student as a tutor. You should also plan on studying a semester abroad. It is not possible for non-Russians to work in summer camps or do internships in Russia. (Russians do not have summer camps as the Americans do.) But you could look at Au-Pair work. There are bound to be rich Russians looking for native speakers of English to watch their kids.
@Ernie: I speak both Russian and Arabic apart from English and German (my native language), hasn’t landed me a job yet. So I suggest learning whichever language you enjoy, because without real passion for and a zeal to master it you will get nowhere when learning another language.
Русский язык очень трудн для того чтобы схватить в одном годе, пытается языки Ближнего Востока, они изыскиватьле поже для перевода и больше положений необходимы.
So about cheap prices is lie,In all cities prices grew up on food on 40%-70% per October,After Feb it will be again grow up in twice,so Milk price is 1.5 $ per a litter,after Feb 2$ per a litter or highyer,hot-dog 80 cents,bread 60 cents in my region and 1 $ in Moscow….so if you want practise language as rules of letters or another grammer stuff you can note to my email….10 Eggs cost 1.5-2 $…
Try to find a pen-pal from Russia. Read books by Russian authors, adapted of course. Watch good Russian movies, read Russian papers. When you come to Russia try to find a school teaching Russian as a foreign language.
Good luck!
There is a Russian site which translates texts from Russian on other languages and back!
It can to you help!

Find a russian pen-pal.
Read russian books.
Visiting the country is always the best bet!
It’s the easiest, most interesting way to learn, and you can’t NOT learn when you’re there. You also get a good idea of customs, and accent, and slang and things like that.
Best of luck
