I just got a part time job offer to help this girl learn Russian. She was adopted by an American family when she was 8 and was speaking Russian fluently, now she is 15 and barely remembers it. I want to teach her how to speak again but more importantly I want her to have the tools to continue using her Russian language throughout her life. I want to know if anyone has any good ideas of how someone can continue to converse in their Native language when they do not have family or friends that speak it anymore?

Is there specific data on the number of people who can speak it?
Thanks.
