Learning to Read and speak Russian?

I'm learning Russian but have heard that some people only know how to speak it but can not read it. My main goal is to speak it understand when it's spoken. Should I learn to read Russian and speak it? What's easier best when learning Russian language?
For ex, if I only know it written in English...Preevyet rather than Preevyet written in Russian letters.
My husband's from Russia, so this is why I'm learning language.
Oh I don't need to hear ridiculous statements about Russian men or Russia....been with my hubby for 10 years happy and he hates vodka...get the picture. Thanks!

Best way to learn Russian after losing it?

I moved from Russia when I was 5 years old and have kept it for years afterwards, but once high school started and I didn't have many Russian friends left to practice it with I began to forget it. Now I'm 18 and would like to improve my Russian, what do you think is the best way to do so?

Thanks,

Learning to read, write and speak in Russian…?

Okay, my husband is Russian (born in Russia and lived there until he was 9 years old, then moved to Brooklyn NY) and I really want to learn how to speak Russian! I need to learn how to speak Russian! My mother-in-law speaks English, but doesn't like to, and my husband's grandmother, who he is very close with, doesn't speak English at all! Not to mention, when we have children it is extremely important to me for them to be able to learn Russian and English starting at a young age. I love the Russian culture, I love Russian food, the music, the language, the people in general, etc. And I want our children to know all about where their dad (and his side of the family) is from, and their culture.

So, I can actually understand a decent amount of Russian (I've been around it for 4 years). I don't understand enough though! I can catch enough words when someone is speaking Russian to know basically what they are talking about. And I can say really simple things in Russian like, thank you, please, I love you, wife, yes, no, home, money, hello, good bye, good, left, right, straight, sit, a few bad words, etc. I have also memorized the Russian alphabet. I feel stupid saying Russian words though because I feel like I don't say them right, and I think that's one of my biggest problems. It's not like I'm just learning Russian and I'm not ever really going to use it, I'm around more people that are from Russia than not, so nothing I say is going to sound right!

Okay, so now that I have written a novel for what should have been just a simple question, I need to know Russian words and phrases that I will use a lot. I guess things that are commonly said. I have looked all over the internet and have found some good stuff, but it's all online lessons, and I need something I can print out. I don't need online lessons, I have a Russian husband to help me pronounce things if I need help, but I need to be able to learn whatever I can on my own so I'm not bothering my husband constantly. So, if you know of any websites that have commonly used, need-to-know, but not too complicated, Russian words, phrases, sentences, etc, please post the link for me. It also needs to be something that is set up where I can print it out. Or, I guess if you are Russian or speak Russian, can you think of any words, phrases, sentences that I would need to know (as a beginner) that you could tell me on here? If so, I'd need you to write it in Russian and in English though please.

Okay, sorry this was so long, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to write in a Russian accent?

One of my characters is an immigrant from Russia. She's a maid for a rich family in Dallas, TX. I really want to capture the accent and pronunciation in her voice. How would I write that? She speaks fluent English, but she still has a fluent, lingering accent.

I didn't see it last night but on last week's episode, where they all went out for Daniel's b-day and got called into a secret interrogation room, he claimed he speaks 5 languages and some lady asked him in Russian "do you speak Russian?" and he was stumbling and making excuses. What the hell? How does he have an accent if he doesn't speak Russian? Do you think the show is fake and he is a paid actor?
If his parents are from Russia, then they would speak Russian at home and he would learn it, too!

resume, calling herself a Russian expert to get the job of Sect of State. President Putin has called Condi completely illiterate in Russian. She has even been accused of purchasing her own papers for college to obtain her Doctorate. It's a fact! She can't read or write in Russian. Putin was offended by Condi and asked her not to come back to Russia. Why does this not bother Bush
when his Sect of State lies blatantly? PS She can't speak Spanish at all either and that's on her resume too.. What's wrong with Bush why doesn't he care about her incompetency and blatant lying?

I really want to apply to a performing arts school in Russia, like the Moscow Theatre Art School, but many of the programs I have looked into require that you fluently speak Russian. I've been learning for a couple of months now but I want to take a year or two actually learning the language in Russia. What are some reputable language schools/programs there? It doesn't even have to be a language school specifically, if there is a Russian language program for English speakers at Moscow State University or a Russian college, that would be great too. Thanks!

When I learned English (as my second language) as a child, I had to learn how to write the alphabet in cursive. And even though many teachers prefer cursive writing, I never do it. I am currently learning Russian and I can't stand the way my professor writes the cyrillic alphabet in cursive. So, I was wondering... is it common for people in Russia (despite their early learning of writing in cursive) to hand write things in block letters?
