I had my first Russian language lesson today with Ira. I think every Russian woman I know is named Ira. I think my host family tried to call me Ira when I lived in Moscow.
I am a little bit iffy about Teacher Ira-not sure about her teaching methods. In the event I didn't pronounce a word correctly she would repeat the word, and then I would repeat the word, and she would say NO and then repeat the word louder. She would get louder and louder until finally I just sighed and she decided we had to move onto the next word. Not sure if "screaming" is the top teaching method of the year. Perhaps I should think about taking sign language lessons.
