Also, I forgot to mention that I found two great websites for finding language partners.
1. sharedtalk.com
This one is put out by Rosetta Stone, but it's a great way to connect with people who speak your target language.
There are always people online, which is the best part, and not only that, but there are instant messenger
and voice-chat systems built-in to the website.
Specific to Russian is the following:
2. http://masterrussian.com/blpenpal.php
I've already found and Skype'd with two Russians so far. It was super interesting/helpful. The basic deal, usually,
is that you help Person X with whatever language they are learning (usually English), and they help you with
Russian, in turn. Highly recommended!!

Okay, I'm a bit confused about the 6WC for Feb. Where, exactly, do I sign up? The only thread by SprachProfi I found
was the Accelerated Finnish one. Also, I thought the 6WC was for new languages only?

To participate in the 6WC and have the bot keep track of your study hours, you need to have an acount on twitter, first of all. If you don't want the bot to keep track, I guess you just post in the February 6WC thread.
The whole thing is here: http://6wc.learnlangs.com/howto

In the beginning I think you needed to chose a brand new language, but now it is ok. if you are a weak B1 or lower.

6WC? Oops, I missed that. Is it too late to join? I'm focusing on Japanese at the moment,
but I'm also doing Russian in tiny bites. I'll pick one, but where do I register?
