Interesting plan on Russian. I should work with it too, but I'm worried
about grammar more than about rare words...

My love for rare words is more of a guilty pleasure than desire to improve my languages.
While I might dedicate a bit of time in the future to further my study of Russian and English grammar, it's neither a priority, nor is it particularly enjoyable for me. I might get to it if and when I decide to wanderlust into Church Slavonic or Old English.
In all other respects, I feel like my command of Russian and English grammar is more than adequate just from studying it at school and reading a whole lot in both languages.
I can send you my master list of those 10 Russian dictionaries if you're really interested, but keep in mind it's originally over 275,000 entry words and can be intimidating, unless you feel comfortable just whacking at it a little each day for a few years.
Alternatively you can just take any one of those dictionaries and just browse through it.
Словарь Даля (40k) если тебе интересны старые слова, или например словарь Ефремовой (120k) для современных слов.

I've been trying to refresh all 3 of my focus languages ES/FR/DE. So I could get into some kind of routine. A bit frantic with the new year's and all.
Since Spanish is by far strongest of the 3, I've been considering reading another book or parallel text and downloading some TV for it.
I've been pondering the idea of making a parallel text for HPMOR for En-ES/FR/DE. I might start with ES first, then get into it with FR and then DE once I review them enough to feel confident about doing so.
UA: Digging through Ilya Frank's website for a parallel book that I could try reading. And trying to find a good grammar source that would capitalize on my Russian instead of starting at nil.
Happy New Year, everyone!
