Russian
I've had the full course русский язык для всех since forever. I will use this to study russian. As a beginner's course, I think it is very good. I might as well use it.
I have already done the calligraphy drills, just to get back on track.

French
I haven't started studying french yet (Italian is still on), but I want to decide which course to follow.
I am not a beginner in French, but I feel I have many gaps in my knowledge. So, I am not sure which course to study.
I was thinking assimil, and if I know some things fine, then I will go faster. But is this a good idea? I also had FSI in mind. I am not sure what to do. MT will definitely happen, but I need to write as well.
There are some old books I have found online, conversation, composition, drills etc, that I like. Maybe I will finish assimil and then go straight for native material only.
With Turkish and Russian I have already decided on textbooks.
I have to stay with whatever I decide, because 2013 was the year of constantly changing courses. As you can imagine that didn't help at all. At least I can profit this year from that experience.

I have been watching on youtube a tv series called L'ombre d'un doute. They are documentaries in french about well known historical subjects, that are not exactly as we know them. It's interesting, it's in french, so if you like history and french... buyrun!

I watched Molière again after some years and loved it (again). Anyway, it was great practice. I kept missing things of course, but I never missed the meaning or what was being said.
I suggest that you watch a documentary on him first, to get the inside jokes etc, of the movie.
