Well, the first step has been to learn how to write Italian in Cyrillic :D
There are some letter that don't occur very often in Italian but I put them under review in
memrise.

If you still want to scratch the Romanian itch, why not start learning Russian using a course meant for Romanians? (look under "limba rusa")

Well, I agree that Romanian isn't the best choice if your real goal are the Slavic
languages. Russian is a nice one and I wish you lots of success and fun. :-)

I sincerely cannot wait to start.
But I'm not studying a lot my other languages so the start of this project can delay.
And I still have an endless queue of languages that I cannot start in addition (but this is another story).

Maybe @Serpent sees in the future :)
She told me that the more I delay the start of the project the less probable makes it to
actually take place. Now I feel the need to delay again.

I bought 3 resources (1 for Dutch, Spanish and French) and I guess that it's better to go
through them before to buy other resources and putting more effort in a new target
language.

Aww, no, I've just seen many learners on HTLAL over the years. If you feel the need to narrow it down to 3-5 languages (those you mentioned +English and... Lithuanian?), by all means, go for it. These are immediately useful for you (well, not Lithuanian :P), so if you keep that up you can surpass me in a year or two ;) (although my Spanish and Italian will also be at basic fluency sooner or later)

Basically, if you don't feel a scorching need for Russian, maybe it's better to continue working on your main three langs. Russian will be a huge commitment and you may feel like you're going nowhere, until suddenly you're somewhere :)

However, there will always be one more resource, book, podcast, whatever. Don't aim to "finish everything". Don't start a new language if you're not sure you want it, but don't be afraid of starting either.
