Привет!

My name is Steven. I am 24-years old and am a lawyer living in Auckland, New Zealand.
For those of you who don't know, New Zealand is a small island nation next to
Australia in the Pacific, home to the indigenous Maori people, with an increasingly
multi-cultural population base. Auckland is the largest metropolitan city and home to
approximately 1.4 million people.

I have joined the TAC 2015 challenge to learn as much Russian as possible this year.
We don't get a lot of Russian people here in Auckland (although I am sure there are
some), but nonetheless I believe it to be beautiful language and am keen to meet and
engage with Russian speakers and hopefully travel there one day. I also understand
(although I don't know this too well, yet) that there are a lot of great literature
works written in Russian and am interested to see what that is all about.

So as of today, I am an absolute beginner. I have not learnt any Russian words except
hello (Привет), although admit I have spent some time going through a video that
teaches the cyrillic alphabet. Apart from Russian, I have learnt Japanese to an
intermediate level and am beginning to learn German as well. My goal is to focus on
Russian this year, whilst learning Kanji for Japanese and the basics of German.

Over the next couple days my plan is to organise my resources and report back with a
plan on how I see things going from here. Best of luck to all the other learners in
our journey in taking the TAC 2015 challenge :)
