Thanks to Robert Brown and Dr. Nikolai Rokitianskiy, the Russian teachers at De Anza College, and Dr. Walter Schenk of San Jose State University, who first taught me Russian. Thanks also to Amelia Bellamy-Royds, who tested the updated version and pointed out several problems and things that needed improvement. Any mistakes in this tutorial are exclusively mine, not theirs.
