To start later is like trying to build a house from the roof down. Second. no progress will be made until we back the classroom teachers of Russian (and of foreign languages generally). Few state school boards or teachers colleges value fluency in a foreign language and the ability to teach it. As a result. many of those who know Russian bestincluding recent immigrants from the USSRcannot easily become certified to teach. while those with the necessary certification all too often lack the requisite fluency. Without a larger group of Russian language teachers. President Reagans dream can never become a reality.
