No ohio, lol I study russian at OSU. P.S. there is also a way to send private comments to each other so that it doesn’t detract from your original question.
Feel like this could very well be a repeat question, but here’s a tip for you: Underline important things while you’re reading. Then look at that underlined phrase and reword it in your mind in your own words. Not only does it help you absorb the material better because you’re processing it as semantic memory but the underlining helps you when you’re reviewing – you can go back and just read what’s underlined instead of trying to read all the text.
