Learning Russian: tips of the day on I and hello

I am learning Russian daily with the help of free Duolingo.

Privet, starting with p, is like 'pleased to meet you', but shorter.  It's hello or hi.

Ya in Russian is not yes, as in German, but I.

You don't need am, just 'Ya Angela', I'm Angela. Remember that Y in Russian and Greek is an I.

Think of ya, ya, ya, I, yi, yi - I'm Angela.
