That would be lovely, Mark, just be very gentle with us :-) I am practically hyperventilating at the thought of having a live bonafide Russian listening to anything Russian I try to say, and I suspect I am not alone.
We would really love to have you on board, though, and are very grateful that you are willing to help. Do you intend to set up your own language learning log and so become a full member of team Sputnik, or will you just come by as a friendly consultant? Kind regards Cristina 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When are we going to use that beautiful set of dialogues, Tecktight?

I had planned for 2.5 hours of solid Russian class today, and then the teacher got sick, so I ended up doing just my regular work.:-( As it turned out, that was a good thing, because the day became so chaotic, that I would still have been there had I gone to Russian class.
Tecktight - great dialogues! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't have much time to learn languages this spring, unfortunately, although I have
some plans and dreams. Edited by Марк on 08 February 2012 at 9:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

By comparing the dialogue's texts and audio there seems to be a couple of mistakes.
Dialogue 1 row 3: бодшой / большой. Dialogue 3 row 4: большое / большие. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you Dr, Fabricio, Cristina, Tecktight, Teango... well everyone! for your most warm welcome. I must confess I was quite afraid of subscribing to 30+ new threads: seeing how chatty things had been just in this team log (200+ messages? WTF?) I thought keeping up with everything here might suck more time from me than actual studying! After 48 hours I can say I'm reassured, if a bit disappointed (nah just kidding!), to see that's not the case -- I'll probably manage to 'waste' not much more time than usual here in the forum, while also getting some studying done... cool!
Now there's the task to read through all of the logs... uffff :) I remember when I was whiling away one morning at this friend's shop with his wife and she wrote a list of the members of the former USSR. When she got around fifteen I had a look and saw Romania and Bulgaria there and I was like 'uh-oh now do I tell her how wrong that is or what?' -- fortunately my friend came in just at the right moment and saved the day by telling her himself. Maybe she was listing the members of the Warsaw Pact or something... so, how many are we then? is everyone listed in the first post? What about Mapk? is zekecoma finally in? as the last -but hopefully not least- officially confirmed member of the team I thought I'd leave that for the seniors but nothing happened in these 48 hours... anyway... @Cristina dear, don't worry, I'm not afraid of speaking even if I usually hate doing it on the phone or similar. I totally overcome my shyness when I'm on any kind of 'mission' so I'm almost completely fluent in every language I've studied, within my limits. The problem is, these limits usually consist in knowing very little words and/or grammar, and I hate consciously speaking like a caveman. So I usually end up not talking much out of impossibility and frustration, or I switch to another language in which I just can say what I want to :) Skype: I'll give you all another 48 hours to 'befriend' me there before logging in again to confirm the links, contacts or whatever they're called. If there's anything more I should do about that, please anyone tell me now. As far as I am concerned, posting the dialogues for minimal practice here instead of emailing them seems just perfect to me. However, someone mentioned (not exactly-) matching audio. Where can I get it? Edited by mrwarper on 09 February 2012 at 12:20am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

We typically recite them at the beginning of each Skype session. I mean, that's what we did last time, so I assume we will continue to do that. In my Russian class, the professor had us memorize a dialogue and then recite it in front of the class. This way, certain useful phrases would just be drilled into us, and our minds could pull them up reflexively in "crisis" situations...i.e. when you're confronted by a native Russian and need something to say. I would propose we do the same with these dialogues. For example, we can structure it in the following way: Week 1 Skype Session: -Read first set of dialogues -Homework: Memorize one dialogue--you memorize the entire dialogue, but at the "test" you will read with a partner Week 2 Skype Session: -Test: Each person is partnered up with another person who did the same dialogue, and they recite the dialogue from memory. Native speaker or fellows will 'grade' -Read second set of dialogues -Continue rest of session with casual conversation. And so on, so forth. 1 person has voted this message useful |
