You're right, Josquin, the Georgian verbal system is quite alien. At least the case
system is much more straightforward. We don't have to worry about cases with dealing with numbers, for example, unlike in Gaelic and Russian. The number is just declined as an adjective followed by the noun in whenever case. As for the verbs themselves, there's pluripersonality and a high degree of variability regarding moods, like, the same tense may be used in a wide range of moods and it's a bit difficult to know exactly which tense to use in moods like subjunctive and conditional. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, that indeed sounds a bit scary. Georgian does fascinate me, so I might give it a shot some day, but at the moment, Gaelic and Japanese are more than enough.
Other than that: The Russian mail has finally managed to deliver the grammar book I ordered six and a half weeks ago! It's unbelievable! The next time I order something from Russia, I will order as many books at possible at the same time, so the wait (and the 10 € postage) will be worth it. So now, I'm the proud owner of Грамматика русского языка в упражнениях и комментариях. I hope the book was worth its money and the long wait. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"Когда навестил" значит "После того как навестил". Что такое "подкасты"? (Я не против этого слова, но не очень его понимаю). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Спасибо, как всегда очень полезно! Не могу объяснять "подкаст" на русском языке, поэтому напишу на английском.
A podcast is a series of audio clips about various themes that you can download from the Internet and listen to on your iPod, your MP3 player, or your computer. Usually, the script of the podcast is available, too, so you can read the text while listening, which is enormously useful for practising your oral comprehension and your pronunciation. The podcasts from Russian Podcast are about everyday topics, while Radio Эхо Москвы offers its regular broadcasts as podcasts. So I can practise my Russian with current texts about Russian society, politics, and so on. One question: What about the corrections in brackets? Are they optional? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, they are. The choice between не брал/не взял depends on whether you did it intentionaly or not. Or whether you hesitated about taking it. Thank you for the explanation of the word "podcast". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks so much, Woodsei! I'm glad you like my log. :)
Good to hear that it also inspires your own language studies! I think getting inspiration from your teammates is what the whole TAC thing is about, isn't it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Definitely! I had a Colloquial Russian drowning somewhere around my resource collection, and I'm thinking it isn't a bad idea at all to use some of these texts for furthering my Russian studies. So thanks for sharing your experiences, very useful! Keep it up :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
