Hey Marina, now for the rest of your questions:
So, what's your reason to study Russian? I was very excited by the idea of "Russia the awakening giant" when the Soviets were replaced, and all those clever but impoverished people (you lot!) bursting out to the international scene, with energy, fashion, cleverness, culture, intelligence etc etc. When I travelled to Izhevsk, Perm, Ekaterinburg, Volgograd, St Petes, Krasnodar and Moscow I felt very enthusiastic about the opportunities for your country. So I just thought it would e fun to try and learn to speak! What do you find the most difficult in this language? I find two things very hard: First the slight but important differences in the vowels, from the way we say them. Secondly I am really slow to process and retrieve the words I need from my memory when trying to make a sentence. Can you write in Cyrillic on your computer? Not sure - I will check. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Marina, lastly some corrections:
You said: "Look, I am to translate a kind of dialog." This is wrong, you could say: I am supposed to translate a kind of dialog, or better: "I've got to translate..." second mistake: You said: "P.s. Could you correct me, If I did any mistake in writing above". should have said: If I have made any mistakes in the above writing. Or: If there any mistakes in the above writing. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ken, thank you very much for your remarks and corrections. That was really helpful. That text was given in my university, and I don’t know who had made it, may be our teacher :) Yes, I saw the name of the song "Made in the shade" in the internet, but I could not understand. Unfortunately American English is more popular nowadays even in our university.
Don’t you mind if we will correspond on weekends, because I’m usually busy the whole day from Monday till Friday. Anyway you can ask anything during a week. It would be better if you had Cyrillic at your comp. If you have it, write smth in Russian, about yourself or about anything you like. Just a few sentences. I will think what we can do with your Russian Bye for now. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hi Marina, yes I have cyrillic.
Unfortunately the two ways I am learning both follow the principle that one should start as a child does: by ear. Later one starts looking at the letters, learning them first and then starting to spell. I am really at about the same standard as a child of 18 months ! Anyway, here is a sentence just to test if it works: лщьзгеук тэкщищкефуею нф пщмукмг зфкгыылш тшьтщпф I imagine that that was terrible? Best! Ken PS. I will wait until weekends. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Как долго вы изучали английский язык? Учишься ли ты какой-либо другой язык? У меня есть друг, который Украинское говорит на русском, и он говорит на испанском очень хорошо. Он живет здесь в течение четырех лет. Edited by slucido on 21 December 2010 at 11:30pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

У тебя хороший русский! Тебе повезло, что у тебя есть друг, который говорит по русски. Давай я поправлю кое-что: "У меня есть друг из Украины или У меня есть друг, он Украинец." Далее все правильно. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hello Ken and Alberto. Merry Christmas!
Ken, I still don’t know how your Russian is, because you have not written me any sentence in Russian. The most difficult thing in English is to learn Tenses. In Russian first of all it’s conjugation of verbs according to a gender of a noun and of course declension of nouns according to case. These are two bases of Russian language. Let’s try this: Infinitive of some verbs: ending "ть" means "to" and shows infinitive and for ex. работа is a root 1)работать [rabotat’]- to work 2)жить [zhit’]- to live 3)ходить [hodit’]-to walk 4) ездить [ezdit’]-to go (by car, bus, etc) 5)(иметь [eemet’] - to have )= (есть [est’]- is more preferable –it means to have, there is/are Я имею [Ya eemeu] = У меня есть[oo menia est’]- is more preferable – I have= there is no such construction in English- translation word by word: At me there is there is/are at me/ at my place) Пример [preemer] – an example: У меня есть собака – I have a dog Местоимения [mestoeemeneeya]: Я – I Ты- You (old English - thou (If I'm not mistaken, it's close to Russian ты)) Он – He Она – She Оно - It Мы – We Вы – You Они – They Спряжение глаголов по лицам(conjugation of verbs): Работать: Я работаю Ты работаешь Он Она –работает Оно Вы работаете Они работают Пример [primer] – an example: Я работаю в компании/ на фабрике- I work at(in) a company/ at a factory Задание[zadanie] – Exercise – Try to conjugate all verbs yourselfЖить: Я живу Ты живешь ?… Ходить: Я хожу Ты ? Он Она ходит Оно ?... Ездить: Я езжу Ты ? ? and so on 1 person has voted this message useful |
