You easily have enough words in your vocabulary to be using your Russian. I suggest you go to a site like www.kantalk.com and start communicating with some-one. Or, if you aren't interested in doing that, get some easy readers or simplified versions of books in Russian and read them.

Well thanks for the encouragement, but I’m going to pass. I probably could make an attempt at speaking, and I could definitely be ready for some light reading with a few weeks, however I still don’t have a strong understanding of spoken Russian yet. Without that to stand on too much English will be called up as mortar for the bricks. I don’t want to be doing that, the mind gets into habits too easily. And even if I wanted too I couldn’t change, my Tier 1 goals have already been set, deviation is impossible. Edited by Brian_N on 17 May 2009 at 5:03pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Always Somethin....
Rrrrrr, stupid long weekend. Normally my auntie-in-law should be at work today, but thanks to the long weekend she’s sitting here blasting her shitty music on her crappy laptop and annoying the hell out of me with her voice. As if listening to the 35 year old uncle who wastes his days away playing computer games and complain that people who work 12 hr days “have no life”, wasn’t enough. I have to ditch my auntie, she’s screwing with my Russian. How to do this...um, since she’s here to use the internet, logic would dictate that the worse the wireless works...the sooner she’ll leave....soooo, it’s time to crash the internet....Uploading of 200 music videos from youtube commencing now....hopefully she’ll leave soon. ***This post may sound antisocial...Lol that’s because it is. If one wants to get things done, then one has to “make time” to get it done. If you just “look for time” you’ll never find it, and you’ll be one of those yapping off “not enough hours in one day” like a parrot. My methods may be...antisocial at times, but they are effective and they are even served with a smile on my face...haha little do they know lol.*** Edited by Brian_N on 19 May 2009 at 1:54am 1 person has voted this message useful |
