Is it pronounced with an [e]? Maybe some Russians do not know that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, I guess the 'ea' makes people think it sounds like 'и'. That makes sense. Thanks!

I just discovered the FSI course for Russian! Took me long enough, I know...Anyway, I
have only listened to a little of it, but it seems useful enough. I'll definitely keep that bookmarked. On a different note, I realized that I have way too many Russian resources that I hardly ever use, so I am going to try and start taking advantage of them. The reason I don't use them is because I have so many that it is overwhelming, so I never know where to start. When I do use them, I feel like I am just jumping around randomly and it feels very disorganized, so I never develop the habit of using them in any meaningful way. This is probably because I am used to studying Georgian, for which I use any material I can get my hands on. Resources are pretty scarce for that language, at least compared to Russian.

I used to have the same problem with collecting resources and not using them. It lasted for 12 years. It was stronger with Russian and German because these are vocabulary-intensive and have plenty of resources, so I just shifted from one book to another and I thought I'd recover from vocabulary burnout. It only changed when I decided, last year, I'd learn a bit each day with what I already had. I wish I had had this feeling "use any material I can get" before, with Georgian, for example. Anyway, now it's over and I try to keep discipline and to finish books. Good luck zecchino!

My dad got me this at the DMV:
Not the most exciting read in the world, and I can't understand most of it, but it's still interesting. It has ads in it that I can kind of understand. Edited by zecchino1991 on 05 April 2013 at 11:47pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I made a map of the places my mom and I want to go on our trip. We will probably have
to exclude a couple of these places, because we are also going to Israel and possibly Azerbaijan and/or Armenia. The reason we are going on this trip is because my mother wants to see the towns where her grandmother grew up. Problem is, her grandmother moved around quite a lot! She was born in Orenburg and then, from what I understand, went to the North Caucasus (Grozny and Stavropol Krai), and ultimately to Odessa. And I always hear things about Georgia, so I guess she managed to end up there as well. So I'm not quite sure which place to give precedence to, since I have no way of knowing where she lived the longest. So we will try and go to as many of them as possible, but of course traveling in the Caucasus can be problematic... Anyway, here is the map I made: 
I don't know where we're going to go first or what our itinerary will be. I'm going to have to do a lot of research on that! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have just started studying Georgian from a Russian book, and I have learned a lot of
Russian grammatical terms. The book I study Russian from at school explains all the grammar in English, so until now I didn't even know words like "verb"! All I really knew before was падеж (case). That is why I am going to keep a list here of important terms I learn (both grammatical terminology as well as words that seem like they would be used often in textbooks) for future reference. вспомогательный глагол - auxiliary verb глагол - verb гласный - vowel единственное число - singular заменять - to replace заметьте - note лицо - person местоимение - pronoun множественное число - plural настоящее время - present tense неодушевленный -inanimate одушевленный - animate опускаться - to be dropped (i.e. omitted) основа - root (of verb) отдельно - separately, by itself подразумеваться - to mean правило - rule предыдущий - previous прибавляться к - to be added to (something) происходить - to occur раздел - section согласный - consonant сокращаться - to be shortened спрягаться - to be conjugated спряжение - conjugation употребляться - to be used Edited by zecchino1991 on 13 April 2013 at 6:05am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have been updating about the new Georgian book I'm using on my Georgian log, but I
guess I should update about it here too since I've been learning more Russian from it than Georgian so far. Although the book has a lot of example sentences, which I love, I am actually learning more vocabulary from reading the explanations in Russian. They repeat the same words a lot so it's no problem to remember them. It's also easy to understand them from the context. I just finished lesson 3, but I think to be on schedule I need to do lesson 4 today also. So I will get on that, but I need a break! (And I have a song stuck in my head and it's driving me insane...!!) :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
