Today I managed to study a bit even though it's not a workday for me. So, I came across
this sentence at RWT lesson 8:

я ее больше не люблю.

Is it the most common way of saying "not..anymore"? The proper, non-literal translation
says "I like her no more" (you know, even the supposedly non-literal English doesn't
sound that natural to me).

It doesn't have to sound good in English to sound good in Russian. ;)
By the way I have a story to tell you in Georgian. I'll post it in my log later today (axla saxlshi ara var!) :D Or
maybe I'll write it in Russian...;)

I had better you wrote it in Georgian ;) My Georgian is still better than my Russian (not
that it means anything at all).

Today I studied lesson 10 of RWT. Time to slow down for one lesson a day, as it's getting harder.

I came across this sentence that sounds a bit dated to my ears of a beginner:

знаете-ли вы, болен-ли он еще ?

Is it how people would naturally ask "Do you know if he's still ill?" ?

I'm reading the lesson from RWT previously at home these days, as I am less busy. I read the text and the notes (the most boring part of Assimil courses). Then during my study hour I listen to the text and do the exercises. Things seem much easier and nicer this way. I don't think I'm "cheating", I think I'm rather taking the chance to read the same text twice instead of only once, and thus favoring understanding.

I just finished reading review lesson 14. My learning process for Russian moving up quite slow, I must admit, when compared to other languages, but I hope it will speed up when I start the Georgian textbook in Russian.

Lessons are still a bit easy (and quick, which is what I like the most).As I wrote at the Assimil Experiment Log, RWT is indeed functioning as another active wave for Il nuovo Italiano senza sforzo. I realize that Russian is the language I'm paying the least attention to now. It's the one I'm less advanced at, anyway, but it's not being neglected. It's just not getting the extra practice Norwegian and Georgian are, like chatting with native speakers. Having finished one Assimil, I feel far from comfortable to try having a conversation even if I use an online translator. It takes too long to figure out how to say stuff.
