I really like RWT so far. I'm starting to remember some verbal roots which I kept
confusing, mistaking one for another. The dialogues have only brought really useful vocabulary. I hope it lasts =D I like the recordings, they sound old, taken from vinil, and they are over pronounced, but yet it seems this couple is really professional when it comes to recording. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I don't know if it is the fact the book is old that leads to overpronouncing things, but
in the recordings I hear the guy pronounce the neuter ending for the adjectives in the nominative with a final "je" sound: masculine большой = bal'Soj neuter большое = bal'Soja Is it really like this? I always thought this final -е sound would be reduced to и and thus sound exactly like the masculine. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

No, it doesn't, the final e in большое reduces more to something like a schwa... it
sounds like bal-shoj-uh to me. With the "uh" sounding like a very faint afterthought. Edited by tarvos on 26 February 2013 at 1:53pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I'm not writing at this log often because I'm basically doing one Assimil lesson a day, from RWT. I also do Anki, the deck has the vocabulary from Assimil Le Russe from 2008, which will be my next book. I think I'm starting to retain a little more of the vocabulary, but I still don't know enough Russian for practicing Russian thoughr chatting without big efforts. I'd have to look up everything I'd write and right now I don't have the time for that, as I prefer to practice languages at which I feel more at ease, like French, Norwegian or even Georgian. Still, I'm taking my studies quite regularly, even though I'm aware I'd be progressing faster if I started taking lessons from a second textbook in parallel. But that's all time constraints and priorities. I hope that by the end of this TAC I'll be more confident as for broadening my usage field.

Lessons at RWT start to get a bit long. Still, I'm really enjoying the combo Assimil +
Anki and what it's been doing to my vocabulary. i'm learning almost no grammar consciously, but I think quite a few verbal forms and declensions stick to my mind at this process. I've come across the word виноват for "sorry", is it used nowadays? Is it more formal than извините and простите ? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

виноват means sorry or guilty I think, it's from вина = blame, guilt. In what sentence
did you see it? Простите means something more like "forgive me", and извинить is more like "to apologise". Edited by tarvos on 04 March 2013 at 4:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"Виноват" - это как-то по-военному.

Hey Expugnator,
how's Assimil working for you? Any problems concerning Russian? I hope everything's fine. Greetings from your teammate! 1 person has voted this message useful |
