Well, this most certainly is not Shakespeare, but here is my humble try at doing the June challenge, with a
heap of corrections from my teacher. Анна Каренина Анна Каренина была замужем за Алексеем Александровичем Карениным. Он был очень холодным человеком , и она не была счастлива. Анна познакомилась с Вронским - молодым, красивым офицером, и она оставила мужа из-за своей любви к Вронскому. Каренин был очень зол на Анну и запретил ей встречаться с ее сыном. Он сказал сыну, что его мама умерла. К сожалению, российское общество в то время не принимало, если женщины жили с мужчинами, за которыми не были замужем, и Анна снова не была счастлива. Вронский мог быть в обществе, но для Анны это было очень трудно. Анна была так несчастлива, что в один день она бросилась под поезд и погибла. Этот роман Льва Толстого, по моему мнению, один из лучших романов нашей цивилизации. Я очень рекомендую всем прочитать этот роман. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

"Язык и грамматику" sounds a bit like "trees and birches" in my mind. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for your contributions to the June Challenge. It has been successfully completed by:
chokofingrz Josquin milesaway Solfrid Cristin I have been terribly busy during the last few days, so I can hardly think about languages and I'm wildly unimaginative as far as the July Challenge is concerned. Would you be okay with the following? JULY CHALLENGE Please explain why you are studying Russian - in Russian! What are your reasons and goals and what motivates you? If anybody has a better idea, please spill it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's been very quiet in here this month. Here's a July Challenge to keep the thread alive.
Почему я изучаю русский язык? Честно говоря, я не знаю точно почему. Русский язык долго мне интересовал. У моего отца есть несколько русских книг, и он тоже русском выучил молодым человеком. Может быть, я хочу доказать ему, что я тоже способен. Русский язык считается сложный и трудный. Я хочу произвести впечатление на всех, которые меня знают. Кроме того, мне также чуть-чуть интересует русская литература (как говорят столько люди). Было бы классно, если бы я умел читать работы Чехова, Пушкина и Гогола в оригинальной форме. Если русская литература мне слишкон тяжёлая, я доволен смотреть классические советские и современные русскые фильмы, и уметь понимать диалоги Тарковскии, Михалкова и Звягинцева. Я надеюсь, однажди смогу ездить в отпуск в России, и говорить/писать правильно! Suggestions/corrections welcome! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good work! Cursive forms are optional and those suggested by me, perhaps, used more often, but the other way isn't a mistake. Edited by Via Diva on 20 July 2014 at 2:29am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

And here is my humble try at explaining why I do Russian:
Я изучаю русский язык потому что это мне нужно для моей работы и потому что у меня есть друзья в Украине которые не говорят по-английски или по-французски. Сначала мне было очень трудно, но сейчас, после долгого времени, это немножко лучше. Мне очен нравится смотреть фильмы или читать книги по-русски. По-моему, русский очень красивый и практичный язык. Когда человек понимает русский язык, он тоже может частично понимать польский, украинский и хорватский языки. Меня мотивирует то что сейчас я могу говорить с людьми которые толка говорят по-русски , и что могу читать русские книги. Suggestions or corrections are most welcome :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

@ Via Diva: Thank you! It is great getting corrections.
I was browsing the net this morning (ok. I know it is 5 in the morning but the rain woke me up) for a list of the Russian "must read novels". I came across this one, which seems to contain most of the important/famous ones. Now of course 20 books are not all that many, but on the other hand if you have read 20 of the most important books in a language, you are probably more well read than most foreigners. GREAT RUSSIAN NOVELS So my questions are the following: (And these go to all readers of this thread, not just the team members): 1. Are there important works missing from this list that you would have liked to include? 2. Are there works you think should have been excluded? 3. Have you read any of these yourself? 4. Of the ones you have read/seen, which one did you like best? If I am very generous with the definitions, I have read/seen 6 of these. 1 I read 'Anna Karenina' when I was 13, and although I felt Vronskij was an idiot and Karenin a cold hearted bastard, I otherwise enjoyed the book. 2. I heard an extract from 'One day in the life of Ivan Denisovitch' when I was 15, and of all unlikely things, the one thing I remember from that, was his musings over bread, and how some of the others were longing for white bread, but that he had settled for longing for black bread. I really look forward to reading the whole book through the eyes of an adult. 3 I have seen 'Dr. Zhivago' (the original English version with Omar Sharif -swoon- ) and it is hard not to be moved by the story and the music of that film. I have also seen the first two episodes of the Russian version, which predictably is a much rawer and more brutal version. Hollywood and Russian Realism are two very different beasts. 4. In my late twenties I read 'The Master and Margerita' which a friend warmly recommended, but did not enjoy or understand it. I'll try it again now that I am more mature. 5 I also read 'Crime and Punishment' a few years ago, and although my heart was bleeding for one of the characters, (Raskolnikov's girlfriend), I could totally see why this was considered one of the most important works not just in Russian literature, but in world literature. 6 Then finally last year, I saw the film 'War and Peace' -or at least part of it - and I loved it. This was the first one I saw in Russian, so there was so much I did not understand, but I look forward to seeing the rest of the film, and I'll do it from the beginning, to see it in one sitting (which will have to happen a day no one else is here, as it lasts for 7 hours). I was a bit surprised that 'Eugene Onegin' was not on the list, but I assume that this is because it was written in verse, and cannot be categorized as a novel, so it is a matter of genre, and not importance.
