Thanks! I knew I was sufficiently confused that I couldn't tell for sure what I was writing, just that I'd seen a whole mess of different forms for the word "ear." And indeed, I WAS just reading about Fred and George with their Extendable Ears! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Per our discussion elsewhere, it looks like this is the same Russian text as the 2011 English base that I have (Original Text by Victoria Melnikova-Suchet). Lesson 51: на вкус и цвет товарищей нет! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"на вкус и цвет товарищей нет" - On taste and colour, comrades no. Or "Tastes differ"
I hope that's right. It's from Assimil, 50ish. I like this because it feels internalized, I feel the same way as I do with saying something similar in English. "международный" is a word you can figure out if you know "между" and "родина", I'm a simple man and it makes me feel smart to figure out new words from previous ones :-) обстановка, осторожно, остановка - situation, careful, stop (as in bus stop, as I remember). They all remind me of eachother. You simple can't not remember "осторожно" if you've been in the metro. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I was happy today to stumble across a couple of cognates from non-English languages familiar to me:
библиотека (same as library in Spanish) бутерброд (same as sandwich in German) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If all it takes is just a single word a day, then that’s the kind of baby steps I like. So here’s my contribution. I’ve just learnt it today, but (garden-enthusiast) you probably already know it. цветок = flower 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Today I’ve met again a verb that I first found in the second unit of TY. I didn’t memorize it then, but now I hope it will stick!
