I just went over a little bit of chapter 6 in TY Russian. I listened to the first
dialogue, and I understood most of it without looking at the glossary. I learned the difference between playing a game/sport and playing an instrument (for instruments you use на and for games, в+accusative). I also learned an interesting construction dative+пора+infinitive, for example, "Володе пора идти." It's not much, but like they say in Hebrew, le'at le'at! (little by little). :) Update: Now I am going over a book I have called Gruzinskii yazik c mamoi. It's a book for mothers who want to speak Georgian to their children. I got it to learn Georgian, obviously, but I think I learn just as much Russian from it, if not more! Edited by zecchino1991 on 04 January 2013 at 3:08am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Well, I didn't do much as far as Russian goes today...I was in a Georgian/Hebrew kind of
mood. :) All I did was go through the glossary of TY Russian and practice pronouncing the words and take note of any that I didn't know/thought were important. I also watched a video from Russian for Free. An important word I learned (from both the video and the TY book) was взрослый (adult), and some interesting ones: беременная (pregnant) and инопланетянин (alien)! That last one goes well with the movie I watched yesterday (and a little bit today, too). :) Other than that I just watched a couple of very short videos in Russian. Tomorrow I will do more Russian and less Georgian and Hebrew. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You have put the settings on your phone in Russian? I am impressed! I tried it with Facebook, but my
Russian was not strong enough at that point. You have inspired me to try again! I envy you doing Hebrew and Georgian, but I do not have the capacity to add any more languages, and besides I have promised my daughter never to do Georgian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, technically my Russian's not strong enough either, but I already know what most of
the important things say from memory, so it doesn't matter. And that way I learn what the Russian words mean, since I already know what they say in English! :) And I remember reading you talking about that thing with your daughter and Georgian. I thought that was a very interesting idea. Georgian is a really wonderful language, and not just because of those beautiful letters! (sorry to tease you, haha). Hebrew is great, too! :) Edited by zecchino1991 on 05 January 2013 at 8:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My mom just gave me full cable in my room so my dad would stop watching so much TV, and I
discovered that there are some Russian channels! But we don't get them. :( We don't get a lot of the higher channels because we are cheap and don't want to pay for them (which is not a bad thing I guess!). Too bad I am not learning Armenian, because we get tons of Armenian channels, even on basic cable (there are a lot of Armenian people where I live)! I might have to get those Russian channels, since I don't really watch TV and I might as well have something that I would actually have a reason to watch! Edit: I'm watching one of the Armenian channels, and there is a show where they are speaking Russian, but (I think?) with an Armenian accent. Interesting!...I'm gonna go check what's on the Armenian/Russian channel (that's actually what it's called...)!

Today I did like four of the Little Challenges, so I am very tired! I listened to some TY
dialogues, too, but I wasn't exactly paying attention that closely...I also watched part of a movie. I feel like this was a pretty productive day for Russian overall! :) When I was writing I realized I really need to review my case declensions! I will do that tomorrow for sure. My teacher would have a heart attack if she saw them right now! By the way, my mom is going to order the Russian channels back! Apparently we had them before and I never knew it. There is at least one movie channel, and a couple other channels, too. I think that will be great practice, especially for when I am too tired to do anything else (like right now). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You're way ahead of me on the LCs! Well done! And congratulations on getting Russian TV back. I admit, I don't watch much of it myself. Theres some shows that I recognise from the UK on there but with a Russian cast etc. There are some American shows like Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons too, but they do a terrible job of dubbing them. It's literally a translator just talking over the English voices!
Keep up the stellar work! Edited by Toffeeliz on 06 January 2013 at 9:23am 1 person has voted this message useful |
