I think I am slowly starting to understand more Spanish. I watched the same show I always watch and it's
getting easier. I actually understand Don Francisco now! Not much to say about Russian, since all we did in class on Thursday was take a test. But I found some new songs to learn! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I just got a voicemail, but it's in Russian! I can't understand what it's about... I know
who it's from (a bookstore I ordered something from), but that's about it. All I understood was allo, dobriy den', dom knigi, gruzinskiy yazyk (I ordered some Georgian books), k sozhaleniyu, and the phone number he wanted me to call. I think they're saying they don't have the books I wanted. I wish I knew a way to post it here! ;P 1 person has voted this message useful | |

some words that could be there:
заказ товар артикул нет на складе нет в наличии доставить, осуществить доставку невозможно/нет возможности предоплата предварительный which site did you order from and did you pay? it seems like moscow dom knigi doesn't routinely ship abroad so they might've needed to contact you for special arrangements. i recommend emailing them to explain you don't speak fluent Russian and didn't understand the message on your voicemail. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Also did you place your order today? Could they just be informing you that they'll ship it after the extended weekend (bc of Women's day)?

No they ship abroad. I'm pretty sure they're just saying they don't have the books. I'll email them. It's just
kinda fun to try and understand what they're saying. ;) I'll listen for those words. Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well I guess I was right because they sent only one of the books. But that's ok, cause
the one I got is really cool! Well I guess I should update for real now that the challenge is over. Since I was focusing on Georgian, all my hours from Russian came from school/homework. Right now we are studying genitive case (fun...), so far it's not so hard. I feel like the book we are using gives very good explanations of grammar, but not the most useful vocabulary. Can't do much with grammar rules when I have no words to use with it! I guess I'll have to fix that on my own. ;) I noticed this when I tried to say some basic sentences in Russian and Georgian, and found that I can say much more in Georgian! I think it's partly because I learned Georgian more "naturally," i.e. from native content, not just a textbook designed specifically for college students with a strong focus on academic vocabulary. So there's something else I'll have to fix! :) Edit: Oh and I must say, I am getting a lot of accidental Spanish practice lately! I am taking a class where I hear a lot of Spanish because we talk about code switching and things like that. And I am taking another class where I have to read books that are partly in Spanish. I even got myself some time for the 6WC from it! :) Edited by zecchino1991 on 19 March 2012 at 4:35am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

One more really random thing... I just discovered something. I can no longer write
English in cursive, because I end up using Cyrillic cursive! Kind of annoying, because I like writing in Latin cursive, I just never do it so it's hard now that I write in Russian so much. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
