RUSSIAN/SPANISH
I am going to Ukraine tomorrow, so I am super excited about that! I have been listening to A LOT of Russian lately – some that I had already gone through before (Pimsleur, Teach yourself Russian) and some that was new or too advanced for me (Assimil). I got a compliment for my Russian the other day. I called a Ukrainian friend in Belgium with whom I have always spoken French, and had decided that I was going to start out in Russian, so the conversation went as follows: - Hello Nadia, it’s me, Cristina, from Norway. - Oh, but you speak Russian! - No, I speak Russian quite badly. - No, you speak it very well, where have you learned it (followed by a lot in very quick Russian which I did not catch, so I had to go into French…) So, not terribly impressive, but I take a compliment anywhere I can :-) I also received the Spanish book on Russian grammar a couple of days ago, and it is amazing! The title says that it is only about cases and prepositions, but I do not think the author has actually read that, so it is about most aspects of Russian grammar. I opened it yesterday morning, and I did the first 20 exercises before breakfast, and could hardly put it down. It does not give translations for all the words they use, so I do not think I could have used it when I knew less Russian, but it is very good for my current level. It is the first time I do Russian from a Spanish book, so that feels a bit weird. I am so used to all my French books on Russian language and grammar. Another ten exercises went down this morning, and I am bringing it to Ukraine so I can do more while I am there. And tomorrow is my birthday! That is, not my biological birthday, that one is in May, but tomorrow I have been here on this forum for a whole year, and right now I can hardly imagine my existence without it. So I want to send a big birthday hug to those of you who read my log, and I hereby invite all of you to stay at my house for a few days whenever you happen to be in Norway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

С Днём Рождения, Кристина! Я желаю что твоя поездка в Украину будет замечательная и что ты будешь говорить много с твоими друзьями по-русски (или по-украински?). Счастливого пути!

I was going to congratulate you tomorrow of course but since you’re leaving I’ll do it now to make sure you read it before you leave.
Поздравляю с днём рождения! (if that was wrong it’s Wiktionary’s fault. If it was correct I totally figured it out myself) I feel honored to almost share my forum birthday with you! Удачи in Ukraine and many happy linguistic returns! Edited by ReneeMona on 17 April 2011 at 8:22pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Solfrid Cristina, I wish you good and language-intensive holidays in Ukraine! Remember that's a privilege to travel to foreign countries, so you should really enjoy it.
Best wishes, Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Happy Forum Day, Solfrid! I hope you have a wonderful time in Ukraine, and return reinvigorated and inspired, with more than enough skills to interpret Battleship Potemkin (lol). ;)
Счастливого пути! (Bon voyage!) 1 person has voted this message useful |
