If there are mistakes in the dialogue, they are most likely typing errors. I typed up the thing late at night and was
tired. I'll take a second look at it.

The audio for the dialogues can be found here: http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/golosa/audio/audio1-4e.htm

Thanks for troubling yourself and type the dialogues. I appreciate your effort. If you like, I could also type
some dialogues from Assimil or Ultimate Russian. I have the audio but on CD, I don't know how to share
them with the team, and also if it could be an author's rights issue. I can try and patch an audio file here,
just for experiment's sake :)

6WC Week 1

We’re now well over a week into the challenge and I’ve made an attempt at providing a
first summary. I’ve tracked down the following Sputnik members, please tell me if
anyone is missing: drsarvo, Ellsworth, fabricciocarraro, Isbliss 27, M. Medialis,
playadom (dakotalk), Solfrid Cristin (CristinaNorway), tarvos (jornvanschaik), Teango,
Tecktight (Ensuingly), Woodsei and myself.

I’ve included tweets made until Tuesday midnight CET, since I believe that’s what the
bot is using. This is disadvantageous for the Occident but the Orient will lose the
same amount of time in the final week.

Here are top 5 in three categories:







A lot of impressive work there! And big congrats to Cristina for capturing the Triple.

P.S. I just realised cosmonaut is spellt with a 'c' in English. Just look at it as an
exotic twist or something like that.

Thank you for your congratulations, dear fellow cosmonauts, but in this very instant I am actually already overtaken by Woodsei, so big congratulations to her too!!

And thanks to aloysius for the awesome charts!

Today I crammed as much Russian in as was humanly possible, so it feels like my brain is turning into borsch right now. I am actually learning a lot with this "put Russian into every wake hour of the day" policy of mine though, so I hope I am able to keep up the rythm fro the 6 weeks.

Well, new week and new challenges! It looks like right now three of us are in the top 10, and 6 of us are among the top 30. Let's go for all of us within the top 30 shall we? Let the new week begin!!!

The bad news: I haven't had the time to go through all of your personal logs yet ;)

I've grabbed the audio for the whole Golosa books and shorted and systematized the file names (everything is called bXuYY_whatever now, where X = 1 or 2, Y = unit number, whatever = original relevant part of the file name for easy ID'ing) so I can play them easily from my cell phone. If anyone else is interested, I may zip the whole package and upload it somewhere.

WRT the book itself, I've checked at Prentice Hall (or whatever they're called) and the price tag for the first level pack is around $170! Do you know if they produce a cheaper version on PDF or something? That amount of money is bad enough, but now I've caught on the habit of getting rid of tons of paper, not piling it up again...

Finally, I've just noticed that I link this in every other post and yet somehow I neglected to do it here: study-languages-online.com

It's all good, but I especially like the introductory phonetics part under the pronunciation section.

Any thoughts? Cheers,

Edit: intended to, but forgot to mention, don't count on me for the 6WC -I haven't even signed up-. I am trying to start off with not much and build up my discipline as I progress, so cramming and strong rhythm changes are out of the question.
