I'm glad you both think they're okay. mrwarper, did you look at both sections? Also, I've
forgotten whether you've just started learning or are a little further along with your
Russian; which section are you going to tackle? Personally, I will probably go over some
of the beginner's ones as well, as I'd not be at all surprised if I can't pronounce some
soft or hard variants properly. I am actually terrified of speaking Russian again. I can
write okay but my speaking has probably gone out the window completely. Like, totally out
the window and throw away the key.

Right. The two of us will have a conversation in Russian, and I assure you that you will regain all your confidence immediately. I may be lying sobbing on the floor after the session, but at least you will rememember how good you actually are :-)

Jag tycker att du skulle ha lite mer självförtroende, Cristina...

I will do the whole Skype session in Russian if necessary. Not that I won't speak
terrible Russian, but I'll do it anyway. I don't care how bad my Russian is :)

If we're going to converse in Russian, I'll be the one who will suck BIG TIME! I have never spoken Russian to another person, so I don't have the faintest idea how much I can understand and how much I can say. Well, all of my languages except English suffer from constant neglect, so it won't really matter what language we speak... I might be fine with German, though. ;)

Well it looks like we all have our demons to banish. I know I'm partly comparing with the
last time I spoke Russian properly which was in my end of university exams. Oh well, I
will read something before the session to reawaken the slumbering Russian beast.

2. Их зовут Кьартан, Катрина и Силье.

сорок семь? Forty seven?

Sorry, I did not understand at first. Personal pronouns must replace nouns, so your муж
must be expressed in a direct way in the second sentence: У меня есть муж и две дочери.
Их зовут... Not "I'm married and have two daughters. Their names are...".
