@tarvos: I am actually fairly satisfied with my ability to speak Russian - not that it is perfect, far from it - but
most of the time I can get my meaning across. My problem is that I so often do not understand the answers, because my vocabulary is too limited. @Chung: Yes, it is a pleasure to meet other HTLALers :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

How is your name actually pronounced, Cristina?

I would not know how to begin to explain that. Like I said, it is unpronounceable. Solfrid Kvernsveen is so impossible, that I never use it professionally, I just use Cristina. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I don't hate it but yeah that's what it is. As I said, when your vocabulary is finally sufficient, that will be basic fluency imo :) What the intermediate stage looks&feels like can vary between languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Really great reading about your travels Cristina! I will simply echo the jealousy other have expressed, hope I get the opportunity to see more of the world and meet some HTLALers one day.

But I, unlike you, at age 7 would pretend to speak German while on holiday, even though I didn't know a word of German :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Solfrid is on forvo at least. Sorry but it reminds me on сульфит from chemistry (sulfite). I actually think that for Russians the biggest problem is that they have no clue about the Norwegian rules of pronunciation. Сульфрид in cyrillics would be manageable. 1 person has voted this message useful |
