Then just one thing if anybody knows the soft and hard sounds, how does that go! When the lady on the audio says the hard sound, she says it like, ah be ook! ah be ook what??? wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 12:53:12 PM   Also is there a member that speaks Russian as a first language and can speak relatively good english that would like to help me with the Russian Language and learn more English, I am looking for someone with a computer at home with an internet connection and a microphone. Wess e-mail me groon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 12:59:02 PM   wess: Why not take classes? I purchased the Pimselur Russian set as someone here suggested and enrolled in a class. The Russian language is not as difficult as I initially thought. The alphabet is a bit confusing though. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 1:19:03 PM   I found a free course on the Inter net it is great has audio pronounciation, many levels and learning modules, and totally free not a trial offer. I am learning the alphabet. I want to know this part perfect. I also bought a dictionary and a cd set as well. I want to get a good foundation. I am getting everything clear except these two items. To learn and retain the new language the instructor says it is important to not only memorize but read and speak it as well. I can share some free technology to speak to someone world wide with a home computer and an internet connection, and a mic so I want to find someone to speak with! This is a great time to be living in. I talked to Thunderdome for free a few days ago he is in S. Africa and me in America, I keep telling people about this new item but no one really seems to interested but my intent all along was to find a Russian speaking person who we could mutually share a learning experience with. lesya Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 4:54:07 PM   It is more 'yo' then 'ye' wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 5:20:01 PM   Thanks Lesya, nice to see you again! lesya Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 5:29:51 PM   Hi wess, nice to see you too. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/4/2004 6:16:24 PM   Lesya, который я послал примечанию Вам, проверяют ваш в коробке idiotdetector Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 5:34:17 AM   I thought X was more like he. Like hotel or harry. But they always change it from english words to G. Harry=Gary. Hotel=gotel and Hitler=Gitler, which I found ver funny indeed. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 9:45:34 AM   What? What? are you talking about Idiotdetector????? I am so far lost! Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 1:14:59 PM   Wessman, in contradiction to your skype-posting I'm sure the Moderators will leave your link to that language-course alone. I could do with a foundation for learning especially their alphabet - Please post that link here? Also, whilst Oleg says he notices no difference between your above severely raped Latin characters and the proper Cyrillic symbols, I think the language-setting of a PC may have an effect on what is displayed. On my screen your post to Lesya shows mostly undercase latin vowels with even the most weird accent added, and I doubt whether this is legible to anyone. On a PC set for Cyrillics I think the embedded ASCII shows as legible 'normal' Russian, and I just hunch this is what caused Oleg to make that remark. However, that link to that lang-course would be nice to have, I've got plenty problems with 'recognising' the Cyrillic symbols, especially also when they're more than 'our' alphabet. I presume that goes for anybody attempting to learn Russian, it all starts with reading. When that fails there's no hope in hell, in contradiction to pronunciation or grammatical errors - both can be corrected, but reading must come as second nature first hence practising is a must. Regarding ID's post, he refers to the gutteral 'G', not the 'Gee'-sound in your language. In fact it's not a sound not a sound in your lang at all, you probably only may make it when you choke :)) I speak several other lang's and know my pronunciation of Russian is close enough, but those speaking English only will have a hard time 'bending their tongue' ;-)) wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 5:39:05 PM   Thunderdome here is the address for the langauge program Idiotdetector was right Right click the mouse and click encoding and it has verious settings I cliked cyrillic widows and get the Russian letters. ID"s post leaves me bewildered X is pronounced "who" like in julio... what do I know, I have been working on English all my life and some say I have not mastered this language. http://www.rus snet.org/home.php Take your time and follow the directions you may have a problem loading the cyrilliac text you know to reach me right? wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 5:44:18 PM   Thundredome you may have to load the cyrillic fonts, you have to right click and drag you know how that works, other than that hitch which is no big deal pretty simple. wmferg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 9:27:20 PM   My question would be what fonts are correct. I have 5 different Cyrillic fonts to chose from. ISO, K018-U, K018-R, DOS, Windows. I get a different result with each font. The Cyrillic (windows) I know is not correct as the post that wessman posted for Lesya is all vowels. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 10:06:48 PM   kotop,(first 5 letters of the first word) this is how it reads in the right font. You can go to a woman's profile and use prompt to write a letter to a woman, prompt is the electronic translator write a word on the translator and then come back here and match it up with the right font. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/5/2004 10:08:44 PM   maybe cyrillic dos idiotdetector Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2004 4:25:37 AM   з. Is this not the equivilent of G thunder. And is bread, hlep not spelt имер and from what I know I thought E was YE. I am no master and my lessons were long ago. And as for the G, they do not like to start a persons name with the letter H. Over ther it is Gary potterand gitler. And while in you Ukraine everyone was saying gotel and a sign said зпфйм or maybe зпфем I always have trouble with the e sound. Again I am not saying all of this is true so do not have a cry about it. But the thing about the h and g are true for sure. Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2004 1:46:59 PM   To all at least all that wish to get to grips with the basics of the Russian language - which is reading! - note the above link Wessman posted. Had a look, and this is a damn site clearer than what I've seen sofar. Will use it, thanks a lot. wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2004 2:01:00 PM   Great after you figure it out let me know my first clue will be the one you leave,LoL really great site I searched for a long tome and almost bought a lesson site but this one seems pretty user friendly. Ok drasvanya, BrianM Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2004 5:45:38 PM   I also recommend the Rosetta Stone software. It can be a tad bit on the expensive side unless you look for it on eBay or something or subscribe to their online version ($24 a month I think?). But one feature that in my mind makes that software shine above others is the ability to do voice print comparisons. There is one part of the modules that have the russian guide speak something. You see a voice print display. You then read the text or repeat what they say back into a microphone. It shows you in realtime how you are doing and if you are inflecting the words correctly. You can see if you are saying the words too slow, not annunciating the vowels correctly, etc. This is the main reason I prefer the Rosetta Stone courses. That and they teach you the language as you would learn it as a small child. (Visual associations to words, reading texts, verbally without visual, voice print matching, etc.) So the courses have an incredible retention rate of the language and ease of use for people of all ages. - Brian Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > The Language
