Does anyone else have any good online resources to click and learn from? TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/15/2004 8:53:47 PM   The translator web site given in another thread yesterday is pretty good Del' You can put in words and get back their Russian equivalents. It will help you lots if you have an Eng/ Russian dictionary to hand to get the pronunciations for the letters or you will be in a real fuddle :o)) Just a few brief examples: In Russian B is v, and C is s, p is r, and H is N, r (or a character very similar) is g what looks like an n is p in Russian and last but not least a reversed capital R means ya ( so I, in Russian is a reversed capital R, Ya. ) There is no i in Russian as such, but a reversed N means the same sound. D`s are beautiful, but only those with Russina fonts will see this ä. It sounds like hell on earth to learn, but you will get the hang of it pretty fast :o)) I would do the whole alphabet here for everyone, but many of you don't have Russian fonts on your PC`s (Bullsh*t for one, he must be real serious about finding a Russian lady to love and respect him !!) so there isn't much point !! Thats enough potted Russian for tonight :o)) dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/15/2004 9:22:48 PM   I know all the translation sites well, even have systransoft on my PC, it's just nice to come across a site that has dedicated pre-prepared phrases written in Russian, phonetically and spoken too - I'm eager and can't wait until I get my language stuff through the post - I don't want to look a *head with bad pronounciation which you don't get from passive machine translation. The tips on the letters is good and I looked them up the other week. I probably need to learn and know them back to front before jumping in too deep, too quickly. What are you doing awake at almost 2am? You should be fast asleep which is where I am heading very soon. I think I said that an hour ago before I stumbled across those soft dulcit russian tones. :) As for bulldog, it's one less competition out there for the ladies as he's no chance judging by his performance but he does seem to attract a lot male replies(!) and if any of you have written to my gal, you've got no chance either, I'm working my magic. lol TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/15/2004 9:37:07 PM   <What are you doing awake at almost 2am?> I could ask you the same thing mate ;o)) But I dare not ask :o)) dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/15/2004 10:15:38 PM   I'm working on US -9GMT tonight so it's really only a little after 7pm; time for a snack soon, I switch to 0GMT in the middle of the week and now forward to +3GMT for the weekend. I don't live the conventional 9-5 and gave that up about 5 years ago. I'm still young and fit enough where my body can take it! Actually I should be writing that last line to a girl! lol :) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/16/2004 4:28:21 AM   Well Im sold on it mate :o)) I would try it if I were you :o) dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/16/2004 1:00:10 PM   http://www.enchantedlearning.com/themes/russia.shtml gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2004 4:08:13 PM   Del: have you tried the instant translator software? it works similar to an instant messenger and is available as a download from PROMPT,and you can install directly to your toolbar for instant access too!I'v found it very handy for a quick and reasonably accurate translation of web pages or parts thereof. dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2004 4:13:04 PM   I tend to use http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en for web pages but will take a look later at them. ty TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2004 4:38:33 PM   Not only had Del` been the last to post on all 3 top threads when I arrived here just now, but he is the perp` for those 3 threads too ;o))) And they say I talk too much !!! dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2004 5:44:18 PM   you do, you've always got to have the last word; like a woman.

I see glad got the last word in. Buran_Fan Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/18/2004 10:00:15 AM   If you're looking to give your knowledge a test, you can try: http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/golosa/golosa.htm As I posted in another thread, Golosa is the book series I studied with. There's also audio and video files, and links to other neat things. Off topic: If you're looking to immerse yourself a little more into what's happening in Russia, surf over to: http://www.russianstory.com where you can subscribe to and download the latest editions of Russian magazines and newspapers. Some are even in English. If you're not interested in anything current, I have some PDFs of old issues of things, like Itogi - Russia's version of (and published in conjunction with) Newsweek magazine. Ya Molodoy - What appears to be a youth/culture magazine Nauka NG - A monthly newspaper about science. in addition to the usual things like Kommersant, Isvestia, and Pravda. If anyone is interested in something, please email me. I'm more than happy to share. Poka!

Now I can practice how to say "kiss"/"potsely" properly. :) Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > online language references
