If you want to translate an SMS from Russian into English, just post it here and I (or someone else) will translate it for you. Or, maybe she wrote Russian words phonetically with English letters? Post it and I'll translate. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/23/2009 8:46:53 PM   here i go again... I just thought of something someone said to someone else and it dawned on me what it acutally meant. Think of a two year old just being able to say mama, dada, cat and poopie! And then proclaiming (in his little mind)he is speaking English! And his mommy saying isn't he wonderful? But hell, I only know a couple words in Russian. Who am I to judge. I just found it amusing. Best I can hope for is to not get thrown in jail for pissing on the sidewalk because I thought that's what the sign said.

Sorry to all else and to the "magpies",,,, you'll have to wait for some other posting to sqawk at. One never knows what a woman might tell a man. It may good and it may be bad. Maybe even too good for your eyes to see and maybe ample fodder for your sport.

In the meantime, I'm taking the advice that Pimsluer doesn't help with the written language, so I've started self-teaching. I've decided to split this into two parts: Learning the alphabet, then (once I know more Russian words) tackling sentence structure, grammar and syntax. I don't expect it to be an easy task. I've downloaded a 'latin-cyrillic' conversion chart, and have made various aide memoir notes (for memorising vowels, and marking out letters which are essentially the same in both alphabets). Using these references, I'm now writing English sentences, in Cyrillic letters. The hope is that I'll be able to read the cyrillic letters well enough by the time I've learned the spoken language. Hopefully, my third and final task will be to marry the two, reading Russian. I expect there to be much trial and error, with plenty of giggles from any Russian speakers I can find to practice with. Still, in for a penny... Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/28/2009 7:26:07 PM   Muzzy- you are my hero! You are going to marry two? Most of us can't find one to marry. You da man! Are you sure you aren't from Utah? And if you can marry the two, does it matter if they are reading Russian? I agree about the comment using Pimsluer. I am more of a visual learner. Just listening and repeating is not that good unless I can read the text and relate it to what is said. It is a very good idea to find a text of word use. Too bad pimsluer does not include a written text of the 'conversations'. That would be very useful to us dummies that have to hear it over and over again. And I have discovered that listening to it in the car is a lot more distracting than using a cell phone. Holy cow! I became so focused on the 'conversation' that I almost rear ended someone while driving up north for t-day dinner. And I never lose focus on driving - until now of course.

So I put an ad in the paper and found a native Russian speaker to help me. I would also check if there are any Russian/Ukrainian churches close by. You may find a tutor for not much money. In larger cities, there usually are Russian pharmacies, restaurants, realtors, doctors, travel agents and even saunas. A few phone calls may result in a private Russian tutor. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/27/2010 3:21:03 PM   Before I even ordered a Russian language CD, I ordered a CD on Ukrainian Language through amazon.com. It said I would learn Ukrainian instantly in my sleep. It only cost $1.50 and it was used, so I thought what do I have to lose? It was hypnosis. Relax this, relax that. "You are now learning Ukrainian. You are understanding better and better. You are now going to speak it." It didn't have a word of Ukrainian in it. I called the person who sent it and he offered a refund, but I said never mind. jetmba.

I didn't expect much for $1.50 (I think that is what I paid as well) and I didn't get much either. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/2/2010 3:10:08 PM   Funny thing. My prospective future step daughter is on Facebook. Her profile is all in cyrilic. I translated her bio on Google Translate and it said, "I am gay.". I know that can also mean happy in English. But that translator can give one meaning or the other. I emailed her and told her it is good that she can admit it at her young age. She emailed me back, "What is gay?" She changed her bio.
