As far as I know, there is almost know connection between the two. I mean, there are probably some words of Greek origin in Russian and vice versa, but besides that, I don't think they're related.

Am I wrong?

im doing a speech on gulags and one of my sections is on the effect of the gulkags on russian society

I am in a the play The Fiddler on the Roof as a russian. One of my lines I am supposed to mock a girl named Chava (which in yiddish would be pronounced with the guttural sound as Cgha-va) by saying "Mazel tov Chava" with a Russian accent. I thought I would pronounce it with a "k" sound but I got chided for that. So how would I pronounce it? Does the Russian have a guttural "cgh" sound?

I have wanted to learn the Russian language for quite some time now. I have been unable to decide wether I should use the Pimsleur program or the Rosetta Stone one.

One of our region try-out pieces is called "Hvalite Imia Ghospodne"

On the first word, would it be pronounced ch-val-yee-tye (with a "k" sound in the ch) or huh-val-yee-tye

If you've seen this piece and know the other words. I would greatly appreciate any other tips on this piece, especially in pronunciation. Our director has done tons of Italian and Latin, but I have no experience in russian.

Thank you.
No answers? Please....? You don't know it but I'm batting my eyes at you... lol. Contest is coming up and I can't get this wrong

Is there a different word for the Russian and Danish languages? Or is it just Danish and Russian?
Like, do Russians speak Russian, and the Danish speak Danish?

Please provide proof for best answer.

yeah it may sound strange. but my teacher recommended listening to native Russian people talking as much as we can,even though we don't understand, it's good to get the flow of the language. so i'm thinking maybe i can download something in Russian and put it in my ipod so that I can listen to it. Not music, just people talking. thanks!

Thank you.
