Something that is passed down in Russian culture?

I have an assignment due next week in class where I need to find something that is typically passed down in a Russian family or something that is big in Russian culture. I just need to print out pictures of the item, bring them in to class and talk about it for 2 min. I was thinking about Matryoshka dolls, but I'm not sure they are passed down. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am in need of some document translation from Russian to English for US Immigration Services. Any recommendations for a reliable and cost effective Russian translation agency providing certified and notarized translations of the documents from Russian into English?

I do not speak Russian but I know for a fact they certainly have hundreds of books they translate to Russian not so much in English some times; I have no idea why.

Thanks.

Ya proshyol vse dorogee
Ya tebya eeskal tak dolga
Ty, holoda ee trevogee
Vdrug razveyala ee ya cvety
Tol'ko mne eeh podaree
Dlya tebya lish' tol'ko ya sgorayu
Znayu serdtse moyo rasstayet,
yA znayu, ty daleko
Mezhdu namee goroda, Ya s' toboyu navsegda
Ty edinstvennaya lyubov' moya

I'd really love to learn a little bit of Russian. It is a very interesting language to me, and I need a foreign language credit to graduate. How would I take it online? The only foreign language my school offers is Spanish because I live in southern Arizona. Spanish doesn't even seem like a foreign language anymore because of the immigration.

I'm a native Russian speaker. I'd really like GPA booster. I generally pick up on languages quite quickly. My university offers Ukrainian, and I can't take beginners Russian. Would I be better off taking something else for an arts option?

Russian letter pronunciation help?

Okay, so the Russian letter "g", "г", i have noticed it is sometimes pronounced like "v" like in "его" it's pronounced like "yevo".. I think i'm right.

Well when do you know to pronounced "g" and a hard g or like v?
Or, explain it to me, like pronunciation.

And would ногти be "nogti" or "novti", then?

Thanks!

so how long will it take to learn russian?

Well am fourteen, so I don't know cause I thought by the time I' am older I'll be fluent. I learn Russian through books and internet (but it sucks cause they don't have a button where u can hear it). Also my uncle knows it but he is gone, and i dont true him haha.

I know some basic, like hi how are you, cup, raddish, good night what time is it it, girl boy, she he, you (both ways), no yes etc etc.
um yeah...

feel free to teach it to me also, that would mean a lot

I would like to know how to say 'little sister' in Russian. I used to speak Russian (almost 20 years ago now) and am very rusty. If possible and someone knows, could you write it out in English letters the way it is to sound in Russian? Thanks!

Can someone check my Russian translation?

It was offered at my high school and I took it, and then continued it in college, and I am just wondering how many other folks in the US have had the opportunity to use it as well. Also, how useful have you found it where you live?
