Not a homework question. I'm trying to tell my Russian friend that online discussion boards are not an appropriate place to voice one's innermost feelings and thoughts.

Thanks for any help. (Please, no online translators please.)

So is it a joke that you have one girl who is more special than others? I would imagine the way you talk about her that she has great qualities or she is a big beauty. Why else do men wait for a girl? And in my opinion, you could get a girl more beautiful than the ones before

Thank you!

Purely grammatically speaking, is Russian or Arabic harder in terms of complexity of grammar for a native speaker of English? Disregard the writing system and the vocabulary (I already know how to read both of the alphabets, and while Russian has a bit more grammar in common with English, I don't think there are too many common ones).

Why?

I really want to learn a new language (I am fluent in English and Spanish) and I decided I want to learn Russian. Anyways, If I purchase Rosetta Stone, would that help me to learn Russian?

1) Nice to know there is hope for you! I think all guys have a girl like this - one they want more than other girls. Or a girl to make them stop their womanizing ways. This girl - does she reside in Russia or America?

2) What do you value most in a girl?

3) Gavrilyuk is writing to herself on her page! Crazy.

His name was Micheal Koczan and he was born somewhere in Ukraine. I don't know what part I would like to know. He spoke both Russian and Ukrainian. He lived in Ukraine between 1890-1910 so if anyone can tell me his ethinicty that would be great.
Well my great grandfather did not live in Chicago ever and he died around 1926 so this couldn't be him.
He actually moved and lived in Pittsburgh.

i need to learn russian (russian alphabet, words, pronounsiation and all that stuff)
is there any website where i can learn russian online for free?
pls help me

Can anyone translate this sentence from English to Russian but not in Cyrillics?? I need it in the Latin alphabet.

"When the raven went insane..."

the keywords I need translated are "raven" and "insane"

Every example of the alphabet I've found is either typed or in cursive. I want to know how to write in the "common" way, does anyone know of any examples or traceable sheets like they'd make in grade school? Thanks!

PS - If anyone knows any good beginning russian websites, that'd be much appreciated as well.

he wrote this.....
i dunno what it says...
but i dun think he can spell out the russian words correctly...
he speaks russian perfectly though<33

There is a new girl in school and I want to be nice and talk. She only knows basic english. If you could also include other common Russian words, that would be nice.

Thank you, Andy

I wanna learn Russian but not through studying, I was wondering if there's anyone who'd be willing to teach me. E-mail me if you're willing.
I was looking for someone to chat to actually...

What problems? Alex waiting for a girl? Hahaha that is special. They say: the girls who are the hardest to get - these are the ones worth getting!

Thank you! I choose Best Answer as soon as I can

What does this say? "smotri, nashla menya i na video otmetila )) neeee, my tak ne pjem ))"

But I can’t read neither Bulgarian nor Russian alphabet, so
it should include Bulgarian or Russian pronunciation.

I mean, suppose I need to know how to say the Bulgarian word ‘дете’, well, that’s not a problem because the dictionay includes the written or voice pronunciation of it so you can read or listen how to pronounce it.

I prefer voice pronunciation so I’ll give five stars to any of you letting me know about any with such feature.

I am interesting in possibly starting some Russian classes, how difficult has it been for some of you to learn and how long has it taken you to have some ability to understand conversations and be able to respond to questions (basic conversation). I am a native Spanish and English speaker, picked up Portuguese in under 4 months.. yet it's very similar to Spanish so i wouldn't say I have an affinity for languages.

Also, I go to UCB so I have great resources for learning Russian.

"o-dor-ia" what letters in Russian can give this pronunciation???

"Mel v strane chudes"

It's supossed to say "Mel in Wonderland"

=D THANK YOU!!

I've taken russian for a full year now at the university level, and i'm very interested in getting to conversational competency as fast as I can. About how many vocabulary words do you believe it would require to achieve well rounded conversational abilities? Supposedly, Shakespeare wrote his works with only 35,000 words from english so I know it wouldn't take near that many to achieve competency, but if you have good estimates that are backed up with a source, that'd be awesome!

my husband is russian. he tries to teach me words. i learn them over time, but do you think it's possible for me to learn a language fluently after adult age. i'm 24.

think I could get around with my Russian?

I work for a county in Virginia, and the county have added the foreign languages Dutch, Arabic, and Russian. I have searched the web and all of the catalogs for textbooks and I could not find any Dutch, Arabic, or Russian textbooks. Can you please give me a website where I can find textbooks for these classes? Thanks!

i have 2, and they always do this. does it mean they are excited, scared, or just relaxed? they always do it while sleeping, and they also do it when they are being talked to and petted. anyone have russian torts and know the answer? i'm just really curious.

I'm taking my junior year off college, and i want to learn russian but i dont know if i should try the community college thing or something else.. russian is kind of a difficult language to find around here

"Thank you for not being there"
In the cyrillic please? D:

Suppose, for instance, a person is born to Russian parents who only speak Russian to the child, and the child learns English elsewhere. When this child speaks to a native Russian, would they be able to detect via his accent that he is not from Russia, or would the child simultaneously have (supposing they immigrated to the US) an American accent when speaking English and a Russian accent when speaking Russian? I'd be inclined to think that a child would have an American accent in both languages, though their American accent would much less pronounced in Russian than it would be for an American who learned Russian later in life. But who knows.

well i really want to learn Russian when i get through with french, so help a brother out and tell me how long it will take and please give me some info on Finnish,

please and thank you

I have English text with Arial font that I now need converting to Russian language, and it needs to be Cyrillic. So which is the basic Russian font that I should I use for that? Thanks

I can't read Russian writing or German (those extra letter they've got) so if you can do it in English writing this would be good. Thanks in advance.

I am curious to know what the Russian translation for my name is. My name is Maybelline... yes like the make-up. Thank you in advance!

Especially foreigners whose mother tongue is one of the Latin/Germanic based languages like English,German,Italian,French or Spanish. Since the phonetic system of those languages is completely different from the Russian phonetic system.

I guess it's theoretically possible because, in contrast, as a native Russian speaker, I became fluent in English after 3 years of living in America and completely lost my accent after about 5 years. But then again I started learning English at a very young age. Do you think a middle-aged foreigner would be able to learn Russian to such an extent that he can speak it like a native speaker?

I want to learn how to speak and write Russian but when I research the language it says Cyrillic or modern. Please help me, which one is most spoken in Russia? do i have to learn both to understand the language? and what is the difference between the two?

what does "ya skuchau po tebe", "spokoinoi nochi krasavica", "ti takaya milaya" & "ya hochu tebya" mean in Russian??
