I didn't see it last night but on last week's episode, where they all went out for Daniel's b-day and got called into a secret interrogation room, he claimed he speaks 5 languages and some lady asked him in Russian "do you speak Russian?" and he was stumbling and making excuses. What the hell? How does he have an accent if he doesn't speak Russian? Do you think the show is fake and he is a paid actor?
If his parents are from Russia, then they would speak Russian at home and he would learn it, too!

THere are some Christians organizations who claim that the passage in Ezekiel 38 refers to a Russian-Arab invasion of Israel. That "Magog" refers to Russia. I am curious as to what Jews think of that.

Not the one that symbolizes the sound of "b", but the one that makes you pronounce the word differently; makes you pronounce it harder?

Sorry if I'm being unclear. It's just the only thing I need to learn to do.

I don't want to spend a lot of money like "Rosetta Stone", but I don't want a pointless cheap program either. I'm willing to spend up to -.

He said he thought it would be good for us to move in together close to their house so they could take care of the grandkids (which we dont have) and baby sit down the road. I do live 45 minutes away and she lives with her family still . She is 27 im 35. Thats just a small part of the conversation but i think you get the drift. It was pretty funny and was like something out of a "meet the parents Russian version movie. ANy comments is this normal in Russian families, this"talk"?

The website, Deutsche Welle ("German World") is an excellent website for learning German, because they have, among other things, the ability to listen to slowly-spoken German lessons. It is great. Does anyone know of such a website for learning Russian? There are, of course, Russian radio stations, but they speak too quickly for me to understand, so I am looking for a place where I can hear it spoken more slowly.

I would like to write "Belle Rose" (meaning "Beautiful Rose (flower)") in Russian letters...can anyone help me out?

I am using the "Living Language" program but I can't seem to follow it that closely. Right after the alphabet it takes some large steps that are tough to keep up with. Are there any other programs and/or ways that I can learn Russian?
