Hi! I'm taking Russian this semester, and I need to identify 30 people/places/things/etc., and I cannot figure out who/what this is!! Here's what I need identified:

владимир бысоцкий

Please help me!
Thank you for actually being SERIOUS and helping me - for whoever said "adolf hitler", quit being such an ass.

the same as Russian spies
or will there be facing real penalty
Saw Russian talk show with some parents of those students. One of the congressman there said, "what is ,000,000 for USA? No big deal" . The parents claimed their kids had no idea they were wrongdoing. Bulls---t is you ask me.

Using the english alphabet not the cyrillic alphabet how would you say "Gino needs to hang out with us soon or else we are going to steal some kid's bike and come kidnap him lol"

"In order to win, you have to play". I came up with "выиграть надо играть" but somehow it doesn't seem correct. Any Russians there who can help me out? Thanks a lot! ^^

Using the English alphabet not the Cyrillic alphabet how do you say this in russian?
"alright so mom said i cant come up thrusday after school.. plus i work anyways. so we are just gunna come up friday after school if that cool with you?"

For example, when people talk about Scottish acents the say something like, "You have a slight Scottish Brog," Right? Or a Scottish Lilt, or whatever.
What do you call it for Russian people?

i was watching Disney's Anastasia and they kept saying "los vedania your grace" what does los vedania mean? i may not be spelling it right but i'm just so stinkin' confused i gotta know what that means!

I wanted to know if i am capable of speaking Russian before August, 2011.
Right now, i study 2 hours of Russian everyday. (1 hour with tutor & 1 hour by myself)
I'm curious to know if i can speak Russian in a year. Right now I can speak simple sentences, but i know how to make semi-medium to medium hard sentences by myself, but it takes a bit of a time to process.

I know how to write sentences as long as, "I saw the man we talked about yesterday, at the market."

It's only been 2 weeks since I learned...I try really hard and I'm also a fast learner.
So do you think i can learn how to speak (not necessarily write) Russian fluently in 1 year?
I also know how to write in present, and future. I know some word and know perfectly how to conjugate. The problem is i still need to learn how to make longer sentences with a wider variety of vocabulary. I also need to speak faster without thinking much.

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 -.

Using the English alphabet and not the Cyrillic alphabet please how do you say in Russian " Sorry for getting off in the middle of our conversation my internet stopped working. Yes I am in college, I am going to school in Minnesota right now are you in college? I was born in Moscow but my parents moved when I was a baby! How long have you lived here?

Just one thing, in that this should not teach in the "memorize phrases" way like Rosetta Stone would.

with each of the words first letter being capitalized ( i know theres no "the"

I am looking a for a Russian translation/version of the "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran (ISBN 5-89647-018-5)

My girlfriend of 10 months' Russian father sat me down the other day for a talk. I was sort of blindsided when he asked me what my plans were for having children and the future with his daughter. 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?

P.S. I know about Rosetta Stone but it is too expensive
