I am a college student majoring in Criminal Justice and I am considering taking courses in either of these two languages. We have a great professor here who apparently is great at teaching kids the Russian language but I am curious as if their is any need to learn Russian or should i just go with Arabic

can i become fluent or atleast understandable in the russian language at home without having to go to a take classes? i have a few books on it, but i have heard that it is impossible to speak fluent russian for an english speaker. because it is a slavic language...?

If you're not a native speaker then don't even waste your time. No Google Translate! I shouldn't have to tell you guys that...

Is there no word for eyeliner? Why are there three words in the Russian language for eyeliner? Or is that just the translator?

I know there must be, I am not completely ignorant. However, I ask because in my little corner of the world, there aren't hardly any. So, if you are out there and you have some type of media with the Russian language or accent, feel free to post it with your answer.

How do you say "Could you" in Russian language ?

e.g. "Sorry, could you Сказать другими словами ? Я не очень понимаю."

Thank you )

I am a native English speaker, and now I want to be able to speak another language. I'm particularily interested in the Russian language, (to be honest, I think it sounds pretty cool when its spoken). So what I want to know is how difficult is it to learn the Russian language? And what is the best way to learn it? I've heard of the program Rosetta Stone, and I am willing to pay the 0 for all three levels.

So any advice you're willing to give out, and any information on the Russian language would be much appreciated! Thank you very much!

How do you say "confusing" in Russian language?

e.g. This question is confusing.

Thanks.

I had a Russian language exchange partner introduce me to masha and the bear. Even though i am 33 years old I love the cartoon. If Masha is what it is like to have daughters I will be in heaven with my dream of having 7 of them. I view 7 as a lucky number. i

What does "Чего резину тянем" mean in Russian language?

Thank you in advance.

or really just how to speak and write it, is there any websites(one that teaches you how to speak russian not just vocabulary) or good books on how i can master the russian language???

From what I've heard, Russian language does not have dialects and variations even though it is spoken in vast areas.

1. Is it true that Russian accent is uniform almost everywhere?
Do people from Moscow and Vladibostok(Eastern part) have the same accent?

2. Do people from Former Soviet Union(such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine) speak Russian with the very same neutral accent?

3. German has many dialects and variations even if it is spoken only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Providing #1 and #2 are true, how come Russian is so uniform in such a vast land?

I'm fluent in English, and am mostly fluent in French. I've always loved the Russian language and culture so I thought what better than to learn the language myself. So I was wondering, is Russian a useful language to know even if I'm in the USA?

Can anyone give me tips on learning the Russian language?

I've perfected the Russian Cyrillic alphabet already (thanks to the Russian Sesame Street) and can read words slowly, but I still can't speak it. I have trouble memorizing all these pronouns, verbs and verb conjugations, etc.

What do you recommend?

Thanks!

i know bits and pieces of the Russian language, enough to make semi-basic conversation, but I have a strong "american" accent, cannot read or write in Russian, and am missing some important words. my grandma taught me how to read and write in Russian a few years ago, but i forgot it, because i didn't use it much.

what are some good ways to reteach myself the language? I know enough, i think, to reteach myself the language

When people talk about russian language they keep mentioning aspects or aspectual pairs and I can't find out what they are, does anyone know??

The Russians and English speakers as you know have totally different structures of their vocal organs. What Russian sounds or sound combinations are the hardest to pronounce for you? Is it difficult to work out the Russian accent?
To Snaka:
I'm Russian and I have never seen an American who speaks Russian without his/her native accent. No one! Even those who have lived in Russia for many years still can't get rid of some typical English sounds.
Russian language speaking involves back part of a mouth and a throat a lot while English - mostly front part. Tongue position in Russian - mostly at the top or in the middle of the mouth, in English - at the bottom. Also the vocals in Russian are longer. Correct me if I'm off base about English.

In my Russian-language textbook, it has stress marks on top of the letters. For instance, on the phrase номер телефона (telephone number), there are stress marks on top of the o's in each word.

If I were actually writing out Russian myself, am I supposed to write the stress marks or not?

Any web site,cd or cassette that speaks the Russian language followed by the English translation? i would like to listen to these as i sleep,in the car or what ever. i have been studying Russian for 1 1/2 yeas now and can converse in the language somewhat. also does anyone know if subliminal cd's work? thanks!!

The man in my life loves the Russian language and essentially everything about Russia.
I would like to be able to write and say an endearing term in Russian. In English, it's not unusual to call each other dear, sweetheart, love, etc, and I want to know if there's something like this in Russian.
I've seen lots of things to call girls, but those don't help.

In the spring I am going to be teaching Animal Farm along with the Russian Revolution. I want to show a film (not a documentary) that either takes place during or right after the Russian Revolution so students can see what life was like then. I want to show something with a fair amount of accuracy (ie- not Anastasia). It can be in English or Russian. I speak Russian so I can explain things if we do a Russian language film... I am just having a difficult time locating a film that is not a documentary. Thanks

Hi everyone!
I have a site where I write about dating online, the Russian language, Russian girls and Russian culture. I also offer Russian translation services and other online services.
The site is: http://www.aerotranslate.com/
I add new material on my site almost every day. However, I would be really interested to know what people from other countries want to learn about Russia. Please, share your curiosity and questions with me, and I'll try to answer them here or on my site.
Thank you!

I am 15 years old and I am taking classes to learn Russian, but I feel like I am not learning enough from the class alone. I study somewhat independently, but I think it would go faster if I had a friend that could help me with learning more things in the Russian language. Is there anyone out there that can help me?

I am a political science major and need to take a language course in college. I have always had a strange fascination with Russian culture, history, and politics. What are some good reasons to learn the Russian language? What are the benefits of the language, especially in the field of politics/international relations? I know the language is difficult to learn when compared to Spanish, French, German, etc. However, Russian is considered the "easiest of the hard languages." I don't think I should shy away from the language, however, just because of its difficulty......
