I need a answer from a REAL RUSSIAN RAISED IN RUSSIA! I DON'T WANT SOMEONE WHO THINKS THEIR SMART TO USE INTERNET TRANSLATOR!
I am asking a question to the Russian Post and American Dialect is very difficult for native Russians who speak english.

I am talking the prepaid international calling cards. Internet translation doesn't help at all. It gets confused with english synonyms.

Please help.

Russian is my native language, so I'm just wondering what are the hardest things to pronounce for those who study it
No, no, believe me, I am familiar with problems of Russians I'm asking about problems of those who study Russian as a foreign language.
redalert: sorry..you don't speak it

is it because the print letters are difficult to write? what do russian children do before they handwrite? what did russians do before the keyboard? i am teaching myself russian and i am having trouble making decent letters in russian... it would be faster to do them in cursive, but i want to learn how to read russian print.

i dont know if this is even a question at all... all i am saying is learning russian is hard!!

I was just wondering, can you write Russian without the Cyrllic alphabet, like in the English alphabet but Russians would understand it?

There are notebooks that have diagonal lines in them to help you write cursive correctly in Russian but they don't have them in the USA where could I get the ones they have in Russia?
I mean it is like a real notebook with the blue horizontal lines and red margins, but it also has blue diagonal lines. Russians should know what I am talking about

For example, the movie "Eastern Promises".
I don't think it sounds very realistic if they have a British or an American speaking Russian (not that I would be able to tell the difference, but a Russian person would)
So why don't they just cast real Russians?

Using the English alphabet not the Cyrillic alphabet, how would you say in Russian

"What are you studying? Are you coming back after you finish University? I have a friend who is super sweet, he's obsessed with Russians.. You can get your Citizenship ;p lol I want to go to Russia, to visit. I haven't been since I was two! "

Thank you

in school all u hear is the nazis. but why don't we hear about what happen after the nazis. the russian red army raped over 2 million women. my friends grandma was one. two million rapes in Germany, there were between 70,000 and 100,000 in Vienna and anywhere from 50,000 to 200,000 in Hungary, as well as thousands in Romania and Bulgaria, which had been pro-Nazi, but also in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia

some where even mutalated, u can look it up. some women and children from 8to80 were found with broom sticks and other objects shoved up their vagina. one russian confussed on a documentery that he watched 8 men gang rape and 12yr old then they stabbed her to death and tied one leg to one truck and the other leg to another and the soldiers drove off in different directions. in some RAD camps girls breats were cut off and others were clubed to death.

nuns, pregnant women, and women who had given birth to babys were also raped, their government said it was ok because he called the german women 'free booty' to pay for what the nazis did. alot of their victims had nothing to do with the nazis. so how come we don't read about this in school? what the nazis did was wrong but so was the russians, shouldn't they be exposed to?

I was born in Ukraine and lived there for a while.
Wanna talk to Russians or Ukies.

This is for a girl.

Now to Russian. For some reason I couldn't add your e-mail into my contacts. I think it's because you have a Russian link in it, but I don't know. Anyway, the only other Russians I know is Sergie and Carrie. I'm not sure if I could be in the club because I have an 8th period, but it's cool that people are trying to make one.

I listened to Maksim, and I thought it was ok, but nothing like Fabrika! Speaking of that, do you have any of their CD's? I've been trying to order one, but I just can't. Do you think you could either burn me one, or let me borrow it if you do have one? In return, I have Blestyashie: Vostochnye skazki, and Zhanna Friske's latest CD, if you wanted to burn one. And about Vitas, when I first heard him I thought it was a woman singing because he goes so high! One last thing, before I forget, if you do have one of Fabrika's CD's you can either give it to John or Laura. Thanks!

Now when I say American I'm talking about educated Americans that aren't fat. I know alot of Russians don't like America because of the cold war but I was wondering how they thought of educated ones.

Why is there no russian yahoo chat rooms.I bet there is alot of russians with computers who want to talk with others.

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.

I have started taking russian lessons and i am really passionate about it !! cuz my grandfather is russian but i wasn't born in russia and cant speak a word !! ( i mean i can say basic stuff and read cyrilic "menia zavut Ivan" ) LOL , but since i had my 1st lesson in russian today !! if i carry on learning igt with lessons !!! how long does it take until i can :

Hello my fury ones.

I have been admitted to hospital in a mental hospital, because I want to be a Russian and it is not possible. I cry every night about it, sometimes people have to come and sit with me to help me sleep.
I am on antidepressants and have attempted suicide nearly 3 times.

I have a collections of Russian hats like these here...

I have 100 different hats.

I also have some of these...

I have 21 Russian coats.

I dress up as a Russian every day.
I can talk Russian, have been to Russia 27 times on holiday in (all during winter) including in Siberia.
Every time I come back, my counselor tells me off for feeding my obsession.

I love them.

I would to cuddle them, and hug their lovely fur coats and their fur hats. I want to stroke them like kittens because Russians are so cute; especially when they walk around in the snow in front of St. Basel's Cathedral.

I wanna be surrounded by Russians, in winter; dress for freeing whether; all eating dinner with me, while I dress like them.
Then I would go outside in the -35*C (winc-chill of -50) weather outside, and enjoy the freezing air.
I would see snow around me.

I would be staggering down the street, because I would have waves of pleasure surging through my body. And I would feel this way for the rest of my life.

When I last went to Russia, I had difficultly walking because of the pleasure; and I had to change my underwear 3 times in one day on one occasion. People told me that as I walked down the street, I occasionally grunted (which was due to the extreme pleasures that I felt); this is even more magnified when I went down Red Square, where the pleasure brought me down to my knees (making me have to walk like a frog does across the open grounds, with loads of giving me some very strange looks as a result.

I had no sleep for over 6 days when I arrived, and when I came home I attempted suicide by an overdose of paracetamol.

What would expect to happen to someone whom expierences this kind of pleasure like I have discribe if they emagrate here. Apparently, according to my calculations; if I done that, it would create pleasure that would cuase my death to occur.

What should I do?

CREED

but glorified Reagan for talking to the Russians, who had thousands of ICBM's pointed at our country?

Nobody seems to talk much about them these days, but the Russians are making some nifty cars, some of which I really wouldn't mind owning - stuff with V8s, 4x4s, you name it.
Are they doing crash tests in Russia, too, I wonder?

Starting from zero knowledge, studying 2-3 hours a day, with lots of listening and reading material and daily practice with native speakers. Also Russian courses at university.

Any hope to speak it passably in a year?
I live in Canada, many Russians. I might visit Russia for some weeks this year.

Dude, if they've been studying the language for 4 years and still can't keep up a conversation, it just means they're natural-born knuckleheads. You can learn Mandarin in 5 years.

i have allways wondered this, these are the dolls which you pull apart and there is another smaller doll inside it, and if you pull that apart there is another smaller than that....im sure Russians know what im talking about, im just being silly, pls tell me if i am?

At the beginning of the mission No Russian in MW2 Makorav said "No Russian" What did he mean by that. Did he mean don't speak Russian? He didn't talk much at all. Did he mean don't kill any Russians cause they did alot of that. Just wondering.

I used to have a pen pal in school but lost touch and i want to use email to talk to some people preferbly russians any ways i can get 1?

"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! ^^

The biggest egomaniac Jonathan Lippe who changed his name to Jonathan Goldsmith appears in the Dos Equis commercials has a claim to "speak french in russian". This got me thinking how do Russians say French because that technically is speaking french in russian. Now I used a free online translator to help me find it out and it says it is the same french. This might be wrong but I don't know anyone who speaks russian to confirm this but if I am please correct me. Unless I'm wrong anyone who can say french can pull this "amazing feat".
Fransoozski nice to have it confirmed curious I knew the online translation was BS good job hats off to you
I can't throw you the best answer yet Just Curious but when it comes up you got it.

Lately I've been fascinated with Cyrillic and the way the Russians speak and I would like to know if there is anyone or any place that can teach me. Thanks a bunch

Did russians need to learn english or did they know it already? how did they learn it?

I wanna learn a language through Rosetta stone, but I can only afford one language so I'm wondering what your opinions are on the two. Also I wanted to ask, which country is more aggressive. From what I've herd Russians are brute and aggressive, but Isn't China a communist country so they're really strict and cruel? Please answer with and opinions. Thank you very much:)
Also for example of which country is more aggressive; Say you break a law, which country would handle it more aggressive. Would they beat you or would you be given similar rights as Americans do?

I love Russian so i was wondering if there are any free and easy ways to learn it. but i want it to be good enough and accurate enough to teach me to speak to russians.

Thank you =)

it seems like a year ago on my other account, I would ask Russian Questions and I got a ton of answers, now like nobody wants to answer them anymore. Have the Russians all left ?

are there any sites out there about learning russian . Where i live there are a lot of russians the little old lady next door to me always speaks to me in russian so i need to learn it so i can speak back

We live in Moscow and we are Russians. We want to meet English-speaking person who wants to talk in English. Where can we meet such kind of persons?
We are looking for someone who living in Moscow to meet and talk face-to-face.
