Hello everybody! I loved this blog as I came across it and now I want to join you here in your struggle with the Russian language.
Here's a small funny poem by Tim Sobakin I've got for you today (escpecially for those who have problems with the cases). It's one of my childhood favourites! Read and enjoy!
If you want to listen to it, you can download my reading from here: http://www.filehoster.ru/files/eq4352
извините, I'm having trouble viewing some of the videos and wonder if someone out there can help? I tried to go to the beginner lesson 7 most common russian verbs, for example, but can't view it. I get a status "waiting for www.screencast.com", and then after a minute or so I get "transferring data from www.amazon.com", and after about 4 or 5 minutes of waiting with a big white screen I give up. I went to screencast.com and could view their demo video, so I don't know what else to check. Any ideas? Спасибо, Gillian.
Today I've added a picture gallery for the Ice City in Yekaterinburg. You can take a look at it from Visit Russia Section.

On February 4th I turned 28 and I had a birthday party. I invited some of my good friends to a bowling center where we sat at a table where we were served food and drinks and also we had a bowling competition. I scored 135 points and was the winner! Apart from bowling we played Russian billiard and drank draft beer. A glass of beer cost 130 rubles (about $4-5 )That was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. I will upload pics later if you want.
Hope you liked the short story and now let's learn some useful words and expressions :
