I've been studing Russian for a little over two weeks now. After studing French and Spanish, it's much easier than what I first believed it would be. I hope to learn more from this community than what I would normally learn from my tutor.

Is anyone who lives in America, willing to write/talk/meet to learn and help develop Russian-speaking skills? I know of a few Russians around here (Easton, Maryland), but they are usually too drunk to really comprehend.

OK, guys, keep napkins close. Don't read it if you're hungry.

Бублики - bagels, but large ones, and usually with .... мак on top.
Сушки .... well .... a kind of pretzels ...
Пирожки .... pies the way decent Russian grannies baked them, yeast dough, different fillings - apple, meat, cherry, cabbage.

мак is poppy seeds (why don't you just use a dictionary? ;-)).
You don't have to translate пирожки, I've seen many PIROSHKI eateries across Northern America :)

You can send a special agent to find dictionary in my apartment - because I have time either to put things in order (навести порядок) either to stare at PC.

BTW, if anyone shoots a film about apartment robbery, or pogroms (yes, this word does have russian origin) - I can provide you with decorations for a fare price.0.

use multitran.ru - it is a good online dictionary, and it being online, you don't have to unearth it from a pile of kids' toys and underwear prior to use
;-)

Сruel. Only Russians can be that cruel to each other. Right now I understand why we, guys, had a civil war, revolution and ЧК.
