General Russian

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what you input would be for commonly spoken words in Russian. Although I'm blessed with only 1 native speaker at this moment, It'd be more beneficial if I could get a collection of nouns and verbs and perhaps some useful phrases that would help in a conversation mostly designated to language programs, school, and living in foreign countries. Already I know the words for the above, but it'd be pretty awesome if I could stop saying skazat' 8 million times in place of a word I don't know. :-)

P.S. Does anyone else here make mistakes with russian wording; I.E, not expressing themselves "Correctly" in a russian sentence?

You may add me as a friend and I will try to hel you )

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

thanks. )

[berzerg.livejournal.com]

So? Come on. Just comment smth in my journal and let's start di lessons )

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

you can talk to me by icq: 865313

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

I don't have ICQ, but thanks. I've got MSN though.

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

MSN isn't popular in Russia :(

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so, is aim? And what does ICQ stand for?

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

i didn't understand both of your questions :(
can you repeat them more clearly?

you don't know what is ICQ?
well, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQ

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

I'll have to get that. What I meant was ,"Is aim abundant in Russia like ICQ is?"

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

ufff
i don't know what is aim
you talk about http://www.aim.com/ ?
i see it for the first time in my life

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I was looking at. It's pretty simplistic. I like it, but of course I have to use the free version. Is ICQ free?

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

yes, of cause ICQ is free
you can download icq5 client from their site
but that client has a lot of commercial
i would recommend:
QIP (qip.ru, only for ICQ)
Miranda (it can be used for ICQ,AIM,MSN,Jabber,Yahoo,IRC,Gadu- Gadu,Tlen,Netsend And more... )

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Their site is qip.ru?

[wiwi.livejournal.com]

QIP: http://qip.ru
Miranda: http://www.miranda-im.org/

Just about everyone who's learning the language, I expect.

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

I see. It's normal atleast. )

[oryx_and_crake]

It's perfectly normal for every language learner, regardless of the language.

I will recommend to read more - this will help you to gain a certain "feeling of language". You can also try to read somebody's LJ in Russian, especially if they agree to give you some explanations about what this or that word or phrase means. You are welcome to try mine, for example.

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

+1.
You can try mine as well. Not that my Russian is exactly "correct" (I like unusual wording,) but anyway. Feel free to ask anything anytime. The most horrible thing that can happen is that I don't answer right away :)

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Indeed, I'll add you. Are you a native speaker, or a student?

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

A native speaker.

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Wicked. :-)

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I added you with my russian journal. I don't update all the time, but it's fairly frequent.

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

I'll definately try your's. I've a few people on my friend's list who write in russian, but one more would make it better. I'll add you, ok?

[oryx_and_crake]

Sure, you are welcome. Don't hesitate to ask for explanations if you have any questions.

[kragoth.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :-) Oh, and I'm going to add you with my Kragotik account, that's my russian journal.

[paintmylover.livejournal.com]

I couldn't help but browse through your journal- and I CANNOT believe you're only 15. I'm 16, and I've never met anyone near my age who's interested in Russian. Add me? =)
