learn_russian2 questions:
I have a penpal in Russia for class; her email adress is maria@, but she signs her letter as Mаша; I thought that Maria was short for something else, or am I wrong?
2nd question: Anyone here know some simplish fencing calls in Russian? Just basics like on guard, ready, fence, attack from the right/left, parry, reposte, counterattack, and remise would be enough :P

Буквальный перевод на русский упомянутых Вами выражений соответственно: "К обороне" (но скорее скажут "к бою"), "готов", "бой!", "атаковать справа/слева", "парировать/защищаться", "контратаковать", "отступить"/"отступать"
