Gas and Electric Vocabulary

[rpeate.livejournal.com]

I thank you kind persons for your help last week with my tutoring problem. Now my question is: where can I find English vocabulary related to factory gas and electrical matters with corresponding Cyrillic translations? Is this an impossible quest? My tutee works in a cement factory, and is in charge of safety. He needs English vocabulary relating to the factory's gas and electrical systems, and I need to be able to teach them to him, hence the need for Cyrillic. I suppose even pictures would work. I will search for pictures for such terms. In the mean time, I thank you for any useful words you can offer!

Let's say I wanted to learn the Russian words for these things. Where would I look? Perhaps I can reverse it.

I know there's a bunch of people on this community who have some negative feelings about Lingvo and its reliability (although i personally can't imagine life without it), but if you download a free trial from lingvo.ru it has technical dictionaries for that kind of thing.

Looking at this page, and keeping in mind that I do not know Cyrillic at all, which one would you recommend? I'm thinking I should refer my student to this site, and that he would fare better with it than I would.

As a first step, I would suggest learning the Cyrillic alphabet. It'll make everything else easier.

Wow. But what can I do with that?

IMO, learning cyrillic is easier and more useful than transliterating everything back and forth. learning cyrillic is really, really easy and i don't see why people are intimidated by it. just get a beginning russian book out of the library or something.
