thanks for all the feedback on "hoorah" and the like! спасибо!!

now i'd like to know if there is any website or database that would have russian equivalents (including gender) of words like "corset" and "bodice" and other nouns, verbs, and phrases of fashion/garment-making nature.

ALSO: in english, we can make adjectives out of virutally any noun using "-like." is there any way of doing this in russian?

(sorry...because i've suddenly found the time, i'm trying to compose an entire journal entry in russian. i feel like i've neglected my studies, and this is sort making up for it)

thank you all for your patience.

I recently read that a mere 1.5% of people studying a foreign language in the United States are studying Russian!

On that note, I have gotten my friend interested in learning Russian now and possibly going to Russia. She bought a Russian CD and book, and she studies every night. She is still trying to master the alphabet, but she is so excited to be able to read and learn Russian words. It seems to have opened up a whole new world to her, and I am excited to see yet another person interested in this magnificent language!
