'how do you say....?' help

[ephraim-oakes.livejournal.com]

Hi y'all,

I have to do a brief presentation about a family member later this week, and i need some vocab that my teacher can't seem to help with. So, i figured i'd ask you all.

So far, the words i need are "performance art" "performance artist" "nightlife" and "day job" (as in the job that an artist takes just to pay the bills, but unrelated to their career choice).

Somehow i thought that picking my most eccentric family member would make this assignment easier rather than harder...

Sentences

I'm trying to learn some prepositions, or well rather expressions including prepositions, and I made some sentences that I hope you can help me correct! I am not very interested in different ways one can say these things, but rather if what I've said is ok, and if not, the simplest way to say it! Thank you :)

ко времени (by the time) - Ко времени я это узнала, было уже слишком поздно. (By the time I knew this, it was already too late.)

Обо всём (about everything) - Она немного знает обо всём/Она что-то знает обо всём. (She knows a little bit about everything/She knows something about everything)

--> Also, could someone please explain the difference between что-то и что-нибудь?

Со дня (since the day) - Они несчастные со дня когда умерла их собака.

There will be more later on :)

Здравствуйте!

Привет всем!

Меня зовут Лесли, я только что создала этот ЖЖ–аккаунт для своих записок на русском языке. Я уже несколько лет изучаю русский язык, но я все–таки постоянно ошибаюсь, и я надеюсь, что участвие в этом сообществе будет мне полезно!

Начинаю с вопросом:
Какая разница (если есть) между "снова," "еще раз" и "опять"?

И если хотите, добавьте меня в ленту друзей! У меня пока нет русскоговорящих друзей на ЖЖ, как грустно. Ищу друзей, которые часто пишут в своих "журналах" по–русски...

Hi everyone!

My name is Leslie, and I just started an LJ account for my notes in Russian. I've been studying Russian for several years, but I still make mistakes all the time, and I hope that participating in this community will be helpful (and also hope I can help others)!

I'll begin with a question:
What's the difference (if there is one) between "снова," "еще раз" and "опять"?

And if you'd like, friend me! I don't have any Russian-speaking friends on LJ yet, how sad. I'm looking for people who write in their journals in Russian with some frequency.
