learn_russianPrivet everyone! Is there anyway to search this journal's archives?? IF not, can someone repost the lyric's to Gena's birthday song??
Also, since I've been in Russia, I've met many Russians eager to learn and speak with a native English speaker (moi!). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make such interactions as helpful as possible?

Date: 2006-04-01 04:56 am (UTC)Пусть бегут неуклюже
Пешеходы по лужам,
А вода - по асфальту рекой.
И неясно прохожим
В этот день непогожий,
Почему я веселый такой.
Припев:
Я играю на гармошке
У прохожих на виду...
К сожаленью, день рожденья
Только раз в году.
Прилетит вдруг волшебник
В голубом вертолете
И бесплатно покажет кино.
С днем рожденья поздравит
И, наверно, оставит
Мне в подарок пятьсот "эскимо".
Припев:
Я играю на гармошке
У прохожих на виду...
К сожаленью, день рожденья
Только раз в году.

Date: 2006-04-01 07:17 am (UTC)I find I need to be quite firm about keeping it in Russian - in fact with one friend I get him to review the homework that I do (I am trying to teach myself at home as I have been unable to find a teacher in my town). When we do this it is very helpful! I think until my Russian gets to a conversational this will be a problem, but it is quite difficult to get it to that level since I so rarely converse in the language - even though I live in a town where I am the only native English speaker!
I guess my only suggestion is to be firm, or offer a language exchange.

Right now we will use English. Next hour we will use Russian. Third hour we will use insert your language here.
If you accidently used a word from wrong language for THIS hour - pay one dollar.
It works for me :)

Date: 2006-04-03 04:17 pm (UTC)A few days ago, I met a native Russian on the campus of my school who wants to improve his English. His undertanding of English and his vocabulary matches mine. We sit in a cafe with wireless internet and use Мультитран when we don't understand each other. We don't know enough of each other's language to speak for a full hour at a time so we have more back and forth. This way has been the most helpful for me.

Date: 2006-04-03 05:50 pm (UTC)I live in Klin, it is about 2 hours northwest of Moscow, on the way to Peter.
I do really enjoy my job, the town in pretty dull though. I will stay for another year in Russia (I have been here about 7 months), but I think I will move to Zelenograd next year.
You are also in Moscow? How are you liking it? If you ever want to visit a Russian town, you are welcome!
