the madness of russki glagioli

[arrestthisman.livejournal.com]

Can anyone recommend a website that lists Russian verb conjugations, or acts as a guide to Russian verbs? (I'm talking free sites; I could always buy one of those "500 Verb" books, but I'm being cheap.) Sometimes puzzling it out with the textbook is just not working.
Thanks, all.

I say just buy the book. It's indispensable!

I would have to second that!

It doesn't seem to have Russian at the moment, but http://www.verbix.com/ may in the future.

It's better to learn how to conjugate verbs on your own before investing in one of those "500 Russian Verbs" books, anyway. :)

duder, when I was teaching Russian at my uni here in Canada I was using this site (http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/language/) as a reference a lot. I've also had a chance to check out a bunch of other free Russian grammar sites on the net. Most of them would serve as a reference only and would never be a substitute for a good grammar book.

hey, here is a question for you ;) When I used to attend English classes teachers would use a lot of humour and basically make us laugh our asses off. Do they do the same kinda thing when they teach Russian over there? ;) Cause I see a lot of humourous points...like the Russian word for "how?" - short wovels are damn important here ;)

My Russian profs were always serious and it was the English students who tried to liven things up with obnoxious questions and such. They would laugh at our comments and such, but they were never the source of the joke, we were. We even made fun of words- a sharp KAK for "kak de la"... We even tried saying "dobrei den" in a deep sexy Russian voice...

I think how weird us Americans are in the face of the rest of the world and it's very very funny.

honestly i tried to look at the language with the eyes of a student, and then i realized how funny Russian really is ;) regardless, humour is only good if it helps digest some of the hard stuff about the language ;)

I will still never get over my teacher's speech on "How the Kak is your best friend".

That's disturbing!! AIEEE! But Cherez will always be my fave thingie.. i would always think of fruit and giggle for some reason..

And our joke phrases were:

смелиы русскиы хор (Smelly russkiy whore.. har har)

and:

Слабиы как сахар (Slobby cocksucker).

Eh, we're perverts.. so what! :D

xox

Try that.
To me, Russian, it seems to be an absolute verb expert.

It's odd that for all the languages that site does have, it doesn't have Russian.

Bandelero, many thanks!
