I had my first Russian lesson on Monday. I'm starting to pick up some of the Russian alphabet and learning a few useful words and phrases, though the concept of genders and cases freaks me out a little bit. We are taking it very slowly. I have discovered what I think might be my new favourite Russian phrase for a little while - 'ya ni panimayou', which means 'I don't understand'! =p My landlady and I could reach new heights of communication with this phrase.
when in doubt you can just yell louder and louder, "ENGLISH!"
ReplyDeleteforeigners always appreciate that... especially when you call them a foreigner in their own land
