If you're learning Russian and looking for a good way to improve your listening skills look no further. News readings slow and clear, plus you can read the transcripts if you don't understand something.
Если ты изучаешь русский язык, вот хороший сайт для улучшения устного понимания. Дикторы медленно и ясно читают новости, к тому же можно читать тексты в таком случае, если не понимаешь что-нибудь.

At this pace I can even translate it on the fly. You know, like they do at the UN and stuff.
Thakyou Mr Kiwi guy! I once had that site bookmarked but I lost it when my computer ****ed up!
Спасибо за связь
Not to pick on Blade here, but can you use связь in this context, or only ссылка?Quote:

Yeah, well, you weren't really that far off base -- I used to use связь (it's a pretty versatile word, nevertheless -- 7 different defs in lingvo) too, but then I found ссылка and I could never forget it again. Come to think of it, that should be posted as one of the weird Russian words to my ear "SSSSylka!" :D It makes me feel like a snake saying it...Quote:

В таком случае means in that case:
-Я сегодня занят, пиво отменяется.
-В таком случае я пойду в кино.
Cool website! I'll be sure to use it in the future. :D
