Thought It's better not to use those short forms!! They sound a little weird!!!

I disagree. Short or long, this sounds completely screwed up to me, like a word for word translation from English.
Ты не можешь переключить язык. Можно переключить программу, тумблер, что угодно, но не язык. Переключиться на другой язык можно. Можно переключить язык в смысле переключения языка воспроизведения звукозаписи, но не в смысле языка общения.
Переключить язык - Maybe Its just a short form for "Переключить ту хрень, которая отвечает за изменение языка (в программе, через которую они общаются)"Quote:

Maybe a slangish thingy. Я уехал задолго до того, как русский заполонился англицизмами. Things have changed and I am not sure what they teach in class nowadays.
Computer slang. (I'm a programmer)Quote:

Пример: мне трудно переключиться с английского обратно на русский, когда я приезжаю в Москву из Штатов. (Вполне по-русски)
Спасибо ребята. Как всегда, русские спорят о собственном языке. 8)
Can you tell us:
What school is this? What city are you planning to go to? Is it a scam? Do you know how much a US passport will cost ya? Why do you ask about a short time if you're going to be there two years?
Yeah, cops are very polite in our country!
university of new mexico offers a study abroad program. No, it isnt a scam I have already met 2 people who have done it already, one of my other friends is doing it now as we speak. I recentally found out, Im can go home for summers :D They will give me the passport,I am saving money so just in case I have a little trouble I can get out of the country.I will also be in a fairly large group :)
Cops are nice you say, maybe 2 years isnt too bad. :D No, I dont have a criminal record in any way, but I have a hard time with rude police officers that think they can enforce the law and not be held accountable if they break it.
I walk about that much anyway cause of gas prices,(this kind of remindes me of new york) I've have lived in many big cities.
The cities we go to are random, so far, the majority go to St Petersburg, or Odessa and Moscow.
Ps is there any good russian movies? I can understand basic speech and I find that I learn quite abit from watching them with subtitles.
LOL. Prepare to spend a lot of time in jail then...Quote:

If I were in your shoes, I'd pick up SPb or Odessa (although it's not Russia, but the vast majority of people speak Russian there). In my opinion Moscow is too harsh city for a foreigner.
I would agree. I canQuote:

thats what I told the school people,ukraine isnt it. they said its like an area code I get a certian area to roam and it changes almost every 3-5 months. so I will get to go to 4 or 5 differnt cities and not all of them are going to be in Russia.
so if there was one in America New Mexico and Arizona can be one area then could be south New mexico and Mexico either way if you live in New Mexico you need to know some spanish.
I'm glad youre asking questions cause im having them answer and more fully explain things. :D
Come and See (very intense war movie, but I think one of the best war-movies ever made)
even better than Saving Priviate Ryan?do they come in english subtitles?
(strana slepoy vs strana glukhoy country of blind verses country or deaf who will win?joking of course)the movie is 8 of 10 and looks really good
Jeez! :roll: Certain scenes from the "private ryan" are a direct rip-off from the "come and see". FYI, Mr. Spielberg is not too shy to exploit the achievements of the international cinematography and has never been caught red-handed and sued for plagiarism, thanks to the notorious interest of the american public to foreign cultures and probably to the all-powerful gang of world-class lawyers behind him.Quote:

Yes, foreign films don't get the audiences in the US that they probably get in many other countries, but that's hardly important. All it takes is a handful of people to say,"wow, that bastard just ripped that whole scene off" to get some attention. The problem, though, is that I would imagine it INCREDIBLY difficult to actually go to court, invest all that money in what is a low percentage chance of winning the case, and then endure years and years of motions, legal jockeying, negotiations, etc. AND actually WIN, in ANY sense of the word... Presumably they'd basically have to have a video tape of Spielberg calling up Satan, asking him if he knew of any good scripts he could steal, then signing, for the camera to see, a deal that says "I, Steven Spielberg, hereby agree to steal scenes from the film "Come and See," with the aid of my good friend and business associate, Lucifer J. Satan."Quote:

However, I dont like when everything is credited to five or six people who just happen to be widely known. It's simply indecent, call me an idealist.
