Is it possible to do the opposite? I want to be able to speak and pronounce and have a full conversation speak fluently and all. But I don't neccessarily want to know how to read it.
I'm sure it's possible, but what's the point? You'll miss a lot and it's not practical (you wouldn't be able to read the signs, etc.)Quote:

PS. An easy and fun way to learn Russian alphabet (by the courtesy of Dogboy 182 :)):

dude, that's just stupid. are you going to write down all your new words in translit?
sit down and learn the alphabet. it will take like a day and you'll be thankful you did
So no dictionaries, no online materials of any kind except audio, no homework ( no read -> no write ), just talk to teacher from time to time and listen to tapes? Sounds scary, like rosetta stone.Quote:
