Oh, and I found a very neat thing. You probably all know, but it took me a while to think up trying it myself. I google in Russian and get the Russian wikipedia article. I find it very helpful. I googled "мессия гендель" and was able to get the text/scriptures in Russian. I will print this out for my friend. (Yesterday I googled "кларнет" and was able to learn the parts of a clarinet in Russian, so I could understand my friend as he talked about clarinets.
