Hi guys.

THanks for your invaluable help, you have no idea how much you have helped me!

Oorah Pobieda!!!

How much have we helped you? I really have NO idea

lol, love Russian humour.

Well for starters I am doing a Masters in International Relations and Global Issues at uni. This is my first year and I am taking Russian language for begginers as a module. It is worth a lot of credits, and hence, if I fail Russian, there is a high chance I will fail the year due to the weight of the module. On the other hand, should I pass this module, there is a high chance I pass the year no matter how my other modules go.

Not to say im not studying for my other modules (which I am), but just to say Russian plays an important role in passing or failing the year.

So you could say you have helped me very much by helping a IR student pass his first year, possibly a diplomat in the making, and maybe the guy who is to sign an Anglo-Russian treaty for everlasting peace, prosperity and love!

Speaking of which, grammar exam on thursday, should be fun

Again, thanks.

Oh, and on a side note, how would you writte ''I have no siblings'', ''I do not like/I do not have''?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I have no sibling - У меня нет братьев и сестер. (literally "I don't have brothers and sisters" - there's no word meaning 'sibling' in Russian) or У меня нет ни братьев, ни сестер ("I have neither brothers, nor sisters")

I do not like - Мне не нравится... (about single object)/ Мне не нравятся... (plural)
I do not have - У меня нет...

Thanks you very much.

And finally, ''I like listening to music, reading and watching TV. I don't like studying, exams and stress''.

I know how to say like and don't like, just not the individual words and such.

Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Мне не нравится учиться, сдавать экзамены и перенапрягаться".

Your flair for diplomacy is pretty obvious. Hope you pass your exams and still remember some Russian afterwards!

Thanks. Its an old nic of mine I use on some forums. I usually have it with a picture of Lenin with the Kremlin in the background for added effect, but whitheld doing so here because I thought it could be offensive to some, so I chose being on the safe side.

I like your avatar/display pic. Old style cartoons have a beauty of their own that modern CGI ones simply do not match. Old style drawings rule

Thanks. I think it went pretty well. And yes my intention is to some point in my life becoming fluent in it. I have seen many films and the language just sounds so awesome!

Well, there is good news and there is bad news.

Good news is I passed my Russian exam. The bad news is I missed one of my politics exams and so have a deficit of marks to pass the year. I have decided to take both the one I missed and Russian again, as its worth the most marks, and any extra marks I get with the ones I already have will help me significantly.

Thus, there are some questions I have:

What is the difference between saying:

Я заинтересован в (I am interested in) and:

Я интересеуюь (verb интересоватьяся) ? How would you conjugate this for Oн, Oнa, Oнo and so on?

And if I wanted to say I like to do 'something' (the something being another verb, how would this be done?

Я любйть to watch (смотреть - смотретю?) Я любйть смотретю тедевйзор? (Is that right? - I know how to conjugate the first verb, but not the second one after that) How would this conjugation be done generally, say if I wanted to say:

I like to listen, to go, and so on? Do I leave the verb in the infinitive, or conjugate it as I would with I?

Oh, and another 2 verbs I don't understand the difference:

иэуцать - study (я иэуцаю) and заниматься -? (я занимаюсь?)

Thanks guys.

Also, is it appropriate I am listening to Чайковский ?
