    Yulia and Lampada,

    Thanks for your help. I agree lists of rules are only a guideline while using and hearing the verbs in real life will eventually clear things up. In the meantime, these are some more from the same exercise:

    Я очень хотел бы (to learn) водить машину. --научится
    Отец (is studying) очень интересную проблему на работе. --изучает
    Мои друзья (occupy themselves with) спортом. --занимаются
    Этот учитель (teaches) их французкому языку. --учит
    Бладимир Александрович (teaches) нам географию. --преподаёт

    There's also a translation at the end of the chapter: "I would like to learn to speak Russian well". Would this be-- Я хотел бы научить хорошо говорить по-русски. ?

    Thanks,
    Z

    (Correct, but мягкий знак should be used, since it is an infinitive)
    Отец (is studying) очень интересную проблему на работе. --изучает
    (Correct)
    Мои друзья (occupy themselves with) спортом. --занимаются
    (Correct)
    Этот учитель (teaches) их французкому языку. --учит
    (Соrrect, "обучает" is also possible)
    Бладимир Александрович (teaches) нам географию. --преподаёт
    (Correct)

    There's also a translation at the end of the chapter: "I would like to learn to speak Russian well".
    Would this be-- Я хотел бы научить хорошо говорить по-русски. ?
    (" Я хотел бы научитьСЯ ...", since "научить" implies you want to teach others to speak Russian well.
    To convey the meaning of learning, you have to choose the reflexive verb "научитьСЯ")

    Thanks,
    Z
    Excellent job! keep hanging in there!

    i just noticed a typo in the name "Владимир". The first letter should be "В".

    Thanks again, Yulia,

    This is the last part of the exercise:

    Я хотел бы (to teach) в институте в Ленинграде. --научить
    Ваня молодец. Он (has learned all there is to know about) алгебру, химию, физику и англиский язык. --изучил
    У кого ты (аre studying) американской литературой? --занимаешься

    In this chapter, the possessive adjective/pronoun свой is introduced also. I'm a little confused about these two sentences. Is it the same answer for both?

    Я мало знаю о (my own) дестве.
    Мы обычно рaботали в (our own) кабинете. --своём for both?

    Thanks again for any help,
    Z
