    Yes, you are right.
    When pronounced alone, the final consonant sounds [t].
    When followed by another word, it is governed by the subsequent sound:
    над этим диваном [d], под столом [t], перед лекцией [d]

    Thanks for the help.

    One more translation. Are the perfective and imperfective used correctly here?

    --I'm thirsty.
    --What do you want to drink?
    --Please give me a glass of tea.
    --And I want coffee with milk and sugar.

    --Мне хочется пить.
    --Что вы хотите выпить?
    --Дайте мне пожалуйста стакан чаю.
    --А я хочу кофе с молоком и сахаром.

    Thanks,
    Z

    It's OK.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
