Иван Иванов: Да, это правда, Презентер Презентерич! В Албании сегодня, Президент Путин заявлял, что после его отставки там он будет открывать новый одеждой магазин "Путь Путина," где Албанцы могут покупать модное белье по низким ценам.

Some of the anchors are ok, like the balding guy on Вести+ right now... One who talked really fast has short black hair and rectangular glasses...

Bald guy: "ЭтовсёВести+, спокойнойночи и... до...................... понедельник."

Дмитрий Петров (Вести) talks fine.

Haha I love the way he says Mercedes-Benz.

It sounds a little bit strange... not like a typical anchor speaks...

I don't think, that they speak too fast...in comparison with Андрей Малахов..but he is a tv presenter

Wowwwww, I understood nearly every word of that

Лена: no need for the comma there; just put "I don't think that they speak" or even just "I don't think they speak" (may not be technically correct, but everyone uses it).

Russian telly folks speak a lot faster than Limey ones.

It's a nightmare when business gets down to whether or not should I put a comma in some part of an english sentence. The rules in russian and english are absolutely different so (i'm thinking now about the comma before "so" ) it's always hard to make a correct choice.

I can see that. You use commas in lieu of the connective (don't know the proper term) 'that', don't you, e.g. "я знаю, я не красивый"? We cheerily ditch 'that' entirely from subjunctive sentences ("I know that I am here" -> "I know I am here" [-> "I know I'm here"]).

his new show is called "Малахов + Малахов"

Чувак, ты прав, намного труднее понимать фильмы, чем новости, потому что актеры бормочут. По меньшей мере, дикторы ясно произносят каждое слово.

Также хотел сказать, что все думают, что люди говорят слишком быстро на других языках, но после того, как осваиваются с языком, им не так трудно. Например, когда я начал заниматься испанским языком, мне казалось как бы люди стреляли слова из пулемета, но теперь, скорость речи не главная проблема для меня. Люди, которые занимаются английским тоже думают, что мы говорим быстро....

лучше - "мне казалось, что люди как бы стреляли словами из пулемета"

Result: 80% of the population doesn't understand what the reporter is saying.

80% of the population don't give a ... about much of what they say.

OK, no more smack-talking Fred; he was awesome.

EXACTLY.

I guess I am too old to know Mr. Rogers, but if he is what google says he is, then his audience is children.

Everyone knows who Mr. Rogers is... either because we personally saw his show or because we parents had to sit through that drivel while our kids watched.
