I didn't understand that
We say "Где ты?" just so: "Gdeh tы?"

Я думаю, что у него там протяжное Гдееее
Если Гдеееее потянуть (как в лесу), е будет не такое выраженное, как в коротком Где?

Sounds great!

I was also toying with the idea of doing this for one of the other languages represented on this board. But first things first ... gotta finish up the Russian.

It seems to me that we already traveled to there.

Do you need help with sentences of the Lesson practice?

No, the lesson practice is sentences that Pimsleur says but all the material in them has already been covered. It's just a way to practice the material but with different phrases then the way it was presented originally.

Thank you for the help!

Bold letters from MS Word are not able to be pasted in the forum.

To make the letter bold, use tegs [ b ], [ /b ].
