Lesson practice:
No I don't remember that. (use об этом (p.c.))
Нет, я не помню об этом. / Нет, я не помню этого. / Нет, я это не помню.
I don't know how to be going (идти) from here to there.
Я не знаю, как туда идти. ("from here" = "отсюда", but "отсюда туда" sounds badly)

but "отсюда туда" sounds badly - that's exactly how they say it in the lesson.

I'm not looking for translations of the "lesson practice" sentences. It is all material that Pimsleur has already covered in one form or another and I use it to practice. If you want to keep translating them it's fine though.

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 ].

I use Openoffice. It's free!

If anyone is interested in a copy of the original document in Openoffice or Word format send me a message. Specify which format you want.

Hopefully someday my Russian will be good enough to reply with. But it is not. Lesson practice is ALL words that were already discussed by Pimsleur. They are just using them with other words then the original time they were presented. I use the English sentences with no Russian to test myself as I should be able to translate it into Russian. If I cannot, I can look up what I am missing in prior lesson(s). It's not that I don't want it checked. It already has been from you folks. If a word changes form then I will add it to the lesson so it can be checked. Then while studying I can see the form changes.
I started these lessons when my son was in Little League. Between games and practice I had a few hours a week just standing around waiting for games to start, warm ups, etc. I felt it would be good use of that time to study Russian. So to me the lesson practice section is just a review.

Thank you,
Scott
