Are there a lot of Russian people in your grade?
In my grade ? i don't know, but in my school there are three or 4 hundred russians / ukrainians.
In my second period it is just all russians and then me, and then some guy who just moved here from like kenya.
I dont think that people in russia realize how many russians are living in america. Usually they wont believe me when i say it. They have their own apartments, towns, churches, shopping centers, banks. It's kinda cool.
I wish .Do you speak without an accent?
On shorter words /phrases, i don't have an accent (and i don't have trouble saying ы or anything either.)
I guess i don't really have an "American" accent, but i still have one, of course because i have only been speaking russian for 1 1/2 years, but i think my pronunciation is rather well. But having an accent is one thing that
does bother me. I hope to someday get rid of it completely =). Even though i fool russians almost everyday. I can pass for a russian if i try hard enough. Infact... there is a whole thread dedicated to this http://masterrussian.net/mforum/view...t=2151&start=0
Infact, i fooled two girls today ! teehee!
And there are acually a few sound bites of me flaoting around on this forum... But i think some of them may be even a year old ! If you
really want to hear, i can just record something new =).
