Zombie Acorn.. Welcome to MR!
I had not realized that some of the videos were no longer valid!
As for your question... hmmmm.. I am not the best person to answer that as English is my native language. HOWEVER, I think it might be best to download the TV show of choice and then the subtitles and match them up together. That is what we tend to do with the Russian films

As for what TV shows.. I have often recommended Gilmore Girls as a very good show as it uses "real" American English and it is how people really speak. One on top of the other in half spoken, run on sentences. They also have a number of references to pop culture with music, film and books. One can learn a great deal besides English from watching this series. Also, the scripts for these are available online so you can read everything.

I know that House, M.D. is another one that is very well acted and has a great script.

Anyone else have suggestions?

Wow!!! We are doing pretty well here on our "little" thread. The nominations are out for the Golden Globes and look at how many of them we HAVE been posting about over the last year!!

Please feel free to post comments about any of these nominations or ones that you thought should have been nominated but were not.

English is my native language also, which is why I am clueless about finding good Russian shows (I see now that I wasn't very clear in my initial posting).

I have just started learning Russian and am now just trying to build a basic Russian vocabulary, not sure what TV shows are popular in Russia or if TV in Russia is anything like what we have in the US.

Ahhhhh. too funny, sorry about that. Let's try again shall we?
Way back on page 13, I had posted a listing of RUSSIAN movies and cartoons and such... most of which have ENGLISH subtitles. I just did a quick check of those and only one had a bad link and I fond a new link for that one. As it is WAY back on page 13, I guess I should repost it here for new comers to the thread like you!

The cartoons are not like the ones we have here in the US, the are VERY well done and you might want to start with those. If I remember correctly, there was a thread about subtitles not too long ago and most Russian shows do not have subtitles (if I am wrong, someone please jump in here and correct me). We also have a music thread and Playlist on YouTube which has a number of Russian songs. In the thread we have most of the lyrics. That might assist you in picking up a few words AND Lampada posts a great number of songs in Russian with their lyrics as well.

Now, back to watching things on YouTube, there is one user there who has a Channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/birubirFilms, there you can easily find many Russian films with English subtitles.

Rockzmom you are amazing!

I have wanted to see some of these films with subs, but I don't know how to find subs other than the standard subtitle sites, and they don't have a lot of Russian subs.
This is amazing.

Btw, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to learn from a film is definitely to watch it several times. Ideally first with subs in a language you fully understand. Then again with Russian subs to.

It is interesting to watch films in this way - the third time you watch a film you start noticing all sorts of interesting details.

Great! Thanks for all of the links!

Wow, thank you soooo much! Last time I saw that film was probably in the early 90s or something like that. I will watch it, for sure. I am going to find some Russian subtitles too, if I can, and expand my vocabulary a bit.

For learners: I have come to the conclusion that you can learn a lot by first watching the films with English subs, and then with Russian subs... Guaranteed to teach you at least a few new words. I recently watched an old Russian film in this way called "Gentlemen of Fortune". Class film and incidentally several characters speak quite slowly most of the time, and use very basic vocabulary. With Russian subtitles I was able to understand a lot of what was said.

I think, maybe, well yes.. I am finally getting around to watching "The Meeting Place Cannot/Should Not Be Changed" ... I know, me with the memory issues picks these hard things to watch. Well, I get to stop and start and watch it over and over until I figure it out and as I can watch them whenever I want and in bed and then ... I can ask you all for help if I still don't understand... it all works out ...right???

Anyway, rightaway because I still have not learned anything besides what, Спасибо and пока, I am having some problems... will someone help me?

The opening song, in "general" what it is about?
What does the sign at :21 seconds say?
What does the big sign at 1:12 seconds say?
Room 13, they zoom in yet don't translate what the room is for at 3:07... so what is that Office?

Great. It's a rare case when the movie is much better than the book.

The opening song, in "general" what it is about?

We stormed the city of Orel and marched through the city and we read the name of the last street. It has the name of Bryansk. Thus our next destination is Bryansk. Then we stormed Bryansk and marched through the city and read the name of the last street it was named after Minsk... then we stormed to Minsk and the last street was named after the city of Brest... then we stormed Brest and the last street was named after Lublin, then Warsaw, then Berlin.

What does the sign at :21 seconds say?


Glory to the victorious warrior.

What does the big sign at 1:12 seconds say?

It reads: We have won.

Room 13, they zoom in yet don't translate what the room is for at 3:07... so what is that Office?

Thank you! Ramil!

I am just amazed by the ice cream sandwich maker thingy at 8:50.... has anyone actually seen one in person? Is it still in use today?

At first I thought you were asking about the icecream itself. It's been very popular in Soviet times although I keep seeing it even novadays occasionally. It's not really a sandwich, just two thin wafers and a brick of icecream between them.



Of course those ones in my childhood vere tastier.

What concerns the 'maker thingy' - I don't think it is used now. There are sanitary regulations for one thing and besides, it's cheaper to do such 'sandwiches' at the factory.

Ahhh... we call them "ice cream sandwiches" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream_sandwich

Ice cream sandwiches are frozen desserts composed of a layer of ice cream of any variety "sandwiched" between two cookies or slices of cake

They now come with cookies too, but they just never seem to be as good as the old fashioned ones!

hehehe...as it is Christmas Eve here in the States... take a break from the traditional "It's A Wonderful Life" and enjoy "The Worst Noel" with Al Bundy and his family! http://www.megavideo.com/?v=928VTNYX

Here is the script if you need it or want it: http://www.albundy.net/marriedaniac/...ipt/0813t.html

That's not an opening song, Rockzmom. It's just a background song, it plays from a street radio loudspeaker.

BTW, Merry Gregorian Christmas to everyone!

Okay folks there is one major advantage to not being able to sleep at nights... watching the shows on TV! And this one goes hand-in-hand with Married with Children!

We've talked about 3rd Rock From the Sun before, so if any of you newbies don't know about this show, please go back in this thread and learn about it first before watching this episode, trust me it will help!

The Solomons experience their first Christmas. Merry Watching!

okay, next question about "The Meeting Place Cannot/Should Not Be Changed" ...

what is the book at 3:33? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbkT1TUcRIk
Note to anyone who might want to make subtitles... please include these little types of details!

Also, I know I have asked questions before about the habit of cigarette smokers when I was watching "Seventeen Moments of Spring"... I see that detective Gleb Zheglov (who I am really liking BTW) has a habit of blowing into the ends of his cigarettes. Why does he do this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6WIkIkMlZc start watching at 5:08 and then he takes out another cigarette and does it again. He has a habit of this throughout the episode so far that I have watched. And once again, as I have never smoked, I don't understand why one would do this.

He's reading "Криминалистика" ("Criminalistics") - a textbook on forensic science, investigation and interrogation techniques, etc.

As I'm not a smoker myself, I'm not sure about cigarettes (BTW, I think he smokes "papirosy" - cigarettes without filter). But I've heard that it has something to do with the quality of tobacco filling in Soviet cigarettes. It was either too dense, or maybe vice versa. You had to knead it a little, and to blow into it.
