Thread: Привет всем!

Спасибо вам оба! I try to translate things literally because it's very difficult to infer meaning from words and phrases you don't know. More often than not, it confuses me. So I see "не так" and think "Not so" literally, but then we have "уж" which is... some sort of particle possibly. It's odd because I don't think there's an equivalent in English. Naturally that throws me off. I guess it's another thing I have to remember instead of question. :P

Rouloubole, How are finding Russian so far? I've been studying for about a year, but it's hard to keep up without any practical application. No one speaks Russian around me.

Wow, I've been studying for about two months. I try to learn new vocabulary, watch series, read a lot ( even if I don't understand, just practicing )

I think I haven't made many progress. I know declensions ( but not how to use cases, so it is a real problem for me, in french, my native language, it seems really weird. And I'm not even so good in French grammar, so it makes it harder. ) , and I know little present tense.

So you probably know a lot more than me ( even though I'm glad to see Russian has a lot of french words ahah ), but so far I find it very cool, and good to learn.

other than that, I hear and practice a little with my friend on skype.

I think you have made progress, especially since you started. I'm still struggling with the cases as well, but it's something you just have keep up with. I don't know much about French, but I do know "Приятно апетита" which came from French no doubt. :P
