Taking life day by day 

Privet! Kak Dela?? Horosho??
(Hi! How Are You?? Good??) 

Wow, it’s April 24 now, yesterday was my 6th Russian lesson. I am still learning how to make simple sentences, only now they are longer & complex than before. I am also learning to distinguish feminin & masculin gender. I have ability and courage (now) to ask questions when I was shopping/ buying things at the market. That’s quite good..huh??!! Though I still have my tongue-twisted when I pronounciated some Russian words.

Here’s a little bit examples from my Russian lesson:

1.  My room is big and nice
     Moya komnata bol’shaya i horoshaya 

2.  Do you have a red pen or a red pencil ?
     U vas yest krasnaya ruchka ili krasniy karandash ?

3.  What do you want?
     Chto viy hotite? 

4.  How much is the price?
     Skol’ko eto stoit? 

Hmmmm not bad, right???!! It feels good when you know other language, even just a bit. One day, when I went to Yimpas, the supermarket, to shop daily needs, I greet the driver, with "Privet!", and he answered, and asked "Kak Dela?" and I answered "Horosho!", that’s a simple conversation, but somehow I’ve made a conversation. Before it was….only silence….hahahaha

Oh yeah, about my Russian teacher, Anya. She’s 23, and she’s studying Turkish language now at home. Her other activities are teaching me Russian 3 times a week, and having fun (I think…:P)
She has a dog and a cat with 3 kittens (additional information).
She’s nice, and such a good friend to me now. Today we planned to visit a market called Stovantan together (I will write about this later).

Here’s a pic of me and Anya at my apartment. By the way, she already has a boyfriend .

 

 

 

Dobroe Utro !! (Good Morning!!)

Yesterday was my 3rd Russian lesson at home. Now, I am beginning to learn how to create a simple sentence, for example : This is a book - Eto Kniga - ЭТО КНИГА and then I learn names of day in a week. Also I should know how to write them in Cyrillic (Russian alphabet).

From my lesson, I found that, it was difficult to pronounce the Russian alphabet, especially if it’s related with the sound of es, tse, she, or shye…and then zhe or ze. But after a while, a week practising, I started to learn how to distinguish their pronounciations. Though on some words I still got my tongue-twisted in pronouncing them…hehehe

Want to try to read the Russian alphabet with me??

А - A    Б  - Be   В - Ve   Г  - Ge    Д - De   Е  - Ye   Ж  - Zhe   З - Ze   И - i    К-Ke   Л - El   

М - Me  Н - En   О - o    П - Pe   Р - Er    С - Es    Т - Te   У - U    Ф - Vhe    Х- Khe   Ц - Tse  

Ч - Che  Ы - Uy   Э - e   Ю- Yu    Я - Ya   Ш - She     Щ - Shye

Having some difficulties ??? (some of the characters, are prounounced the same way in Indonesian, for example, R, you pronounce it "ER", in Cyrillic, you’ll write it "P")

My Russian teacher, by the way, is a young lady. Her name’s Anya. She’s a nice and a good teacher. Talk about her later
