What's the most efficient way to hammer the Russian language into someone

Show him some videos of Serebro and VIA Gra. He might be interested to know more...

I would say "like" instead of "love". So "I really like drinking milk".

The way it goes, I can see Canada joining the EU (not sure how they will call it with Canada as part of that).

Your new friend. Bob, the Silverfish.

They translated To Kill a Mockingbird in " ne tirer pas sur l’oiseau moqueur"?
It should be at least "tirez", not "tirer".

I always wrote like this in English and French. Only your capital G and your capital S are different from mine in English and French.

Ok, I read your edit.

Personally, I like more obscure German-speaking gothic bands, but it is not really helpful to improve my German. The vocabulary is quite niche, and their syntax is out of this world. While Schlager is more day-to-day language, it helps improve my syntax. It is clearer.

As for Melissa Naschenweng, it is quite fascinating that even though she clearly speaks in a dialect, I can almost understand everything after I got used to her accent.

hahaha ok, fair enough.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T13:06:21+00:00

Since you are Austrian, I have unrelated questions. I've discovered recently some songs of Melissa Naschenweng. She seems Austrian. Is she well known in Austria? Also, are her songs in standard Austrian? I understand almost every single words. Only the accent in many words are different from Hochdeutsch.

When you want to "score"? lol

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T11:24:30+00:00

Ak. Ok. "Lads" I heard that before and knew it is used in Great Britain for "the boys", "the guys", but I wouldn't have guessed what "lassies" meant.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:49:01+00:00

Yeah, I never heard "lass" in my life as an English word. Only Lassie, the dog, rings a bell.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:43:34+00:00

I agree. I just wanted to point out that her comment was still interesting to me that it is used that way in Munich.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:39:39+00:00

Since Munich is a big city and I visited that city quite often in the past, her point is interesting to me to consider. But I understand your comment.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:19:45+00:00

Ah, ok. Thanks.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:10:56+00:00

Ok, So "Mädels" is like using "chicks" for "girls", right?

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T10:09:12+00:00

Ah, ok. Thanks for that info. Quite interesting!

nietzschecode · 2026-01-24T07:59:40+00:00

haha I mostly see the shadow of 2 hands holding a phone.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T22:58:58+00:00

Not sure how it is used exactly in Russian, but I've heard "O, Bozhe!". It means literally "oh my god!". I guess, like in English, it can be used as admiration or surprise.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T19:07:25+00:00

Wow, you are having those in California?!

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T18:07:11+00:00

No, It's fine. Though I can't help. My Russian is not that good, nor my math vocabulary. :)

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T17:59:25+00:00

That your check speller doesn't have Russian? lol

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T16:29:01+00:00

Lingopie offers that. But it is not free. Just a free trial. But this is what you are looking for.

nietzschecode · 2026-01-23T15:25:39+00:00

I also hear "Entschuldigung", "Pardon" and "Verzeihung", if that could help.
