First, reviewing-fixing the things I got wrong last time. Repetition works, Jag. Repetition works.

Мне нужно выйти из дома. (?)
Мне нужно показать себя.
Мне нужно поднять оружиы.
Мне нужно уехать.

Ты покажешь твоё горле.
Не покажете ваше горле.
Покажете мне вашю карту.
Они покажут их докуметы.

Я не хочу упражняться. Ты не хочешь упражняться. Не все не хочет упражняться! Но если я не упражняться, мне не можно говорить по-русски.

Я хочу говорить все языкы, но у меня нет все словы.

Мне нужно вспоминать [conjugate, damn. don't have that word] мои глаголы и [decline!] мои словы.

Я не хочу говорить о плохом деле.
Он не хочет слушить о плохом деле.
Мне не хочем сказать о плохом деле.

(Note to self, these do mean slightly different things, mind your verb usage.)


Okay. Um. ... I think that may have actually gotten easier over time. And then Kiki worked me around to realizing, in her own way, that it's a marathon, Jag, not a sprint. I don't need to be fluent in Russian right now, and it doesn't even need to be as easy as German is. Which is to say, I'm not fluent in German, but everything slots in at about twice the speed as it does for Russian. But none of this need be true right now. Slow and steady.

That said, though, I think ... probably, at least for now, starting at verb conjugations makes sense for constructing sentences, and then when I make mistakes, going back and addressing those errors by repeating the grammar point (noun declining, possessive pronouns) until it makes sense. Lather, rinse, repeat. Also this should probably go in tomorrow's check-in.

I'm warily hoping that things are calming down in my head and out of it now. They seem to be, at least at work. Improvement on one front is more than there was before, at least. And, um. No, I won't re-update just to list off the things I've done in German, so just, smack me if I don't put an ETA here in 6-7 hours describing the German I did? Спасибо.

ETA: Okay, I did about 20 minutes worth of translation, and will do another chunk after I'm done with work emails. Got one line translated into German, at least! Oi, this is slower work than I thought.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

Мне нужно выйти из дома. (?) is correct! из дому is also an option, and the difference is in the meaning. The first one is leaving a building, the second is leaving (going out of) one's home.

поднять оружие - usually, the combination ы + vowel goes with the other vowel last. I think. It looks odd as иы, anyway. >.> But that might be a typo!

Покажете мне вашю карту. -> Покажите - that's the imperative. The previous sentence can be correct with either.

Они покажут их докуметы. - is correct! Just wanted to note there is a difference between Они покажут их докуметы. (They show them (the) documents) and Они покажут свои докуметы. (They show their (own) documents.)

Не все не хочет упражняться! Никто не хочет!

но у меня нет все словы. -> всех слов, I think.

спрягать глаголы

Он не хочет слушить о плохом деле. -> слушать

Мне не хочем -> Я не хочу or Мы не хочем
and рассказать or говорить - сказать sort of works, but it's slightly off, as in "I don't want to say about the bad deed/thing."

... also at some point these just stop seeming like words.

Which is why I bolded the ones that weren't corrections, exactly! Anyway, yes. Marathon. Good long cross-country run. Which, in this season, is getting full with nice scents of waking up nature. Also your allergies don't exist. AHEM.

*snugs*

Hey, knowing the vocab and using it are separate steps for a reason. Also there's спрегать and there is склонять and things get mixed up!

That sounds like a good list for review, yes.

рассказать - yes, what you guessed, also 'narrate/tell as a story' - рассказ is a short story.

All the language that is Russian is a mess.
