kittydesadeRussian. What is with having to make up and translate dialogues these days? Argh!
Вы говорите по-английски?
1. Start up a conversation with someone at a party in Moscow and make as much small talk as you can. If your partner talks too fast, explain the state of your Russian to slow the conversation down. When you have run out of things to say, close the conversation properly. (This may be better done in Skype, but. Eh.)
Добрый день! Меня зовут Кити. А как вас зовут?
Меня зовут Антон. Очень приятно. Вы американка?
Да, я живу в Северном Каролине. Где вы живёте?
Я живу в Москве. Вы говорите хорошо по-русски.
Спасибо. Я немного знаю русский язык, а говорю неплохо по-испански и по-французски.
По-испански и по-французски? Вы любите международные отношения? (This was supposed to be enjoy foreign languages but ... I’m extrapolating? Possibly badly.)
Да. Что вы изучаете?
Я изучаю историю и социологию. Я люблю философию тажке.
That looks like such a little bit of dialogue for the amount of time I put into it. Argh. Feelings of inadequacy.
... That said, that's an awful lot of cyrillic.
Anyway. On further note, I am heading out tonight for Atlanta for a Nightwish concert! I will probably be incommunicado from about noon EST till maybe 5 or 6 when we get to the hotel, on briefly, and then off as we head out to dinner and a concert. And then we're leaving back to NC the next morning, so. Drunken twits will definitely ensue, and drunken tweets may also ensue! You have been warned. CSI: NY and SPN will be downloaded from... wherever.
