Hello!
My name is Marina. My native language is Russian. If you have any questions about Russian language, feel free to ask. As for me, I study English at the University professionally, and sometimes I have some questions concerning for ex. slang, some grammar details, dialects etc. So, Here my goal is to find people(especially from English-speaking countries) who I can help with their Russian and from whom I can get help with my English. So, what do you think? :) Me in SKYPE: marina.ko3 Edited by Marina8 on 26 December 2010 at 6:50pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Могу посоветовать всем, кто учит русский, попробовать произносить на скорость русские скороговорки(My advice is to pronounce Russian tongue twisters with high speed). Например(for ex.):
Сшит колпак не по колпаковски, его надо переколпаковать. Кто его переколпакует, тот будет хорошим переколпаковщиком. ... Ехал Грека через реку. Видит Грека в реке рак. Сунул в реку руку Грека. Рак за руку Грека - цап. Кто-нибудь знает английские скороговорки?(Does somebody know any English tongue twisters?) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Heres an English tongue twister:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? All English children learn this one from their Mums. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Ken!
Nice tongue twister, I like it. So, what's your reason to study Russian? What do you find the most difficult in this language? We can discuss it. Can you write in Cyrillic on your computer? By the way, did you understand, what I had written in Russian above? Look, I am to translate a kind of dialog, but I just can’t translate this phrase: “he’s got it made in the shade here” - what does it mean? The whole part is: “Man, what a freeloader. You better do smth quick or he’ll never hit the road. After all, he’s got it made in the shade here.” I understand everything but “he’s got it made in the shade here” P.s. Could you correct me, If I did any mistake in writing above. You may try to write smth in Russian, and I will correct you. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

“Man, what a freeloader. You better do smth quick or he’ll never hit the road. After all, he’s got it made in the
shade here.” Hi Marina, this is American English rather than English from England - and it is quite sloppy. i.e. the speaker is busy trying to use cool slang but loses precision in doing so. In replacing it with proper English the meaning is improved but the self posturing of the speaker as a cool dude would be lost (!). Proper English: "My God," (or other exclamation). "What a sponger. You had better act fast or he will never leave. After all, he has an easy life here". (Or alternatively you could say in English slang: "After all, he has got a cushy number here". "Made in the shade" was the title phrase which came from the name of a Rolling Stones rock album from 1974. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_the_Shade). It was meant to imply that the band was living in relaxed luxury while they made the record...which implication links back to the meaning of your original text. Was that helpful? PS. I have No Idea what your Russian text meant! 1 person has voted this message useful |
