I mean, a lot of words seem similar, but the pronounciation isn't really similar sweatdrop I've spoken Russian my entire life andI've been told that I speak Spanish without an accent as well ninja I don't really find the pronounciation to be similar... that's just my opinion though sweatdrop

gamestergirl Russian words sound a lot like spanish words. Like Matematicas in russian is thge same in spanish. just spelled differently. Actually, I always thought of them more akin to Italian. Something about the usage of vowels blaugh Mivi Proudly_Jewish привет smile *finally figured out how to get Russian letters on her computer* ninja Cool! I've tried many times, but haven't gotten it yet. >.< How do I get it? o.o It would make it a lot easier to talk to my sister. Try this website: http://www.apronus.com/internet/ruskey.htmIt's a little easier than actually installing a keyboard pack and glueing all those stickers and stuff. saxophonicus ive seen a lot of russian literature, but since i cant understand the alphabet, i cant even read it in russian I have a basic guide to the alphabet up on my website. Obviously, you can't really get the sounds, but at least you get the general idea: http://www.weirdnessandstrife.com/knowledge/languages/russianalphabet.htmlFor anyone interested, I also have counting in Russian: http://www.weirdnessandstrife.com/knowledge/languages/russiancounting.htmlAnd basic phrases useful for travel: http://www.weirdnessandstrife.com/knowledge/languages/russian.htmlA helpful website related to Russian music is russmus.net. Of course, most people there Russian enthusiasts or actual Russians, so you can ask about all sorts of other things such as movies, culture, or the language itself. I hope this helps!

I didn't, but whatever. >.>
My friend, who's Belarusian, said that in Russian grammar were not that important sometimes, like in the sentence 'I don't know'. She said it could go 'I know not' or 'I not know'. I can't remember it the examples she said were those, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say, that a Russian phrases and sentences could go different and still mean the same thing. Now, my question: is that true? Or did I just get what she said wrong?

Why is it that I can understand words if I look at Cyrillic (Not all of them, just, the words I know, which is a negligible amount BUT SOME NONETHELESS >:\), but, if you give me the alphabet individually I"m just, gonk ?
Crap, I'm learning them as a whole, not phonetically D:.

the 'c' is pronounced like an 's' in German or English. That second letter (п) is pronounced like an English 'p'. An 'o' is pronounced like the German 'a' when it is not stressed. (The stress lies on the 'cи' here) What looks like a capital 'N', but smaller and mirror-inverted (и) is pronounced like a German 'i' or an English 'e'. The next one (б) is promounced like a 'b' and then comes an 'a' that is pronounced like the German 'a'. It means thank you. Can you figure out the pronounciation of the whole word?
