Dictionaries: OXFORD. If you see an Oxford dictionary, buy it. I can't recommend Oxford dictionaries enough; I've yet to find one that was quite up to the standards set by them. heart

Eccentric Iconoclast My Russian Oxford dictionary is so beat up from overuse that I had to duct tape it back together. mad D Twice. Yeah, on the inside of the spine mrgreen . Okay, I only know basic Russian and I want to start to learn seriously now, there's only so much you can do with free online courses and I have huge trouble with pronouncation without sound. Any suggestions on what a good CD course is (at a reasonalble price) and preferably in the UK (I'm leaving the Netherlands soon). I'm looking for something similar to the Hugo series, '(Language) in 3 months'. I find the German one very good. RU is the first language I tried to study (I was 12 and I stopped quick - learnt few phrses and saw the alphabet), so I guess, learning RU would be fulfilling a childhood dream.

Transliterated, it's "portnoy," but it's pronounced "partNOY" because of the syllable stress. mad D

Eccentric Iconoclast Transliterated, it's "portnoy," but it's pronounced "partNOY" because of the syllable stress. mad D A question. While learning, you discover new words all the time. And there isn't aways a underlined/colored letter to indicate stress. Unstressed O's get me all the time So my question is as such... Is there any way to tell (or a rule) what syllable/letter should be stressed by looking at a word you have never seen before?

All I know is that there are rules and standards, and that I understand them subconsciously now. It's not random, but I don't know how I know what the stress is, but I'm up to about 90% accuracy guessing. mad D
