The right and proper use of learning Russian

[byslantedlight]

Am very excited. Just re-watched Stopover, and ... I understood what Radook said to Kodai at the end! The actual words! Turns out this learning Russian lark might be useful...

Also, got my picfor1000 challenge today. It's gonna be... challenging. But fun! I know I have about a thousand WIPs sitting around, but I'm feeling all inspired and spring-like about this one : )

Have also discovered the joys of Elizabeth Holden, Keynote Press Pros zines, and Rediscovered In A Graveyard by HG. And I am gonna post about them properly soon. As soon as my eyes stop melting.

Ah, well, I'm not that good - I've only had a semester's worth so far! But maybe this time next year. I'll have another watch of Dead Reckoning anyway. Actually I do remember near the beginning of my class watching an ep and thinking "Hey I understood that!" about another Russian bit somewhere. It was only something like "Understand me?" but I still thought it was cool!

Also near the end of Fall Girl the Russian guy gives a toast in Russian. The words are trainsliterated (is that the correct term?) on the Hatstand transcript, but there is no translation. I assume it is a traditional toast.

There's also a place where words were spoken in Russian that were supposed to be Polish or something like that. I can't remember exactly. I think it was pointed out on Dave M's site.

In light of this discussion I am chuckling to myself about the time where Ray spoke with a French accent and Bodie asked him if he had been taking French lessons. Ray said< "I give those!" Heheh.

Hmmn, had a look for this at Hatstand, but I couldn't find it - was it definitely Fall Girl?

My favourite has got to be Bodie's awful German-sounding Scottish accent... : )

Oh yeah - Vashe zdorovye - got it! Hmmn, don't know it off hand although I think you're right about it being a traditional toast. My dictionaries are all in the office so I shall have to check tomorrow...
