rofl. yeah that's a howler of a typo. I gotta stop writing these at three in the morning. -.-

+ 2 добавления к золотому списку. я почти достал до полпути! (на самом деле, я его и уже прошел, но я не рассчитаю индивидуальные слова, а просто линии по странице)

любопытные слова дня

шарикоподшипниковый - pertaining to ball bearings (super random, came across it on a page about Phonology)
раскатистый голос - reverberating voice
провалилось с треском - it was a complete fiasco
как сквозь землю провалился - it's as if he disappeared off the face of the earth.
потолок провалился - the ceiling collapsed
тщетные усилия - futile efforts
над башней торчит шпиль - the spire stuck out above the tower
недолюбливание - enmity
конфедерация не скупилась на расходы - they spared no expense (were not stingy on literally)


без счётной машины и пятнадцать в куб не возведут - It took me a while to work this out. I guess this is a challenge if anyone's interested.

(Кстати, моя драгоценная красноцветная ручка вернулась )

[vonPeterhof]

конфедерация не скопилась на расходы - they spared no expense (were not stingy on literally)

The verb should be "не скупилась" - "не скопилась" makes it sound like the confederation failed to save up enough money to cover their expenses.

Also, FWIW I didn't even notice that you wrote "хриплый волос" in that earlier post - I guess the word "хриплый" is so collocation-specific that my brain glossed over the misspelling

Сегодня добавил 25 слов в золотой список, но более важно сегодняшнего дня мероприятие - мелкий ремонт своей комнатушки. полная трансформация ))

Ура! я на полпути моих самых первых 1000 слов! Сегодня вечером добился 525!

Хотя настроения немножко нет, потому, что я сегодня с утра начал читать роман, называющий "огненная дорога". события имеют место в конце 14-ого века, и автор употребляет регистр очень верен оригиналу (который написан на английском) а вот из-за запаса слов я чуть не заплакал.

за первые 4 страницы встречаются следующие слова и фразы. Стоить отметить, что я конечно некоторые из них осознавал, но все таки мне надобилось задумываться на некоторое время.

"спросонья"
"сорвать завесу"
"пылкость"
"сверстник"
"роптать"
"лужица собственной слюны"
"уронить на грудь"
"жрец"
"левит"
"мошенник"
"солома зашуршала"
"с укоризной"
"изголодаться"
"внемлешь собственному предостережению"
"запираться"
"чёрная смерть скосила много женщин"
"целитель(ница)"
"непринуждённость"
"женитьба"
"похвастаться"
"девичий румянец"
"сокровище"
"силиться"
"настойчивость"
"самоотверженный"
"тюфяк"
"закутаться"
*"Воцариться"

I like your idea of transcribing articles -- how much has it helped your learning and in what way? The alphabet or vocab?

I've only just started learning Russian but it isn't too hard as I already speak Bulgarian.

удачи, мой друг

Привет! познай къде аз бях аха)))!

I'm fairly new to the scriptorium method so I'm not entirely sure of it's results yet, I'd need to get a lot more under my belt, but I like it a lot as it's essentially familiarising yourself with hundreds of thousands of grammatically perfect sentences right under your nose.

You can read more about Professor Arguelles who is the patron of the idea here.

аа как ти хареса?

Yes I was browsing some random Wikipedia articles yesterday and it seems like a great way to increase fluency, especially (aaages away ) when trying to get to C2 from C1 because the language is very specific. I mean when in your day to day life do you get to hear/learn about the different fish types and their organs in Russian?

Do you have any tips on where to find good articles to transcribe? Wikipedia seems too advanced for some of the languages I'm studying and I'd like to start with more basic articles from which I can use phrases in normal conversations.

Спасибоооо!

HEy buddy,

Yeah I went to sofia about 5 or 6 years ago, I can't exactly remember.

Wikipedia is a good start. Another good place, and I know it sounds silly, but..... Is childrens' books. Pick a subject you're interested in, and start from there. I'm sure you could download a few if there is a lack of resources around where you are!
If Russian is your goal there are tonnes, but I just happen to live next to a russian library in china, weird I know right.

And no, In china, I do not hear many specific Russian vocab words lol! I mainly meet them through reading!
