Russian authors

By Louis Patterson


Russian is among the wealthiest languages of Europe. There are plenty of countries where Russian is spoken widely, like the nations that were part of USSR like Ukraine and so on. Many people are heading to Russia for several purposes. Some of the people go to study, some of us have their business and some go to just visit the country. Since, Russia is geographically away from the Anglo countries, their script and pronunciation is significantly different from them. Actually most east Western european nations have different pronunciation from the west EU countries.

Like French, Russian words have masculine and female words. Additionally , their script is marginally different. The reflexive pronouns in Russian may be employed in a considerable number of strategies. Some words like 'sebya ' (self) may be used to denote someone in first person, 2nd or third person. It describes the link between an action and the person performing it. Also 'sya ' can be added as a suffix to a verb to get different words with same meaning. These pronouns are neither number nor sex definitive. Nevertheless its use changes with a change in case.

It is indeed helpful to know basic Russian when you are looking to visit Russia. This is down to the fact that English is not very widely spoken here. So , it helps if you know some basic Russian. Moreover, after you begin to learn the language, you may develop an abiding interest in the life and culture of the country.

There are numerous popular Russian philosophies that you can read about if you know the language. You can even enjoy the music that symbolizes Russian culture.

There are numerous tutorials available on the net which can help you learn Russian. It might be a little easier for you to learn because the sentence constructions are rather like English.

One of the best techniques of learning Russian is thru pictorial reference of the words through flash cards. The flash cards have a word on it with an image of the object that word describes. Common words like fresh bread, bus stop, train line station and so on. Are printed on it.
