Here's A Comp Of Completely Random Pictures In Russian That Make Me Giggle: Pt 2

So I was innocently watching a stand up about Russian language and found this comment. Even though it includes a lot of swear words, I thought it would be useful to people who have trouble remembering some Russian words. The stand up I was watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtMd6PbscwE&t=14s

Hi! Please do more of Evening Urgant or Improvisation videos.. I love watching them and they are really helpful for my Russian but I can't find them anywhere else online so I hope you translate more. You have an amazing blog keep up the good work!!

Hi! Absolutely! There's a lot of Evening Urgant content on the official Youtube channel (youtube.com/c/urgantshow), but unfortunately none of the videos are subbed. The Improvisation content is a lot trickier, there's almost no public access to the episodes online. I myself had a hard time finding the source, and the videos aren't subbed either. I already have a couple of episodes in my drafts. I'm going to translate them once I'm finished with all of my exams! Thank you for the feedback, it means so, so much!

is polyglot culture understanding a few words overheard in a conversation in a language you’ve never studied before between strangers in a public place because they speak a language that is from the same language family as a language you study and feeling a m a z i n g about it ?

I'm sorry for my excitement when you said Olezhka was an abuser. I though abuser meant he worked somewhere in IT.

The magic of the language...

Just a fun fact #2

In old Russian times, people used to say "спаси тебя бог" (spasi teb'a bokh), which literally means "God save you". But then, someone took the first and the last word from that sentence and put them together. This is how "спасибо" (spasibo) was created back in 17th century, and Russians use it as "thank you" nowadays.

Я шагаю по Москве - Никита Михалков

This song comes from the 1968 movie of the same name. It’s a good speed if you’re just getting used to listening to Russian and quite catchy :) Any feedback/corrections, please let me know! 

Бывает всё на свете хорошо Sometimes everything in the world is good В чём дело сразу не поймёшь You don’t immediately know what’s the matter А просто летний дождь прошёл And a simple summer rain fell Нормальный летний дождь Normal summer rain

Мелькнёт в толпе знакомое лицо A familiar face will appear among the crowds Весёлые глаза Cheerful eyes А в них бежит Садовое кольцо And in them runs the Garden Circle* А в них блестит Садовое кольцо And in them shines the Garden Ring И летняя гроза And a summer thunderstorm

А я иду шагаю по Москве, And I’m walking around Moscow, Но я пройти ещё смогу, But I can still go further, Солёный Тихий океан The salty Pacific ocean И тундру, и тайгу. The Tundra and Taiga.

Над лодкой белый парус распущу Above the boat I’ll set a white sail Пока не знаю с кем With who I don’t yet know Но если я по дому загрущу But if I start longing for home Под снегом я фиалку отыщу I’ll find a violet under the snow И вспомню о Москве And remember Moscow И вспомню о Москве… And remember Moscow…
