RL101 - 6 The Next Five - 2/3 of the way.

The next instalment of Viktor Huliganov's acclaimed Russian alphabet course. After this lesson your knowledge of Russian letters increases from 17 of the 33 to 22 of them. With these it is now possible to write and read just about every other word in Cyrillics.

As ever, there is a joke and a song after the lesson. You don't get that at University.

@ZwolfZki I know. It's so mean to keep asking for discounts!

You forgot to frown in this video LOL! I mean xa xa xa xa!

Great Elvis. I thought these songs are supposed to help us learn about Russian culture. You're ok, Huliganov. Spasiba.

@Batyaboo The first view weren't all in Russian, as I was just getting the hang of what I was doing.

Hi, again thank you for another lesson. I had a quick question about замок. If замок can mean both 'cousin' and 'lock', then how would you know which word it is if you were for example, reading a russian book. Also, are there many words in Russian that are spelled the same but are different due to stresses?

[usenetposts]

@sUnnydUcks123 That's down to context, context is everything. For example, in Japanese the word "hana" means "nose" and "flower", but if you said "I'm going to take a bentou box and look at the hana in the park" people would realise that you probably weren't going nose-spotting in the park. It would be too Gogolian.

These stress pairs in Russian are not as common as homophones in English, but you still ned to keep a look out for them. The worst is pisAt' and pIsat', by the way.

@Holypomps It's my KGB training.

@usenetposts So that's why the USSR collapsed vis-à-vis the CIA and MI6 :-) Nice joke, by the way.

I have one question, why do you speak english with a very strong accent although this accent disappears when you sing or tell jokes imitating an american?
