    Memorize Russian Poetry in Russian and English 2 years ago

    Since this is a big undertaking to expect myself to speak fluently at this point given my other tasks in life, I am going to maintain the knowledge I do have not only by listening to the podcast, but also working on memorizing a few Russian poems. I found a great site that translates them into English and also has the audio files. http://max.mmlc.northwestern.edu/~mdenner/Demo/endtobegin.htm

    I may also make a nice book so I can practice my Cyrillic cursive.

    Here is the first one I wish to memorize:

    Птичка/Little Bird by A.S. Pushkin

    В чужбине свято наблюдаю
    Родной обычай старины:
    На волю птичку выпускаю
    При светлом празднике весны.

    Я стал доступен утешенью;
    За что на бога мне роптать,
    Когда хоть одному творенью
    Я мог свободу даровать!

    In a foreign land I faithfully observe
    A native rite of olden times:
    I liberate a little bird
    During the shining fete of spring.

    My heart is filled with consolation,
    How can I grumble at God’s will
    If to but one of his creations
    I can bestow sweet liberty!

    Downloaded some Russian Lessons on my Ipod 2 years ago

    I need to listen to the Russian Lessons downloaded on my Ipod on a regular basis- this will help with my goal. The hardest part is the lost accent. The second hardest part is remembering the verb structures!
