I really enjoy it! Russian has been a hobby of mine since I took 2 years back in grad school in the mid 80s. I had a question: Was your gift a four volume set comprising an Etymological Russian dictionary? If so, how fascinating! Where could one get this here in the USA? Or just find in a library? I would love to peruse such a work! Bsevo shoroshovo!

I look forward to you Blog and struggle through it every time it comes. The struggle is purely on my part as I am a novice American trying to learn something about the Russian language and culture. I am 75 years old and hope to learn enough to read some Good Russian literature. I have read War and Peace and Crime and Punishmnet this year (In English I am sad to say). My struggle is with pronunciation I listen to tapes but the nuances escape my failing ears. I want to find a place where the transliteration is a part of the words for the day. I think I can do better with a little help. Your blog is a wonderful thing. I appreciate the time and effort you put in this work. You must be a very good student of the Russian Language. Thank you for keeping me looking at a bit of the language every day. Harold in Oklahoma, USA Dear Friend,
