WHAT WERE THE FIRST WORDS YOU LEARNED IN RUSSIAN? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LANGUAGE?
Canaan: Spasiba (spah-SEE-bah) – Thank you; pazhalsta (pah-ZHAL-stah) – Please/You’re welcome; zdrastvuytye (zdrahst-vyoot-yeh) – Hello; dasvidanya (dah-svee-dahn-ya) – Good bye. Those are pretty much the first words that I learned in the Russian language. The language is very weird and hard to understand, as it is spoken quite speedily. But it sounds really cool when spoken by a native or fluent person.
Amy Leavell: I learned the word for thank you (spah-SEE-bah) and the word for hello (pri-vi-et) first. These two words definitely came in handy throughout the week. The Russian language is hard to understand, but I actually really like it. It is so much different than any language that I have studied before, (Spanish, French, and Latin) as they are all romance languages and have common root words, but Russian is completely different, with a strange alphabet and everything!
