Jaguar, hi! I can help you find good teachers of Russian in Cairo. When you say "conversational Russian", do you need conversational business Russian, conversational to be a tourist in Russia, etc? What is your shedule like for the lessons? Thanks

That's good, so how ,do u think, can u help me in that? I would be grateful.
I had to learn for six years Russian lessons at school (and at that time I hated it because I'd have rather studied the French language), now I wish I would have been more smarter and focused about it. Well I never used my language skills and I can't communicate anymore but I am still able to read and pronounce the words (sometimes I do make mistakes). I would say that indeed Russian is difficult to learn - not that simple like English or Spanish - but its definitely easier than to learn the Arabic language. Still the best thing next to taking lessons in the desired language is to communicate with native speakers; and yes - you should try to stay focused on your goal and don't lose interest after a couple of months. Russian language is a great language. Good luck, Jaguar!

Elizaveta.. Thank you... Actually I need to communicate with my little son (kharochi Malchic) who speaks only Russian. So, basic Russian in my target. I'm willing to put as much effort as it takes to achieve that. Thanks again. Tigerlily.. Yes, I do have the motive and have a great day. Posts: 477 | From: Egypt | Registered: Jan 2004

Well, Jaguar, I got three shining ........ and hopefully we will expand one more. I'd love to have another girl (I can only wish, God has to decide). My oldest is a daughter, then two boys came along (by the way their names are Sasha and Nikita - real Russian boy names!) so I'd love to have another little girl. And then I am done - I promise!
I don't want to be too personal but maybe I am right assuming you live seperated and your little son is back in Russia? Well if thats the case I am very sorry about the circumstances. But if you are all happy together in Egypt you really should teach him Arabic - its his heritage too.
My kids are growing up with German and English language, its really great.

Jaguar, I asked one person I know. He is busy for now at least. I am not in Cairo, so I cannot help. Sorry I suggested to you, but I thought it would be easier. I have a few more people in mind. I will wait for their replies and let you know. Hope you have fun with your little boy! how old is he?

quote:Originally posted by jaguar: Tigerlily, always thought Nikita was a girl's name!!
Jaguar, Nikita is a boy's name. It is quite a distinctive Russian name from "old" days. But it is quite popular in modern days too. It is very cute name, I agree, especially for a little cute boy. by the way, one of former Soviet Communist leaders who is so famous for taking his shoe and banning it in the US was Nikita Khrushev Tigerlilly, I agree both Sasha and Nikita are cute names. Sasha is a nickname for Aleksandr (Alexander) for a boy and also for a girl (Aleksandra).
P.S. I feel bad, Jaguar for keeping your hopes up. perhaps I can teach you some Russian virtually. let me know what you want to know meanwhile looking for teachers for you in the area.

Tigerlilly, Good luck to you raising your kids. I am delighted to know that people from other countries love Russian names. Natasha is a very popular name, and I guess it gets stereotyped a lot. People think all girls are Natashas in Russia. I personally do not like it that much (do not get offended), this name is too common in Russia . it is a matter of taste, of course.

Jaguar,
You are most welcome. I have not helped you yet. I sent a few emails to my friends who are in Cairo now. no need to thank me as nothing has been done yet. I hope it will work out so you could talk to your boy
I am embarrased to admit, but I am not familiar with that particular song by Elton John you are referring to. I referred to Nikita Krushev's visit to USA. He took his shoe off and banned with it to prove his point on an issue. Everybody forgot what the issue is ( ) but everybody remembers his act! he came back from USA and started to grow corn everywhere! please, let me know which song you refer to, I will look it up. The time of Krushev's is called "thaw" as before him there was Stalin and such
Hey Nikita is it cold In your little corner of the world You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know
Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow
Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night
And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you're free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend

Jaguar, thank you very much. It is not about Nikita Krushev yet it is about times during the cold war....I looked up and it says something like that
"... Nikita," by Elton John. The singer is in love with a Russian border guard "
So you are right! It is the male Nikita. It is a male name, and no Russian women guard borders.

Hey, not to confuse you, but I've seen long time ago the video (the song is from 1985)and I believe they showed a woman Elton was singing about. Well, back then it would have been too offensive for many people ........ and I doubt that even today everyone would play that video.
But whatever, I love my son, the name Nikita and also the music of Elton John.
Have a great weekend!

Russian is not a difficult language to learn. I lived in Russian and Ukraine for almost two years and mastered both languages in six months time. You just need to find the right teacher with the right ways of teaching. ;-)
