Translation/Explanations |
| NOTES. | AK NOTE: | |
| 1 |
Я [йа]
: I (subject). |
Except for some short words, |
| 2 | Сказать is to tell, narrate;
говорить is to speak or say. There are more differences between these two verbs and we shall see them later on. |
Сказать - "to tell/say something one
time" говорить - "to be talking" |
| 3 |
.lust as we have : |
| The song today takes the place of the exercise. It is the chorus of
the "Volga Boatmen", which is probably not unknown to you. As its words are extremely simple, practice crooning it. (Every record contains a snatch from a popular Russian song). The music helps to remember the words — which are not to be found in our lessons — and gives the records the same attractiveness as the cartoons do to the book). |
| AK-Note: Still, they are "to be found" in the Internet. |
