Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com. You are having a blast with some friends on vacation in Russia. You and your friends decide to go to a great Russian bar and grill but you have nothing to wear. Your friend suggests that you borrow something from her sister, but her sister is not home to decide for herself if she wants you borrowing something. You are hesitant, but you know that her sister will not be home until tomorrow and would never know. You decide to wear a beautiful Russian-made dress, but at the bar and grill you drop food in your lap, staining the Russian garment. Your friend declares in Russian, “Oh, no. I’m dead meat.” You think otherwise and tell her in Russian, “It’s okay, it’s my fault in the first place. I shouldn’t have taken it without asking.” You tell your friend you will take the blame for ruining her sister’s dress…or maybe you could just leave Russia before her sister gets home…

Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com. You are finally at the party your new (promising) Russian friend nervously invited you to last week. His friends anxiously crown around, excited to finally meet the girl he has apparently been talking quite a bit about. Blushing, you introduce yourself to the crowd in Russian, “Hi! Vlad has told me so much about all of you. It’s such a pleasure to finally meet you!” As his friends take turns shaking your hand and introducing themselves, one friend announces in Russian, “Vlad, you should have told us she was so polite and beautiful!” Blushing even worse, you take his hand and reply in Russian, “Well, I owe you a dance later for such a wonderful compliment.” Apparently getting a little jealous, Vlad interrupts, shoves his friend aside, and tells him in Russian, “Umm, I’ll let you get away with that this time because she is very beautiful…but next time…” He turns back to you and says in Russian, “Now that you have met everyone, you must tell me everything about yourself!” How can your friends be mad at you for falling in love?

You have only been in Russia for a few days…but your friend points out that you seem to have caught the attention of a very good-looking Russian guy down the street. He seems very nice too. But the first time you met he was so nervous he stepped all over you toes and could barely speak…it was actually kind of cute. And rumor has it, he is headed this way to ask you to a party tonight. Fumbling nervously with his shirt, he stutters in Russian, “I’d like to make up for the other day when I stepped all over you. I just settled into my dormitory and I am throwing a little party. Could you come by?” You can’t help but laugh…and when you do he starts again in Russian, stuttering worse than before, “I was just hoping you could stop by…I mean…I am just sorry…I mean…” You finally put him out of his misery, replying in Russian with a smile, “I would love to go to the party you are throwing…as long as we will get to know each other better there.” Sometimes a smile is worth a thousand words… Learning Russian with RussianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Russian.
