You have been toiling away at a huge project for your Russian boss. Panicked, he storms into your office and tells you his bosses want the project on their desk by morning. He asks in Russian how much you have finished. A little unnerved by his alarm, you attempt to reply to him in Russian that you will have the project finished by this evening. However, instead you tell the terror-stricken Russian man that you have the project finished now. With a huge look of relief on his face, he thanks you in Russian and asks for the project now. A little confused, you print the report and hand it to him, assuming that he intends to finish it tonight himself so that he will have it with him in the morning for his boss. If you had known how to use the future tense, your future might not look so bleak right now! Learning Russian with RussianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Russian! This Russian Newbie lesson will teach you how to talk about your future in Russian using the Russian verb, быть. You will also learn how to order first, second, and third courses in Russian at Russian restaurants, as well as learn what types of foods they commonly serve in Russian restaurants during the cold winter months in Russia.

You have been waiting for weeks to get into the new Russian restaurant down the street, and finally you are here. You and your spouse are so thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to eat here while you are travelling in St. Petersburg. The atmosphere is perfect-romantic and quiet. The Russian host lays the menus in front of you. You thank him in Russian, he tells you he will give you a few moments to look over the Russian menu, and he walks away. You really don’t know what you were expecting, but for some reason you were surprised to find the entire menu in Russian…well, of course it is! The waiter approaches your table and asks if you are ready to order. You motion questioningly at the menu and try to tell him in Russian that you cannot read it. He asks in Russian what you like and he will order for you…but you can’t even tell him that. So, much to your embarrassment in this very exclusive Russian restaurant, your husband acts out the motions of a chicken. Nice. Next time just listen to RussianPod101.

You are doing a very good thing today. You moved to St. Petersburg about a month ago for work. Since then your son has been playing with the little Russian boy next door almost every day. Tonight your Russian neighbors asked if you would watch their son so they could have a much-needed break and you agreed. This will give you a chance to get to know your son’s new best friend as well as score some brownie points with your new neighbors. But about halfway through the night the little Russian boy began telling you something in Russian and rubbing his stomach. You have no idea what he is saying. You thought maybe he had a stomach ache, but you didn’t want to give him medicine without his mother’s permission. Good, here’s his mom now. Why is she so mad? She is yelling at you in Russian…what could you have possibly done wrong? Learning Russian with RussianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Russian!
