Page 3. Its clicked in my beginners journey into learning Russian at home, these last couple of days it is the original Ruski text I now prefer in getting closer to the original sound. In other words I skip the supplied English translation. Ruski directly gets you closer to the real sound. 

Удачи вам в изучении русского языка.


In these early days it doesn't really matter what your translation work is, just get stuck in! 

Read Ruski!

 Page 2.  Замучен тяжёлой неволей, As mentioned on page 1 here is an old Russian tune, its important I paste all my learning material on this blog otherwise it will simply get lost, but also in this digital form I can copy and paste wherever I like.  For instance I've just found context.reverso.net and is a useful adjunct to google translate Point of this exercise is for us beginners to memorise the first verse.   Please note as I develop and gain ability I hope to go back over this older material and check for mistakes, at the moment at my beginner level it may well hold errors.

'cloud closes east'.  Thats an interesting word,  восток ....  Pron. 'vostok' as in English is for east, being born in 1958 its as familiar as soyuz for union, laika for barker (RIP little doggie hero) and  Семёрка ,  semyorka for rockets ie 'old no.3' as I've just found out today. All are 'space words' or programmes from the Russians. I apologise for the military angle to this material, merely words heard fifty and sixty years ago.  Thats certainly say two months minimum of writing and memorisation; or probably longer, I'm no genius at this game.   Here we are set to music, beautiful re...
