I teach the Russian language to 5th graders at an elementary school
in
rural Alabama (USA). I minored in Russian during the height of the
Cold
War. I am not fluent , but would enjoy conversing with any and all
friends
from Russia. Also, my 5th graders would learn a great deal from
this
experience. Please e-mail, if interested.

Zdrabstvyjte! In a very little class at the narodnij yniversitet in
's-Hertogenbosch (Holland)we (four people) try to learn the russian
language. Why? Speaking for myself, seven years ago I worked in
Russia
(Kashira, Mosk. obl.)and since then I love Russia and Russian
people. Is
there anyone in the former SU (perhaps in Kashira?) who wants to
write us?
We are able to write in cyrillic characters (koi-8, etc). Hope to
hear
from you soon!
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hello friends! Merry Christmas! You see what the single guys are
doing on
Christmas day! Your site was very interesting to me and I wanted to
say
hello. I am a 35 YO DWM and have been looking to meet the right
lady
overseas for some time now. I speak only alittle Russsian but I have
been
to Moscow visiting in May 97. I enjoyed it very much! Fascinating.
I was
in Tashkent and Istanbul in 95 and I am going to try to go to Odessa
in the
spring if I can possibly swing it. You guys take care and have fun.
I
just wanted to say hello on my way through....Later, Robert.

We have heard many horror stories about crime and safety, but are

I know in my searches I had come across a dictionary that had
pictures with
the associated text (pets) and the audio version of the Russian
words. It
took awhile to find it again but if you go to:
http://www.wavefront.com/~swithee/dictionary/menus/mainmenu.html
you will find not only the words for dog but lots of other animals
and
objects. It is a pretty neat site by Sarah Withee.

Keep Christmas with you all through the year
When Christmas time is over and presents put away
Don't be sad...
There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day
And the fun we had...
So many happy feelings to celebrate with you
And O the good times hurry by so fast.
But even when it's over, there's something you can do
To make Christ - mas - last.
Keep Christmas with you all through the year
When Christmas is over, you can keep it near
Think of this Christmas day, when Christmas is far away.
Keep Christmas with you all through the year
When Christmas is over, Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments, hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you all through the year....
Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and Joy to you!
The goodness of loving, the gladness of living
These are Christmas too.
So...
Keep Christmas with you all through the year
When Christmas is over, Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments, hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you all through the year....
You keep Christmas with you all through the year
2 Cor 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was
rich,
yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might
become
rich.
