I tried to look through all of the posts for this link, but if I missed it somewhere please let me know and I'll remove it from this post.

This is one of my favorite sites for studying Russian. It has a lot of basic information, and audio to go with all of it.

Anyway, I hope this will help someone.

your friend,

Good luck with that I'm Estonian so I can help with that.

I like finnish language a lot, and recently I've heard estonian which sounds so much like finnish (yeah I know they belong to the same group of languages but so does hungarian that is again much different that these two) so it would be interesting to learn it. But I have no time with all the languages I'm learning at the moment.

Can someone explain to me why
1. Harry Potter---Гарри Поттер (why not Харри?)
2. Босна и Херцеговина (serbian)---Босния и Герцеговина (russian) ?
What's with the letter Г?

[TheNuttyOne]

Most of the time that's happens but there are some exceptions like Tom Hanks is 'Хэнкс' http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%...A2%D0%BE%D0%BC

[jandros]

I've also noticed that English-Russian cognates like Hero and Harem are spelled Герой and Гарем ..... ??

[TheNuttyOne]

harem? hmmm

[Dangerous & Moving]

yes, they also spell hmm like гммм

What's with the letter Г?

in old loan-words h is represented by г, in new - h is х, that's what I know about it
this is funny too: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%...B7%D0%BE%D0%BD, http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%...81%D0%BE%D0%BD

[JohnRyder]

Usually "CH" is "Х", but "H" is "Г". Names and surenames of famous people, geographical names - have traditional writing, others - close to pronunciation. Sometimes even "J" is "Х", especially in Spanish loaned words. Ex. Don Juan - Дон Хуан. Дон Хенаро - Don Genaro. When learning Russian, U have to rely on memory more than theory

OMG ... "Генри Хадсон" ..... Henry Hudson ... this is almost more than my feeble brain can handle

JohnRyder, this is beginning to sound like trying to teach English ... there can be so many variations, sometimes it seems like the "rules" don't even matter

Спасибо всем! Это хорошо изучить эти детали, отдельно
(I hope this made sense ... Я использую словарь)

Seemed like a very strange choice on your part. Happens to me all the time though,

Q: Is that a 'D' or a 'B'
A: 'B' as in ...... uh ... (and then you forget all the words that start with a 'b')

[jandros]

"Strange" in what way? .... I like the song, please disregard the image and the letter Г was the main point of discussion

Yep ... and on that general note ...

In the specific case of "Генри Хадсон" (for lack of a better example) should Г and Х be pronounced exactly the same? Or does it really matter so much?

[vuoklis]

D umm. it would be very funny if it was Генри Гадсон "гад"means "skunk" (well, a very bad person) but that was just a silly discourse :P
Jandroooos! it's good to see (read) you here again

Привет Vuoklis!!! It's really good to see you again too!!
Thanks for the tip, and be sure that I'll plant that word firmly into my memory

Privet vuoklis i bolšoe spasibo. Ja sapomnju eta slova
