Natalia,

I enjoy your podcast. Welcome back!!

I have been learning Russian from the Pimsleur Russian language series and have found their pronunciations to be a bit different from yours. I suspect it's simply matter of dialect but it does cause me a little bit of difficulty. (I'm sure you can understand this, since you live in New Orleans -- accents in the Southern part of America are VERY different from the North). Can you tell me what region of Russia you are from?

An idea for a future podcast -- could you give examples of different pronunciations of common words so we can begin to learn about regional Russian accents?

Jon, I am from the Central region of Russian Federation. Don't really have any accent as far as my Russian speech is concerned. Living in the South of the US should not alter ones Russian, only English. Note to self: listen to Pimsleur.

Dear Natalia ,
It would be really cool if you could put up a Frappr map on your site from:

http://www.frappr.com/

... so that you can see where all your listeners come from.

Здравствуйте, мисс Наталия

Thank you so much for your blog and podcast. I currently live in Melbourne Australia and am doing my last subject to become a Charted Accountant (my exam is in 20 days). To celebrate the end of all this study I am going to Russia, Mongolia and China (in 35 days – but who’s counting) Given all the study I have just enough time to study a little bit of conversational Russian (hopefully enough to order food) and I can do that in the car on my way to work, thanks to you!

Your efforts with these podcast are fantastic! O, thanks to your whole family who form such a key part of it aswell.

До свидания

Once I workout how to record and send my voice I’ll send you my homework.

Thanks for the podcasts. Since my wife has just had a baby I can no longer attend Russian classes here in Liverpool, England.
But I can listen to your lessons on my ipod as I work around the house and in the car.
You,re a star!

PS Have you seen the film 'A Letter to Brezhnev'?

Great podcast and blogspot! I'm a 17 year old Scottish girl, thinking about studying Russian for the first time when I go to university, so with your help I can get a head start!

Once again, great site and keep up the good work! Good luck with your new house, hope everything goes well for you.

I just found your podcast on the web. Great!!! I really love it! I studied russian at high school (almost 23 years ago) and I always wanted to refresh it. I only remember alphabet and some other things. Thank You !

Hello!
I just listened to a handful of podcasts on my mp3 player and I was impressed with the quality of the sound of the recording, the structure of the podcast and the very annunciated and appealing voice of the speakers. You made this so perfect.
I also love the Russian folk music. More please.
Spaciba, I am your lifetime listener and student from here on.
