[Kenneth E Udut]

Dear SEELANGers,

Many thanks for the truly
unanimous recommendation
of Ot Dvux Do Pyati
several months back!!

And a very special thanks to
Alex Stratienko for sending me
a copy to the US from Ukraine!

It is exactly what I was hoping for.

Of course, the book as a whole is
beyond the full comprehension of
this forever-questioning student --
but if nothing else, at this point,
I can at least try to measure up
to the speech of 2-5 yr olds :-)

[no no - hang onto the quick private
reply button - I'm not going to imitate
their speech - just at a quick glance,
I can see that the sentences they use
ought not be imitated by a student of
the Russian language - but at the very
least, it will help keep me going,
knowing that your average 5 yr old
Russian child has a more extensive
vocabulary (and being able to peek at
the conversations in the book to
be sure) than I do :-)

Just glancing at the beginning,
seeing that a 2 yr old Russian child
has mastered gender agreement apparently
without a hitch, and seems to have
past tense down pat (I've only read
two-three pages so far, and only understand
perhaps 20-30% of the commentary/explanations,
which is as good as not understanding it at all) -
will help me try to, at the very least, keep
pace, or try not to lag behind too much!

Thanks again for the recommendation,
and again, and big thanks to Alex Stratienko for
sending it to me.

-Kenneth, a very happy student of Russian.
