Interesting site for learning Russian or English

[Udut, Kenneth]

I tend towards overexcitement about things - you'll have
to excuse that in me :-)


On a whim, I looked around the web for sites that teach
English for Russians, hoping to find some nice side-by-side
material.

Lo, and behold!

http://www.ispol.com/Learn-English-Fast/lessons.html

This contains 50 'grades', which seem to spiral upwards in
complexity.  All are English and Russian side-by-side in
very short phrases, and I am finding, as a "late beginning level,
perhaps very-nearly-early intermediate" level student, that it
is quite helpful to me.

I am curious if the Russian sounds as 'choppy' as the English
does.  The choppiness is not troublesome to me in the English,
because it is understandable.  But the Russian side is invaluable
for me, since it does a lot of repeating of words and phrases,
making subtle changes here and there, as it moves up through
the 'grades'.

I'm finally starting to "grasp" things that I should have been
able to understand months and months ago - the way suffixes
seem to work through the various cases - and the rythym of
a matched gender/case/declension/number is starting to come
together in my musical brain.

For anyone using "Total Physical Response Storytelling"
{TPRS} in your Russian classes, this should provide nice
material for the purpose.
