Here are some Russian words I have learned that I like. Are they useful? maybe. Some words are just fun.
1. шоколад-Shocolad-chocolate
2. банкомат-Bankomat-ATM
3. машины-Machina-car
4. кошка-Koshka-kittycat
5. птица-Pititsa-bird
6. картофеля-Kartoshka-potato
7. велосипед-Vilocipyet-bike
8. икра-Ikra-caviar
9. fotoaparat-camera
Chocolate was the first word we learned, by transliterating each letter from the ingredients list on a bag of cookies we bought at a Hamtramck Polish/Eastern European Market. It was an easy one, phonetically the similar. In learning a new language, my thought is always start with learning food words; you have the motivation of not starving wherever you go.
We're on the left. Elena's on the right. She was in Russia. That's why we went.
