Really?

     I always thought I would speak in Russian all the time, but have found out that that is not the case. Hence Nastya learning English words. It is true she understands Russian more, but still picks up English words as well. She has some new words and below they are.

*Cheeks

Shch-yokee

*In

*Banana

Ba-nan

*House

Dome

*Give me

Die

*White light

Bi-lly svete

*Pumpkin

Tick-va

Some of these words are a little complicated due to the sound. We have a letter that represents the sound being hard and a soft letter. We also have a letter that is a hard E, "bl" is an e but more at the back of the throat. Others for example we find words in English that are the equivalent of the sound, for example the word white is pronounced billy exactly like the name Billy with a little tweaking of the first vowel it can be done.
