Lesson 1 - Greeting

Friends and family members greet each other with a simple "Привет".<br /> <br /> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1456/1600/Untitled-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1456/320/Untitled-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /> <br /> for those who want to 'Copy'+'Paste' :<br /> <br /> - Привет, Эмили.<br /> - Привет, мам.<br /> <br /> <br /> Use "Здравствуйте" with people you barely know, with much older folks (unless they are your relatives) or with government officials.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1456/1600/Untitled-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1456/320/Untitled-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /> <br /> - Здравствуйте, мисс Наталия.<br /> - Здравствуй, Эмили.<br /> <br /> <br /> Remember, "Practice makes perfect".<br /> <br /> Your e-mails with questions and comments are welcome.<br /> <br /> If you are brave enough, you can e-mail me an audio file with your greeting in Russian. I'll play it on the next show.
