Pathetic

It's been a month since I last posted anything on this blog - quite pathetic. In my defence I'll just say that life has been very busy. I've had a couple of interviews and been offered and subsequently accepted a new position here in sunny Queensland, this time a bit nearer the coast, Cairns to be exact.

I gave some serious consideration to enrolling in a Certificate in Russian which can be done externally through Sydney's Macquarie University but with the pressures of a new routine and new job I thought that might be just a bit too much. I'll review that option come the end of next year.

While trawling the web to find out the Russian for Merry Christmas I bumped into this site which I'd not previously visited. Browsing through the site there are numerous ads for Russian brides but, not withstanding that, there are about 15 pages of very useful basic phrases which would really round out anyone's basic conversational skills especially if courtship and love is your objective ! Perhaps the best aspect is that many of the phrases have sound file links so you can actually hear the phrase. Top marks, a great site and a useful resource.
