They have this fancy forum that does it for you Steve. Just type in the short for it. Sestroryetsk I typed in (s.e.s.t.y.)

The Cyrillic alphabet is entirely phonetic. Unfortunately, some of the sounds do not have exact equivalents in English, and English is not entirely phonetic, so translations can vary. Don't get hung up on it.
Re: How do I spell the arsenals
same with Iroquoian, most of their language can not be translated into english my great grandmother was forced to learn french and English as a child and the german and boonie irish(mix of Gaelic and english) after being married.Geek wrote:The Cyrillic alphabet is entirely phonetic.

When my great grandfather(Irish/german) would get drunk and beat her she would call him a "Kenraken Erhar" which is Mohawk for white dog

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
Hahaha, I listened to the pronunciation guide for Izhevsk thrice to try to learn how to say it, and upon realizing I couldn't make those sounds, thrice more just because Russian sounds so sexy. I'm not even sure I want to learn Russian, because the sounds of it are so nice without understanding the syntax.

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
I don't know much Russian, and the only German I know are a few swear words. Funny how we always learn that part of the language first. Like the Polish guy who comes in here selling up scrap, speaks maybe three words of English, and we heard them all last month when a Guatemalan guy who speaks even less English than he does backed his little Honda into the side of the guys Ford Windstar. Shit, mother******' c*******er, he said it with such clarity and feeling that we all did a double take, and when he went charging out the door I laughed until I had to sit down. It was a riot listening to them scream at each other in Polish and Spanish

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
Oh dear, have I committed a faux pas? If so, I apologize. I just meant that I enjoy the sounds of other languages, whether or not I understand the content. The Russian language has always fascinated me because the sounds are so different, and so difficult for an American vocal apparatus to produce. I couldn't say "Izhevsk" to save my life.

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
None of us except the real Russians can pronounce it At least not properly. I had a real Russian teach me, and he said I sound like an American trying to say it. Nothing to appologize about

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
Hahaha! Yes, it seems that accents are nigh impossible to lose, although I have met a couple people who have managed to do it--and to me, it's a pity. I've heard tell that Germans think girls with American accents are cute-sounding, so I'd have that in my favor if I ever visited. I wonder what Russians think of American accents, if they think it's funny to hear us try or if it's merely annoying. At any rate, I'll shut up on this subject, which is rapidly veering off-topic.
Interestingly, the idea that curse words are among the first to be learned in a foreign language is accepted and noted in anthropology. I read a story about an anthropologist who had begun living among a Papua New Guinean tribe and was trying to learn to fit in as best he could. Exchanging curse words was the biggest ice-breaker! For several days after, he observed tribesmen jumping out from hiding places at each other and yelling, "Fook!"

Re: How do I spell the arsenals
It's always important to learn as many curse words in the other guys language as fast as possible so you can know by picking out the words from unfamiliar conversation directed at you if you are being insulted . Then you can use your new found vocabulary to return the favor
