Or something else (please specify)

Thank you :)

I love the poems. The bilingual ones in particular are a free gift to my Russian studies that I overlook more often than I should.

Aww thank you, I'm glad you like them! I came across an excellent one the other day that I will post and will tag you when I do :)

I didn't know you took Russian ;)

Speaking of languages, did I ever tell you I had a boyfriend once (very briefly) who knew Swedish?

Ta det lungt,

Нееееемного понимаю, изучала русский язык три семестры в университете, oof ow cases are hard. Svenska är mycket lättare, tycker jag :)

But that's what makes poetry nice for language study, or at least some poems. They're usually short, so you don't have to look up a million words to have a complete artistic experience.

Три семестра, да, прилично :)

Да, в русском сложная грамматика.

Agreed re: poems, although in some of them, archaisms make it difficult ;)

I find most of the things you post interesting. I don't read Russian, but that's okay. I wish I could like the "relaxing music" videos, but the music isn't relaxing for me, though the artwork is usually very evocative. And a lot of the stuff you post shows me a different perspective on things, which I enjoy.

Thanks ;) Most of the Russian I post I translate ;)

I took Russian in college, in 1965. And I do appreciate the translations! And I'm happy that we both enjoy American mostly-Russian Jewish music and folklore (hooray for klezmer!)

I always enjoy the lovely vids and artwork you share. Inspirational stories and fics and poems are also good. Songs are nice too. So guess, all of it really. I've also really been enjoying the cozy environment vids you're been posting, so soothing!
