Well, vierkilau would be the expert but I haven't seen him on LJ in ages.

Ar, not seen owt from him for ages.

Hi, got pointed at this by someone. I rarely update but if you mail me (vierkilau@gmail.com) I should be able to do something for you

One of my LJ friends lives in/near Moscow and is Russian, I'd be glad to put you in touch with him if you'd like, his English is excellent (I wouldn't have known he wasn't English educated!)

Let me know

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic; I just need a few random phrases translated really...

The glorious psuedo-nation of vodka thanks you sir!

I work with a russian, if the comments are not too inflamatory I can ask her and get the phonetics if you want?

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

I speak a little (nyemnoga in phonetics) and my neighbour, Olga, is Siberian....

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Siberian neighbour and you never told me? All that vodka time wasted! ;)

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

Not wasted for us - she held a spectacular vodka tasting party last year with 12 types of vodka - and we all had to sing the Russian National Anthem at half time!

Sounds like a fine night indeed :)
