By chance, I found  your site as I was surfing the internet. I realize it is a business opportunity, but your desires to portray the Russian woman as jewel in the world is commendable and much appreciated. Thank you for your honesty and concern for both the Russian women and those who are honestly seeking a partner in life. Loneliness is a very cruel punishment. I am delighted to know of your happiness in your marriage.

If I may comment on an issue that came across as I read the reports of victims of  scammers. It appeared to me that those victims should be very suspicious if a woman much younger than he shows interest in him. Also,  one must be a realist and prudent about finding a mate. A man in his 40's should look for someone not younger than 33 or more.( I read of a man in his 60's who was taken by a woman in her early 30's.)  I know also that in the USA ( my country), there is a social tendency for a man to want a younger woman. I find this tendency dangerous from the point that in most cases, such reunions become another divorce statistic. 

The reasons why I chose a Russian lady to fulfill my life are too numerous, but suffice it to say that I find Russian women educated, chic in their appearance ( no matter what their financial conditions - I saw a beautifully dressed woman operating a train between the center of town and the suburbs ) and want a husband to be her companion- to share whatever life gives them. As for me, I am waiting for her arrival this month, after 9 long months of waiting. She is 45 years old, a most interesting, genuine, warm lady I have ever met. I look forward to a wonderful life- not empty of problems, but with a solid base of understanding, communication, trust and genuine affection for each other, I am sure we will meet life's challenges. 

Again, thank you for your concerns, both for the Russian woman and for us who are looking for someone to fulfill our loneliness.

Common Russian Words And Phrases


Tips on common Russian words and phrases - Russian dictionary for beginners

By WWu777@aol.com 

Here are some other helpful words and phrases which you will commonly use in most situations.  If you're like me, it's hard to remember them by their sound alone, therefore if you memorize their spelling in Latin letters below, it will help you recall them a lot.  It's best to have a Russian person say these out loud to you first so you can know how they are pronounced.  If you're unfamiliar with these words, it's best to print them out and memorize them before going to Russia.

  • Hello - "Zdrastochye" or "Privet" (I know the second is simpler to remember, so if you want, just use that one although it's more informal. They'll usually let you get away with it.)

  • What is your name? - "Kak vas zavut?" to unknown people or to "Kak tebyah zavut?" to friends

  • How are you? - "Kak dila?"

  • I'm good - "Harasho", but can also mean "ok" or "it's good".

  • I don't understand - "Ya ni panimayu", but a female could say that or "Ya ni panila" 

  • Do you understand me? - "Panimayish?" or "Poinyal?" to a man, "Panila?" to a woman. 

  • I understand - "Ya panimayu" or "Ya poinyal" if you're a man, "Ya panila" if you're a woman.

*  Also, get acquainted with saying numbers in Russian.  It is very easy to learn and will come in handy a lot!  To get a crash course in the Russian alphabet and numbers, go to this site.  It's much easier than you think and will help you a lot.

As you get acquainted with these terms, you will learn to string them together into certain phrases.  Practice makes perfect.  By the way, when Russians ask you in English "What do you want?" don't get offended.  I know in America, it is informal and unprofessional to ask someone "what do you want" especially if it comes from a customer service person, and even rude in some situations.  But in Russia, it is normal to use that phrase and there is no bad intention associated with it.
