Bears, Borscht, and Bolsheviks. Wes' Overseas English Exploits. August 27, 2011.

I’m extremely thankful to have so serendipitously gone to my old school on Wednesday and running into a fellow teacher, Tanya, who had just put this apartment up for rent. You’re great Tanya!

It reads left to right like ours, and uses many of the same characters. I’ve put a pronunciation key in here to help, but many letters will take on a different sound depending on their position in a word. For example, Oo. Will often take on an “ah” sound while Вв. Occasionally makes an “f” sound. 8211; “ah” pronounced: a in car Бб. 8211; R...
