Russian Language Course
Through the U of C… interested? (I think that link may not work.
Click on Languages, and Russian and you should be able to see it.)
Cost is $225, every Thursday night from Jan 27 – March 31.

I thought the idea was for a Chinese course, and blunder our way through
Russia? Given that we can read Cyrillic and do rough translations, I think
that would be good enough, eh? I’d rather worry more about Chinese, where
a simply misprounciation of a vowel could be misinterpreted as an
insult…

Ah, I thought we agreed on Russian since there are several dialects of
Chinese that we’d be exposed to in China. Fine, well, Mandarin costs $205
and meets from 7 – 9pm on Tuesdays. Same time frame. Maybe I’ll take both?

Hmm. It’s obvious that we had too many beers the last time we discussed
this.
There are several, yes, but Mandarin is the official dialect. I know
that’s not going to totally cover our asses, but I think I’d like to walk
into this a little more aware of the situation than not.
Given the choice between the two, I’d lean more towards Mandarin (also
handy in Chinese restaurants!).
Besides, weren’t you the one who suggested that French was also widely
(I still wonder if that’s actually true.)
spoken in Russia?

oh right, I did say that. I think I’m going to take both, cause it’ll be
fun. And we need more beer.
