People never put the stress where I expect it, and I never put it where native speakers would expect it, so they look blank.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-67356597694847434442009-03-26T14:25:00.000+02:002009-03-26T14:25:00.000+02:00I do sympathise about the 'hard work' bit, as lear...I do sympathise about the 'hard work' bit, as learning Russian is what I consider 'hard work' too. However, I think I'm at an advantage as not many people speak English here in Kiev - and I think that's the key - it's amazing what you can do when there are few options! <BR/>Perhaps you could ask your hairdresser to practise speaking slowly with you - a little contrived, I know, but may work.

One of the major hurdles I have is that I learnt "Athenian" Greek and in Cyprus there are a lot of dialect words used or words simply pronounced differently e.g. oshi instead of ochi for No. Then I have to work so hard to get people to speak in Greek rather than English.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275084269571688281noreply@blogger.com
