Episode 6 of the Jace Hall Show

FIRST, I beat that darn Lenny again. :-)

Marina in that hot blue dress
finds that damn smelly jacket
and says, “screw you guys” and
slides into Russian love talk.

Any Russian translators in the house?
I’ll try, but it will take me a week or so, one vowel at a time. :-)

I was making [popcorn]…darn Karl :-) smelly coats :-)

Where is Pavel when I need him.
Yeah, I’ll get him to translate and teach me at the same time.

Hey, you gonna share some of that popcorn.
I hope it has Xtra butter. :lol:

I say its all work and no play… :lol: …mommy will make it louder! :roll: Её тело выражает не меньше, чем голос, и столь же прозрачно и склонно к перевоплощениям и сменам лиц. Мы никогда не знаем: какой увидим её в следующий раз.
:lol:

It’s 9:30 AM in Moscow right now and I’ve got a call out to Pavel to have him translate what Marina says. I’m sure he is having breakfast right now and then he should be able to translate.

I think Marina says, if pedanticKarl was here, he would have steam cleaned that jacket and he would have hung you guys by the gonands. Epic Flail.

I was close, right?

Dear Teach,
I love:
1. That awesome dress.
2. The authoritative way that you told those two scrotes to screw off.
3. To know what you said to them in Russian.

xoxodc

I tell you Karl; this lesson was my inspiration…”free”…this past year, I was given some”mac n’ cheese”, so, I use the powdered cheese for the [popcorn]! and, it is my excuse to do garlic powder. Thanks…you can have all you want because I made extra for class :lol: :razz: on the [cob]..:&:..butterfly & mushroom– Two flakes of popcorn…how is the teacher/host—Marina? :???:

Dang, that looks great leoNard garlic with cheese and that corn looks great. I’m digging in.

Finally they got rid of that stupid age requirement in the beginning. I never understand the point of that jacket.

With that dress who even noticed the jacket, or the set or the rest of the show.!!!

LMAOROTF :lol:
B.B. :mrgreen:

Just like everyone else-you look great, you’re funny, you b-slap those guys proper and I’m sure that jacket smells like cigar. When you first started talking about a jacket I thought you meant on a book! I figured you had some sort of [quirk].

- O my god! Tod! Screw you guys…
- Ya uhozhu, ya s vami voobsche bol’she rabotat’ nikogda ne budu
Я ухожу, я с вами вообще больше работать никогда не буду
I’ll go away, I’ll never work with you anymore

- Gorby let’s go :lol:

- Ya ne budu s vami rabotat’
Я не буду с вами работать
I will not work with you

- Ya obeschala, vy obeschali. Vy opyat’ ne vypolnili obeschanie svoe
Я обещала, вы обещали. Вы опять не выполнили обещание своё
I promised, you promised. You again have not fulfilled the promise of yours

THANK YOU…Who do you think gave most to [civility]?… :???: …[tattoo]…R U from Moscow?

Thank you for the translation, my friend. :-)

this may sound like a stupid question but hey i have asked stupid questions before. i speak english and french learned the later in school, but never used it in day to day conversation, my question is do you think in russian or do you think in english since you use english on a daily basis.

Hello heyzeus,
Your question is not a stupid one as it is a natural one to ask and many people ask it and have an interest in that type of question. In fact, that question was posed 6 months ago by fglrx

Go to this topic in the Forum which is entitled:
In which language does Marina think more?

Read all of the posts there and you will find many interesting answers. Marina has not answered, but for many of us, including myself, English is our second language.

I came to the US with my parents and did not know any English. For me it was sink or swim and after 6 months I learned English fairly well, but I still did not think in the language until maybe a year or so later. To this day, I occasionally still count numbers in German as opposed to English, but I think in English.

I’m not speaking for Marina, but having watched many of her interviews I imagine that she is in transition from thinking in Russian to thinking in English as the years go by. Age is a big factor as Marina was an adult when she came to the US while I was a pre-teen child. In other words, she had so many more years of practice in her native language as an adult than I did in my native language, so I imagine that the transition would be longer for her than it did for me.

On page1 of the Forum, äläx makes an interesting point, but I think he jumps to an incorrect conclusion about deaf mutes.

äläx states that no one “really thinks in a particular (natural) language such as English or Russian.” I would agree with that as I believe that we think in symbols and the natural language in which we operate, the letters and words is just a set of symbols. So, deaf mutes are able to think, just not in the same way that we do as they are depending on a different set of symbols in the context in which they operate.

Do you mean the civilization or the politeness? ;-)
Anyway, it is not a simple question.
Sergey Brin and Isidore + Lucien Olivier are most useful in my life :smile:

You are welcome :smile: it was not difficult

I have scanned ‘Russian for Dummies’ while swilling coffee in a Barnes & Noble, and I fear I must hold out for ‘Russian for the Compleat Idiot’ :oops: :smile:

Phew… That jacket does stink! :!: My stupid Question is: WOT did She say?

(canceled post)

hi karl,

i should’ve phrased a small part of my comment differently as i don’t believe in things like mental states or mental causation. that wouldn’t change the content of my posting, though.

anyway.

I believe that we think in symbols and the natural language in which we operate, the letters and words is just a set of symbols

could you elaborate on that? especially the letters part.

I’m not speaking for Marina, but having watched many of her interviews I imagine that she is in transition from thinking in Russian to thinking in English as the years go by. Age is a big factor as Marina was an adult when she came to the US while I was a pre-teen child.

That’s true. Many researchers claim that there exist a critical period in the process of language acquisition, during which the acquisition goes quickly and effortlessly. Nobody can define the strict age of its end, but it comes between 6 and 12 y.o., earlier for the pronunciation and accent, later for more “deeper” structures of language like syntax and semantics. When learning a language begins beyond the critical age, it is probably impossible for the learner to master the language at the level of a native speaker and progressing to the near-native-like skills takes dozens of years and a great load of effort. Not all researchers believe in this theory (there are not enough supporting evidences), some of them propose a hypothesis that the decrease in skills in gradual through the life, just like general mental capacities are.

But the fact that acquiring a second language in adulthood is many times harder than in childhood remains unquestionable.

good stuff, very funny

Hmmm i’ve been thinking the same thing! but then when i look closely it seems he’s black because he usually releases rap videos..
