Я не знал, что была такая вещь. That's going to take some getting used to. :d

Оскар, только не слушай группу Ленинград. А то научишься не очень приличным русским словам

Well, most people seem to learn the swears and insults first when they learn a new language. And i already know one Russian insult, which i learned in school. I will not write it here as i don't want anyone to be offended.

я думаю русскую музыку надо начинать слушать с классики
Чайковский , Глинка, Шостакович например

Чайковский , Глинка, Шостакович например

- согласен, только с точки зрения изучения русского языка это довольно бесполезно - в большинстве классических произведений нет слов.

[Pavel11]

деятельность и творческий путь Семенович и русский язык тоже не очень сочетаются

- ну, в ее песнях хотя бы матерных слов нет, а то мы сейчас нашего Оскара научим.

Actually, Pavel, i am not a huge fan of classical music. Not a huge fan of most modern music either (hiphop, rap, RnB, etc.). I prefer metal, country, rock and in some cases pop. There are some exceptions though. But i might take some time to listen to the three you mentioned.

As for Semenovich, as i said, i found her music by accident. Creative or not, she has made some good songs.

I am however a little bit confused by the translation "language is not very combined" which i am not sure what it means. Yes, i still use Google Translate when i find something hard to read and/or understand,. But the good news is that i was able to read and almost exactly translate Pavel's post, number 32, on my own this morning.

- funny, but I can't translate it back to Russian either... How the phrase was originally written in Russian?

If i have quoted the right part of the post it would be "русский язык тоже не очень сочетаются"

It was only part of the reply that Pavel posted, so i might have misunderstood something.

- Aha, that was actually meaning "Semenovich songs and Russian language do not quite match [each other]".

[MSX]

Ah, ok. That does make more sense. I wonder what he meant?

[MSX]

I wonder what he meant?

- I think Pavel simply dislikes her.

[MSX]

Well, everyone has their own taste.

Frankly, I can't actually remember any of her songs right now but I remember well her... umm... big eyes

Yes, those... Eyes are pretty hard to miss. :d
But honestly, she has made some songs that i rather like.

That is a song i am very familiar with, i had a classmate who used to play the Soviet national anthem on his phone quite often. For no reason. He has no links to Russia at all. And considering his anti-communist views i was very surprised.

Sadly my learning has nearly stopped, but as i've got a lot of spare time since my graduation i've finally decided to sign up for a proper language course. 12 weeks, from September to December. A beginners course, so not too much at once. But atleast i've got a little head start.
