    Marina, you should try the new game “Call Of Duty: World At War”. There’s a mini game in it called “Nazi Zombies” and one of the weapons you can use are: 4 Molotov Cocktails.

    They’re even more deadly than in GTA IV. I think of all the times I tried using them, I’ve killed maybe 3 zombies. I killed myself like 10 times. If they explode too close, you instantly die (which isn’t good if the rest of the team can’t save you).

    I was Curious of the Word “Won’t, which is a contraction for Will not. I wanted to know why the contraction is not Willn’t. Do not is Don’t. Does not is Doesn’t. So where did won’t come from?

    ok to throw the Molotov Cocktail(or grenade) you have to hold down the aim button and then hold the fire buttin so you dont just drop them and yes i have played the game and i more or less enjoy jumping ou of choppers

    this is his son, koty. I think you are doing a great job and i believe Grand theft auto IV is great. A major improvement of GTA 3. I would like to know the origin of the phrase “charlie horse”.

    omg that was awesome, I am self teaching Russian right now and it is super hard without a teacher. You should do a “simple” Russian video, like how to say Thank you, yes, no, hi, bye… that kind of stuff.

    Dear teacher,
    You could go on in Russian forever, I’d love it –
    - here in France my first foreign language was English, and 2nd… Russian, this lesson reminds me good old times, when I was a young boy.
    who knows , if my Russian teachers had had half your charm,
    maybe I’d become a Russian/French translator ?

    btw, Love the blunders in Russian, even if I can catch only part of them.

    Very Good!!! I like your lesson! It’s the best!
    Супер! На щет GTA IV – нажми и удержывай кнопку “огонь”…
    В зависимости от того сколько держать… зависит как далеко упадет Коктейль Молотова…

    The same way you throw the grenade you have to hold the button down (only for just a few seconds and then release, hold it for a long time and it blows up on you)…. I wish i had an example of how that works in everyday life, maybe i can think of “1″ :wink:

    Dear Marina

    Yesterday a saw your russian explanation about Molotov Cocktail with legend in english. Well, I’m brazilian and love this site but my english is not good to understand all that you say. Then, I would like know if it’s possible to insert english legend on all diary hotforwords. So people around the world could follow, well, hotforwords explanations and improve english. You would become the most sensual, sexy and intelligent teacher of the world.

    Молодец! Я вижу что многие, спасибо тебе, хотят выучить Русский язык. Я начила серию на Ю-тюбе под назбанием “Russian Lessons”. :idea: Тебя прошу, пожалуйста, помоги мне. :razz: Покажи линк на моё видео в твоём описание. Это мне так поможет, даже не предстовлаешь. Мой канал на YouTube называется RussianVlog.

      Hummm Might be good for a few of us to learn a few phrases. I watched the first lesson. A bit to fast for me. But I guess she was making it more like an introduction to the language. Tagalog, Spanish, German, & Greek are a few languages I have played around with. Greek looks somewhat similar in text as Russian. Do they have the same roots or is just a quincidence?

      • m.philos says:
        128.1.1

        sure !
        I was told by my teacher in my 1st year learning Russian at French school, that the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet settled in the 9th century after the work of two Orthodox monks – hmm maybe they were Saints as well –

        So they borrowed from Greek alphabet they used for liturgy many letters to represent phones of the slavic languages they spoke.
        - You’ll find a deeper explanation in Wikipedia’s “Cyrillic” article -

        Dear fellow student
        If I may, the two orthodox monks were called Cyrillus and methodus if I remember.
        Just wanted to help.

    I request the word Pigeon. In Grand Theft Auto 4, you can collect 200 pigeons and was wondering, why they are named that. And why they are so frequent around New York City. Thanks.

    Marina, I would like to know the origin of the word Erebus. I have no desire to know about the mountain but i do know what erebus means. and i guess its from greek mythology but i want to know where THEY thought of it. definition is this:Classical Mythology. The darkness under the earth, imagined either as the abode of sinners after death or of all the dead.

    Dear teacher,
    Goddam it! a little bit of time to write something to my teacher!
    Very interesting to see the real person. A big gift to us all. Thank you!
    But a little bit difficult to analyse the sound of russian!
    Bon, puisque c’est comme ça, nous aussi, les élèves qui ne pittons rien au russe, on peut parler dans une langue étrangère !!!!! Et alors là ? Quid understand lo que Ich dis? Because das est facile no mais!!!!! :mrgreen:
    Well, to answer your question, I don’t play GTAIV. I prefer roleplaying games.
    Thank you for this interesting lesson.
    Your devoted student

    Hmm, that spaghetti looks so tasty, it made me wonder, what is the origin of the word spaghetti (I guess it comes from Italian), but what really is it’s origin.
    Please share your spaghetti recipe with the class…

    I would like to request the word computer hacker

    • captainjack says:
      122.1

      Thats two words. You only get one word or one phrase. :mrgreen:

      Yours truly started hacking and pirating back in 1979. I wrote my first virus before I knew they where called viruses. I called it a prank program but it was an early form of computer virus. It was called A dot F. written in BASIC or Applesoft (A Microsoft language – yes Bill Gates was writing for Apple back then, where do you think he got the idea of Windows?)

      Both Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs where early computer hackers. The even built blue boxes. Some of the early Macintosh/Apple programs like VisiCal (one of the first spreadsheet programs) where hacks.

      I was able to duck out of Operation Sundevil :twisted: I think its because I kept myself as a low level hacker. I didn’t boast my hacks.

      I think there are two distinct classifications of hackers. White Hat (good) and Black Hat (bad) hackers. Yea and even Gray Hats, but I’m not going there.

      Oh the Secret Service is knocking on my door. I have to run bye… :twisted:

    Please define and relate the history of the word “Latin”. I’m latino, but I also understand that there are Latin Europeans, and of course, other variations, such as Latin Americans, and so on. As a word, it has very much Euro-centric connotation in meaning, just as much as Hispanic. Can you convey its meaning and importance in totality to people who seem to have little to no knowledge of its true meaning.
