Reading in Russian
Ok, so this next entry is going to be a bit strange-I was reading about perfective and imperfective verbs in Russian and so I just wanted to do a couple of sentences with the verb "to read"...Hopefully you'll be able to understand!
Когда́ я изуча́ла францу́зский (1), мы с мои́м отцо́м (2) чита́ла «Га́рри По́ттера» (3) . Хочу́ прочита́ть его́ сно́ва, но ещё (4) не могу́ о́чень хорошо́ чита́ть по-ру́сски.
1. Though the letter "з" is not pronounced in the word "французский", it does not disappear. When you speak about a nationality you say "француз". That is the checking word.
2. The preposition "с" requires usage of instructive case (if you mean the English word "with").
3. If you use a name without usage of a definition word, you must decline the name. Just compare: «Я прочитал книгу "Гарри Поттер"» / «Я прочитал "Гарри Поттера"».
4. There are two different letters in Russian - "ш" and "щ". I understand that it's a pretty difficult task for a foreigner to differ them, but you should never do that. Though I admit, that you could just miss the right key.
Когда я изучала французский, я прочитала Гарри Поттера с моим отцом. Хочу читать его на русском, но мой русский ещё не достаточно хорош для этого.
I know nothing about "perfective and imperfective verbs in Russian" so I just correct your sentences.
