I want to see a Bolshoi Ballet Production!!! >_<
Russian is really intriguing to me, but I lack the motivation to study it. Lack of motivation may also be due to the fact that I am already preoccupied studying several other languages. I fear my brain feels overwhelmed. At the same token, I used to hear that humans only use 10% of their brain. Is this true?? If this is true, I'm upset! That means my brain can be doing so much more!!!
Anyway, I am in love with Russian art (ballet, opera, paintings, music). I really want to go see a show by the Bolshoi Ballet Company. I only want to know enough Russian to get me around the towns (Moscow & St. Petersburg), while I am there admiring their art. ^_^
A great majority of my favourite classical music composers are, indeed, Russian. Рахма́нинов (Rachmaninov) is my favourite! He is such a genius! I also like Римский-Корсаков (Rimsky-Korsakov), Чайко́вский (Tchaikovsky), Glazunov, Скря́бин (Scriabin), Ме́тнер (Medtner), Прокофьев (Prokofiev), and Кюи (Cui).
My Russian name is Майя (Ma-ee-ya). A Russian friend gave me that name, because it sounds similar to my original name. The name I thought of myself is Mайелa (Ma-ee-ye-la). I chose it because I thought it sounds Russian. Which name do you like better? :)
