... I got admitted to "Russian for Beginners" at my University! Can't wait to get started and delve into this wonderful language!

I know for sure that my skills will come to use during my forthcoming Russia / Uzbekistan trip!

Большое спасибо. Я по-прежнему приходится рассчитывать на Переводчик Google, однако. Very Happy

Советую избегать употребления слова "однако" в конце русских предложений (по аналогии с английским "though"). Так говорят только чукчи из анекдотов Smile

"не надо использовать" и "не надо НЕ использовать" - разные вещи Smile Смысл меняется на противоположный.

See, Google failed me again. And my dictionary was elsewhere. According to Google "уже не" means "not anymore". Guess it was all wrong. Smile

Edit: checked with my dictionary; "Мне больше не надо ..." is obviously the way to go. Sounds odd... Confused

It's a common problem with electronic translators Smile

But "уже не" really means "not anymore". And sometimes meaning of the whole phrase in russian is heavily affected by punctuation. So.. pay attention.

No Smile It sounds normal.

P.S. if you want to ask smth about russian grammar or whatever - you're welcome Smile
