Well, it finally happened… I experienced my first dream in which I can remember – me – speaking in Russian!

Yes, I’m studying Russian. Not all the time, as my focus changes from week to week, and month to month. But, I have consistently been trying to actively improve my Russian language skills over time, and it’s one of my primary goals in living here in the Ukraine. Sure, I could have taken the “bull by the horns” and buried myself in the language… but alas, I’ve had other things to do, and other interests – even though a solid Russian language ability would likely have improved my experiences over the past 18 months. Blah, blah, blah – yadda, yadda, yuddah…  I’m doing it at my own pace.

Nevertheless, this morning I think I turned a proverbial corner. I dreamt that I was spaking in Russian! Funnily enough, I was sort of struggling to keep up with the conversation I was following (two others were talking while I was listening) –> but I was “catching the drift” of the conversation, and it was somewhat making sense. Then I chimed in with a “конечно,” during a pause in the action.

конечно means “of course” or “obviously.”

конечно is a word that is used all of the time in Russian.

It is pronounced like “konieshno.” (sort of)

Anyhow, I just wanted to share that with you, since I’m just now getting to bed, and I’m hoping to dream in Russian once again.

спокойной ночи  = good night!

Oh, and I found this link… and I thought it was interesting.
