A Labor Day, an official holiday. We didn't have school on May 1st, but we were expected to march in the parade for a while, at least a couple of hours, before we could sneak away. I guess, schools and some businesses, like banks, are still closed on May 1st. But now kids probably don't have to participate in the parade. I watched a part of the big parade in Moscow in the Red Square on our tiny black and white tv. My favorite part was when they drove the huge missiles across the square; each missile as big as the truck bed it was on. Seeing them made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Hi Rita,
ReplyDeleteI’ve just come across your blog and I’m really impressed with the content you post! I’m a language enthusiast myself and along with some friends we’ve created a flashcard app. It’s called VocApp and offers a number of innovative features, such as creating flashcards from a photo,
creating flashcards with your voice, creating flashcards from a text etc.
I’ve prepared a set of 25 popular Russian verbs for you: http://vocapp.com/25-must-know-russian-verbs-flashcards-196278
Please feel free to use it on your blog! I would be honoured if the community of your readers found it useful. Also, if you have any feedback that would help me develop VocApp, I would be forever grateful! If you wanted to give it a comprehensive test, I would be happy to give you access to our paid language courses.
Wishing you the best of luck,
Camille
