Nice to Meet You

We have been learning some common greetings for when you go to Ukraine or meet a Ukrainian child.  Hello.  How are you?  What is your name?  And now we have to learn to say "nice to meet you."  The easy and informal way is "Очень приятно" (o-chen pree-yat-nah).  Or the more formal, which I practiced and practiced before I went to Ukraine the first time, is "Приятно познакомиться (Pree-yatnah poz-nah-ko-meet'sa).  ("Очень" by the way means "very" and is often used like our own adverb: very hungry, very cold, I miss you very much.  It sounds kind of like ocean but with a "ch" instead of "sh".)   It definitely helps to listen to the words, not just read them!  A free downloadable resource is "Before You Know It". Yes, it is free.  No excuse not to download it and practice a little Russian daily.  You won't regret it!  http://www.byki.com/fls/FLS.html
