замедлять (zamedlyat') (slow)

Today was slow. 

Apparently the paint your own pottery studio doesn't stock eggs past Easter. Who knew?? (Duh! This is a learning curve for me, as well.)

We looked up some words, using the google translation app. I marvel the words he wanted to know: stop (остановить) (ostanovit'), go (идти) (idti), planet (планет) (planet) (kind of sounds like the English word), computer (компьютер) (komp'yuter) (again, kind of sounds like the English word), box (коробка) (korobka) (the noun, not the verb), love (любить) (lyubit') (which sounds a bit like the German word for love). We had fun listening to the words over and over again while trying to wrap our tongues around the very foreign-sounding syllables.

Onward and upward tomorrow!!
