Class project offers 365 days of Russian
By Kathy Quirk
June 4, 2014
A Russian who wants to tell someone not to try to pull the wool over his eyes uses the Russian phrase: “Don’t hang noodles on my ears.”
That entry for Jan. 16, 2015, is just one of 365 days’ worth of Russian slang and colloquial expressions that UW-Milwaukee Russian students have collected and now published in a calendar.
The 2015 calendar, “Russian Rulit” or “Russian Rocks,” was created during the 2014 spring semester by students in Russian 311: Advanced Grammar and Conversation, and is available on CreateSpace or Amazon.com All proceeds from the sale of the calendar go to UWM’s Russian Club.
Read the full article and access links where you can purchase the calendar at http://www5.uwm.edu/news/2014/06/04/class-project-offers-365-days-of-russian
