Using Flickr to Improve Your Russian Vocabulary

31. Overwater & Underwater / На воде и под водой

I was wandering around Flickr looking for some Russian words with photos or images. Finding the artist Maria Sergunina's set of 100 Drawings in 100 Days was like a jackpot! The drawings are accompanied by both English and Russian description. Even if you're not trying to improve your Russian vocabulary, check out her artwork anyway! This artist's black marker drawings are a fantastic find on Flickr by themselves.

"Maria Sergunina - 31. Overwater & Underwater / На воде и под водой - Part of my project "100 Drawings in 100 Days". Liners, black marker, 10*14 cm (4*5.6 in). / Проект "100 рисунков за 100 дней". Линеры, черный маркер, 10*14 см."

In this sample, the artwork is a great graphic representation that can remind us how "вода" is expressed in prepositional case and instrumental case.

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
