- mojuba 8y agoTrue, and the English one is not a literal translation. I wish though the English version had a greater quality.
- justusthane 8y agoAs a native English speaker, I found this really well-written and entertaining. I even signed up for his email newsletter just because I liked the writing style so much.
- pxtail 8y agoNow I'm sad. If translation even slightly resembles original version then I'm sad that I'm unable to read it in Russian due to not knowing language. I like this style of writing, another blog I know where author has slightly similar style is dedoimedo.com
- thanatropism 8y agoDuolingo, my friend. Takes 15 mins a day. Not a paid endorsement.
- tomca32 8y agoNice recommendation, thanks. Also a great blog name. "Dedo i Medo" literally means "Grandpa and the Bear" in a bunch of slavic languages.
- jimbobimbo 8y agoI didn't know the author was Russian, but then I read "the stop light for a rabbit"... That totally gave it away. :-)

- mikestew 8y agoI found it quite entertaining, after figuring out that the author is Russian, when hearing it in my head with a Russian accent. I thought it well written regardless, with plenty of laughs to start my morning.
