Imagine you BAK a BULL in your oven. What you do is to imagine this picture in your mind's eye as vividly as possible. # After you have read the image you should think about it in your mind's eye for about 10 seconds before pressing to move on to the next word. If you do not spend enough time thinking about the image it will not stick in your memory as well as it should. If you want to be sure of having ten seconds then press immediately after you have read the image. Ten seconds later a new image will be presented. # Section 1 should be regarded mainly as a training section aimed at familiarizing you with the Linkword method and enabling you to pick up a large vocabulary of words quickly and easily. # REMEMBER In the images parts, when you press a new image will be presented immediately. To wait ten seconds press . # * %PRESENT 1 10 0 ANIMALS CAT KOSHKA you COSH CAts. DOG SABAKA horses are unreliable, SO BACK A dog instead. GOAT KAZA CASA Blanca, full of goats. COW KAROVA driving your CAR OVER a cow. GOOSE GOOS' a GOOSE drinking vodka. BULL BAYK you BAKE a bull in your oven. PIG SVEENYA a German saying "This pig is a real SVINE, YA!" DONKEY ASYOL someone saying "AS YOU'LL know, a donkey is a little horse". WORM CHERV' a CHEF cooking worms. (WILD) ANIMAL ZVER' a large SPHERE containing wild animals. * %TEXT 1 ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR There is no word for THE or A in Russian. 0 For example, KOSHKA may mean A CAT 0  or CAT 0 or THE CAT. So, the Russian for: 0 THE CAT is KOSHKA 0 A DOG is SABAKA 0 PIG is SVEENYA 0 THE COW is KAROVA When you translate from Russian, use either 'A' or 'THE' to fit in with the other words in the sentence. # PLEASE NOTE: You will have noticed that some words end with an apostrophe (for example, GOOS'). Just ignore this apostrophe at this stage. # * %PRESENT 2 10 0 MORE ANIMALS BEE PCHELA a bee on a CELLO. ELEPHANT SLON a SLOANE Ranger riding an elephant. FISH RAYBA a fish with RABIES bites you. WASP ASA thinking "AS A wasp I would be no good". SALMON LASOS' Frenchmen always eat salmon with 'LA SAUCE'. RAT KRAYSA you CROSS A rat with an elephant! MOUSE MAYSH' you MASH up a mouse. FOX LEESA LISA Minelli chasing a fox. WOLF VOLK a wolf on top of a VOLCano. REPTILE GAD GOD sent a reptile to the Garden of Eden. * %TEXT 1 ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR: Genders. All nouns (or things) in Russian are either MASCULINE or FEMININE or NEUTER. # You can tell the gender of most nouns by looking at their last letter: If a noun ends in a CONSONANT it is MASCULINE. So, BAYK and ASYOL are both masculine. If a noun ends with -A or -YA it is FEMININE. So, SVEENYA is feminine. If a noun ends in -O or -YE it is NEUTER. So, ZYERKALO (mirror) is neuter. (ZYERKALO will be found later). # All animals are either masculine or feminine gender. 0 So, 0 KAROVA is feminine 0 SLON is masculine 0 VOLK is masculine 0 KRAYSA is feminine. # PLEASE NOTE: Words ending with an apostrophe in this Section are almost always masculine. MAYSH', however, is a feminine word. # * %PRESENT 3 6 0 SOME USEFUL WORDS QUICK BAYSTRAY you want some PASTRY QUICK. QUIET TEEKHEE it was always QUIET on the KonTIKI expedition. INTERESTING EENTYERYESNAY it is INTERESTING to drink vodka. VICIOUS ZLOY a SLY, VICIOUS man. OLD STARAY an OLD man staring up at a clear, STARRY sky. NEW NOVAY something NOVEL and NEW. * %TEXT 0 ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR You do not normally use a word for IS in Russian. 0 To say THE DONKEY IS INTERESTING 0 you say ASYOL EENTYERYESNAY. Since ASYOL is masculine, you use EENTYERYESNAY, the masculine form of the adjective, to go with it. When you are given a new adjective it is always in the masculine form. # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 A WOLF IS VICIOUS VOLK ZLOY THE REPTILE IS QUIET GAD TEEKHEE THE BULL IS QUICK BAYK NOVAY THE GOOSE IS OLD GOOS' STARAY THE DONKEY IS QUICK ASYOL BAYSTRAY * %SENTENCES_F_E 5 ZVER' ZLOY THE ANIMAL IS VICIOUS GOOS' EENTYERYESNAY THE GOOSE IS INTERESTING LASOS' BAYSTRAY THE SALMON IS FAST VOLK STARAY THE WOLF IS OLD SLON TEEKHEE THE ELEPHANT IS QUIET * %PRESENT 4 10 0 SOME MORE ANIMALS FLY MOOKHA a fly on a MOO COW.

WHALE KEET the poet John KEATS, writing about whales. TIGER TEEGR hitting a TIGER over the head with a bottle of vodka. LION LYEV you LIVE near a lion. TROUT FARYAYL' a trout singing "FOR YE'LL take the High Road and I'll take the Low Road, and I'll be in Scotland before you". * %TEXT 1 ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR In the sentences so far only masculine animals have been used, and masculine adjectives (like BAYSTRAY and NOVAY) were used to describe them. If you want to use an adjective with a feminine animal, the adjective must be in a feminine form. To make an adjective feminine you add -AYA to the main part of the word. # 0 So, 0 BAYSTRAY becomes BAYSTRAYA 0 TEEKHEE becomes TEEKHAYA 0 EENTYERYESNAY becomes EENTERYESNAYA 0 ZLOY becomes ZLAYA 0 STARAY becomes STARAYA 0 NOVAY becomes NOVAYA 0 THE DOG IS VICIOUS is SABAKA ZLAYA 0 THE CAT IS OLD is KOSHKA STARAYA # PLEASE NOTE: In the vocabulary, all the adjectives have been given in the masculine form. # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 THE FISH IS INTERESTING RAYBA EENTYERYESNAYA THE WASP IS VICIOUS ASA ZLAYA THE GOAT IS OLD KAZA STARAYA THE BEE IS QUICK PCHELA BAYSTRAYA THE FOX IS QUIET LEESA TEEKHAYA * %SENTENCES_F_E 5 RAYBA TEEKHAYA THE FISH IS QUIET MAYSH' NOVAYA THE MOUSE IS NEW (Remember, MAYSH' is feminine).

In this position only, after IS or some other form of the verb TO BE, it is possible to use a shorter form of the adjective. To get this you take the -AY or -EE ending off the adjective. So, another way to say THE CHEESE IS OLD is SAYR STAR. # This is the masculine form to go with masculine nouns. For feminine nouns you must add -A, and for a neuter noun you add -O. 0 So, THE MEAT IS OLD is MYASO STARO THE VODKA IS OLD is VOTKA STARA. The plural form for all genders ends in -AY. 0 So, THE TROUSERS ARE OLD is SHTANAY STARAY. # To summarise: For MASCULINE adjectives, you can drop the adjective ending. For FEMININE adjectives, you add -A at the end. For NEUTER adjectives, you add -O at the end. For ALL PLURALS, you add -AY. 0 So, 0 THE BREAD IS NEW is KHLYEB NOV 0 THE EGG IS NEW is YAYTSO NOVO 0 THE VODKA IS NEW is VOTKA NOVA 0 THE TIGER IS QUICK is TEEGR BAYSTR 0 THE TOMATOES ARE NEW is PAMEEDORAY NOVAY # Some adjectives are used mostly in the short form. One or two have not got a long form at all, like RAD (glad). HE IS GLAD can only be translated as ON RAD. When an adjective is given to you without the ending -AY or -EE, then it is usually in the short form. There are only one or two exceptions to this rule, but you will still be understood even if you make a mistake.

The 'T'' is pronounced softly, like the T in TUESDAY. It is very easy to make the past tense of the verb from a form such as TO EAT, TO DRINK, etc. If a masculine word is the subject of the verb, you take off the -T' and add -L. 0 So, TO DRINK is PEET' 0 HE DRANK is ON PEEL. # Whatever masculine word you use the verb will remain the same: THE TIGER DRANK is TEEGR PEEL. 0 TEEGR PEEL also means: 0 THE TIGER WAS DRINKING, 0 THE TIGER HAS DRUNK, 0 THE TIGER USED TO DRINK, and 0 THE TIGER HAD BEEN DRINKING There is only one past tense in Russian, so for any action which happened in the past you use this form of the verb. An exception to this is the verb TO EAT (YEST'). The past tense is ON YEL. # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 THE BOY WAS SLEEPING MALCHIK SPAL THE WAITER USED TO GIVE SPOONS AFEETSEEANT DAVAL LOJKEE HE LIKED TEA ON LYOOBEEL CHAY THE HORSE WAS TAKING A FLOWER KON' BRAL TSVYET (MY) BROTHER HAD BEEN TALKING FOR AN HOUR BRAT GAVAREEL CHAS * %TEXT 0 PLEASE NOTE: In the last sentence (MY) BROTHER HAD BEEN TALKING FOR AN HOUR BRAT GAVAREEL CHAS remember that you did not have to translate MY.
