В центре Бишкека очень интересно и зелено. Много памятников, парков, скульптур. 

Strolling around Bishkek downtown is quite interesting and relaxing. It’s dotted with numerous monuments, sculptures and parks.

Russian Idiom: как не знаю кто

Как не знаю кто often cannot be translated directly. It is an idiom meaning “to the extreme degree, too much”. “Я не знаю кто”, literally, I don’t know who, implies that any comparisons with other people or other events would be too weak, too pale. “I don’t know who could be as [something] as you are now”

Here are a few examples for you (thanks, Reverso Context) : 

Эти девушки смотрели на тебя как не знаю кто. These girls have been lookin’ at you like I don’t know what.

Нет, я еду домой, вымотался как не знаю кто. No, I’m going home. I’m completely soaked. 

Надевает наушники и радуется, как не знаю кто. He’s listening on his headsets, happy as a clam.

Ты пьяна как не знаю кто. You’re really drunk.

Воевали как я не знаю кто, чтобы сделать это. You have fought through hell to do so.

langblr playlists

Hello :)

Listening to music in my target language(s) always helped me a lot with pronunciation, vocabulary and use of language, so i’ve decided to share my spotify playlists that each focus on one language!

Some of them are still under construction and don’t have a lot of songs, but they will grow, I promise!

Links:

Arabic  Bulgarian  Chinese  Estonian  Finnish  French  Georgian  German  Hungarian  Italian  Japanese  Korean  Lithuanian  Norwegian  Polish  Portuguese  Romanian  Russian  Serbian  Sámi  Slovene  Spanish  Tagalog  Thai  Turkish  Ukrainian 

Big playlist with non-English songs only: click here

If the playlist links do not work, this link will lead you to my page!

❗ The Russian and German playlists are now also available on YouTube ❗

Note: These playlists are sorted by language, not by country! You might notice different accents!

10/02/2021 Updating this older post as well since people keep reblogging it! Added a Sámi, Tagalog, and Italian playlist and recreated the Russian and German playlists on YouTube (more to follow). ❤
