I have a Belarussian (is that right?)woman and daughter coming to clean tomorrow .

I wondered if anyone knew any Russian words.

Several friends use her, they say its hard to communicate.

Just wondering. . .

My great grandma (Baba) came from Belarus; sadly, I don't know any Russian. But you could try this website:

http://www.talkrussian.com/phrases.htm

Kind of you to want to communicate. And smart of you to have a cleaning service! That reminds me, Baba cleaned houses too.

I met them today! Mother and daughter came to see my house (hope it didn't scare them) .

We'll start next week with them and I'm excited.

They know very little English. Okay, like. . .none.

This will be so great for us. My kids are already fascinated with the Russian alphabet.

Thanks for the website. I'll check it out. I just want to be able to explain some simple things to them. Several of my friends (hs-ing moms) have used them for a while and said it works out.

Dh has been asking me to get help for a LONG time!

PS-
that's neat about your Great-Grandma. Honestly I know nothing about this culture.

I feel a "Rabbit Trail" coming on. . .
