This is the start of the promised return of Huliganov, with the alphabet already covered in the previous series of ten lessons we launch into the basics of the grammar of the Russian language.
Here Viktor Dmitrievitch Huliganov intrioduces his new vlogging format - first a lesson on the Russian language, starting with the alphabet, then a joke, and finally a song. In this case the lesson is the origins of the Russian alphabet and the benefits of learning it, the joke is about parrots and the song is "Some Enchanted Evening".

I'm on my way back from Hungary here, and we see the villages and towns of eastern Slovakia, and meet three really friendly Slovaks, Mirka, Luboslav and Martina, who sing a fine Slovak song for us.

My thanks go to FelicityPaw cattery for allowing me to film their collection of fine thoroughbred Bengals. We decided in the end for Pushkin, the marbled brown four month kitten you see in the frame at 10:40, and reserved him, but I am still hoping for comments and advice from bengal cat cognoscenti. I'm due to pick Pushkin up and bring him home in two weeks.
So, here we are this evening in Karczma na Straconce, just uphill into the Beskid mountains from Bielsko-Biala. Here we see real highland Poles from Silesia and Malopolska singing in their dialect, and in the upland style that links the Beskids, Tatras, Carpathians and Balkans in one long folk-musical chain.
I was asked on the group http://groups.google .com/group/huliganov by Chandler for help with rolling the "r"s. I give what help I can, and go into a detailed linguistic panorama of this liquid consonant.
Here Viktor Dmitrievich Huliganov continues with Russian lesson number 2. The theme of today's lesson, which is followed by a joke and a song, is the letters KOMETA which have basically the same values in the Russian alphabet and the English, but look out! There are "leetle trickies" which mean that even these are not quite as simple as they look!

Here we take a side step for one lesson and deal with the issue of Russian given names, featuring the full form and diminuative of the main names and a breakdown as to origin. It rounds off with the usual joke and song, this time a version of My Way with lyrics written by the Russian comedian Evgenii Petrosyan
The next instalment of Viktor Huliganov's acclaimed Russian alphabet course. After this lesson your knowledge of Russian letters increases from 17 of the 33 to 22 of them. With these it is now possible to write and read just about every other word in Cyrillics.
As ever, there is a joke and a song after the lesson. You don't get that at University.
My answer to Aeric. Aeric asked me for input a while back, but at that time it wasn't downloading properly. Thankfully I have managed to see it tonight, and here's my input in an impressive bit of Polish speaking by Aeric.
In another e-video about Poland, we take a trip to Grudziadz. An unexpected detour before the Vistula, a person blocking the left turn and some pastel coloured blocks all add to the scintillation of this piece.
I have taken it in the neck for my earlier film about Grudziadz, so, as promised, I'm back. I only had 20 minutes to take shots of the old town area, and I don't think I got the lot, but at least this gives a different perspective that the other film, which I will make this a video response to.
