My Russian is a bit rusty, but the slogan at the end of each commercial reads "Service By Contract - Your Ticket To The Future". As I understand it, the Russian military has been moving to a mixed force of volunteers (i.e. "contract") and conscripts. Very slick ads!
As I said, my Russian is rusty (been a long time since university). I understood maybe 10% of the conversation between the couple in the first ad. Translating from the written is always easier than interpreting speech in any language (at least for me). Could I ask where you found the translation? YouTube?
stegner, you may want to have a look at this web site http://www.transparent.com/wotd/today/german.htm. I use it for French (they don't have Russian ). You sign up for free and they email you a word a day which includes a WAV file for the word and a sentence using the word. I find it very helpful.
BTW, I see you're studying Poli Sci, that was what I did my degree in at U of T (graduated in '84! Where did all the years go? LOL) I wish you the best with your studies, both German and other subjects.
Cougar Daddy- Apologies indeed! The consultation of your post has led me to conclude that the "The Hoff" is the key to German plans on world domination. Whilst, reviewing the "The Hoff" video, I distinctly had the feeling that Ooga chakka....Ooga chakka....Ooga chakka.... is a subliminal message! I think the song is the key to explaining the recent outbreak of aggressive behaviour to mobilize the population for these ends. All the more reason to practice my German to help thwart these dastardly machinations I say. Please keep me posted on further developments.
