Werner, As long as you don't read/pronounce Russian letters the way the same letters sound in English, you can always you can always get Lenin and not Lehin :-) Try his first and middle names: ÷ÌÁÄÉÍÉÒ éÌØÉÞ :-) Vladimir -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Werner engelmaier Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 9:37 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] NTC English EHi Louis, As somebody who learned English as a second language, I can say it is actually not so bad. Have just recently traveled former Soviet-occupied countries as well as Russia, I can tell you that Cyrillic is a major obstacle, because you cannot even sound out the words. Would you really guess that 'LEHéH' means Lenin?
