    Unlock the hidden rhythms of Russian conversation with A Language Learner’s Guide to Russian Idioms, narrated by Ernest Timkin and crafted by linguist Dana Levina. This audiobook isn’t just about memorizing phrases—it’s a cultural passport, revealing how Russians weave humor, history, and wisdom into everyday speech. Imagine transforming awkward pauses into confident exchanges by knowing when to say someone’s “counting crows” (считать ворон) instead of daydreaming, or calling out empty promises as “noodles hung on ears” (вешать лапшу на уши). Whether you’re a traveler aiming to navigate local markets without getting “led by the nose” (водить за нос), a student tired of “thumbing wooden blocks” (бить баклуши) instead of studying, or a professional striving to “take the bull by the horns” (брать быка за рога) in meetings, these idioms bridge the gap between textbook Russian and authentic dialogue. Each expression unfolds with vivid context: Learn why “walking on heels” (ходить по пятам) means relentless pursuit, how “sitting on needles” (сидеть как на иголках) captures nail-biting anxiety, and when to “keep your ear sharp” (держать ухо востро) in tricky situations. Perfect for learners craving cultural fluency, this guide turns idioms from curiosities into tools, helping you decode films, literature, and casual chats with ease. Dive in—before you know it, you’ll be swapping stale translations for phrases that make Russians lean in and smile. Удачи! (Good luck!)

    A Daring True Story"Truly an epic of adventure and perseverance, this is great inspiration for anyone who thinks of someday tackling the impossible" -- New York Times best-selling author Clive CusslerOn June 10, 2006, four college friends stepped into a 29-foot rowboat as the only American competitors in the first North Atlantic Rowing Race.From the initial idea and chaotic race planning to heaving through cold ocean swells, author and lead rower Jordan Hansen takes us along as the crew heads out from New York Harbor, racing against three other teams; catches theelusive Gulf Stream current; and makes the final dramatic push for the finish line off the coast of England. Hurricane-level winds, giant ocean eddies, passing freighters, and sharks are all elements of the journey, while the tension on board comes to a head on Day 17-with another 55 days to go when the crew realizes their supplies are running out and they must drastically ration their food.The race is set against the backdrop of Jordan's own reflections on both his biological father, who passed away many years earlier, and his stepfather. Combined with the details of how he and his teammates cope within the confines of their tiny boat, and their determination to push their limits, it creates a remarkable coming-of-age story- and an intimate account full of thrilling adventure and compelling emotion."A beautiful sense of place and a compelling portrait of four men locked in an epic struggle with the ocean and, occasionally; with themselves. Gripping."-Roz Savage, first woman to row three oceans and author of ‘Rowing the Atlantic’“Too often in our lives we are told what we cannot do. Hanssen's story deftly accomplishes the opposite. It might not catapult you into a rowboat, but be warned; you may be enticed to alter course."-Jill Fredston, author of Rowing to Latitude
