Alex speaks Russian. So Jerry has been learning it to beat the band. I'm seriously impressed. We've had help from a local friend named Elena, who is from Russia.
Jerry went to Elena's home yesterday for some practice, and they were fiddling with Google Translate. It's mostly a VERY good app. We hope it will help us out in the institution if we really need to communicate something beyond all the set phrases. But it has its quirks, like this one:
English: May we take him for a walk down the street?
Google translates:
Russian: May we take him for a walk to a bar?
Yah, THAT would go over well.
