	Dictionaries
	To test whether a given combination of words is grammatical, enclose the phrase in quotation marks and Google it. Fewer than 1,000 hits is generally a bad sign. To find proper nouns, search in English Wikipedia, then click русский in the languages menu. Using the dictionary links on our site and all other Internet resources at your disposal, conduct the experiments described below. Think of ways to test your findings. Find the Russian word for “engaged” (as in, engaged to be married.) Find at least three different Russian words for a computer bug. Then try to find out which is the most common. Find the common Russian word for an act of terrorism, including its stress. Find more than one translation for “Ground Zero” when referring to the New York site of the 9/11 attacks. Then try to find out if one is more standard than the others. Find a standard translation for “Republican primary.” Figure out how to write a single-sentence ad seeking a female penpal in perfect Russian. If you have done all of the above, have each group member think of a specialized term he or she would need to talk about a hobby or interest, and find out how to say it in Russian.
