We just learned that to ask if someone speaks Russian you say Ты говоришь по-русски? or Вы говорите по русски?.
To say dog in Russian, you say собака (sobaka) and it sounds like soh-bah-kah 文A
To say cat in Russian, you say кошка (koshka) and it sounds like koh-sh-kah 文A
Also in Russian, cats say Мяу-мяу (myaoo myaoo) and dogs say Гав-гав (gahf-gahf)
