Day 17 - Always on the Phone

Today's Tasks

1. Read the lesson context.
2. Listen to the audio clips several times until the sounds feel familiar. Do not repeat aloud—just listen and absorb.
3. Download the Anki deck and review it daily. It includes all the audio clips in today's lesson for efficient review. Review previous decks if prompted to do so.
4. Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Russian audio. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it.

Audio Clips

• 1.
  Ты сегодня вообще меня слушаешь? Или опять в телефон уткнулся?

  Are you even listening to me today? Or are you buried in your phone again?
• 2.
  А? Чё? Да слушаю я... Просто сообщение пришло, отвечал.

  Huh? What? I am listening... I just got a message and was replying.
• 3.
  Вечно ты онлайн. С тобой говорить - как стенке рассказывать.

  You're always online. Talking to you is like talking to a wall.
• 4.
  Да ладно тебе, всё я слышу. Ты про отпуск рассказываешь.

  Oh come on, I'm hearing everything. You're talking about your vacation.
• 5.
  Вообще-то я уже минут пять про работу толкую, а ты и не заметил.

  Actually, I've been talking about work for five minutes, and you didn't even notice.
• 6.
  Ой... Прости. Привычка дурацкая - в телефоне зависать. Буду исправляться.

  Oh... Sorry. It's a stupid habit — getting stuck on the phone. I'll try to fix it.
• 7.
  Ну да, а то живой разговор совсем не клеится.

  Yeah, otherwise a real conversation just isn't happening.
• 8.
  Всё-всё, убираю телефон. Давай с начала: что там у тебя на работе?

  Alright, alright, I'm putting my phone away. Let's start over: what's going on at work?
