Telling the time in Russian
Привет
I'm reading through a conversation where the two speakers talk about meeting up for dinner and mention the time 6:30 in two different ways:
Как насчёт шести тридцати?
Давай встретимся прямо здесь в шесть тридцать.
Would the two different ways be interchangeable in either sentence, or are there specific reasons for why they're used in these manners?
Спасибо большое!

Difference between "thinking about" and "thinking in" in Spanish? Would both be "pensar en" ?

Entry 1
Hello (שלום)
I would like to start writing small daily entries about myself or my day. Structured lessons are good, however I feel like if I want to be able to have a conversation I will need to talk about things I actually do or things that actually happened.
My vocab in Hebrew is pretty small right now, so I'll keep it simple in the beginning and probably plug some words from Google Translate, but I'd still like some feedback because usage or conjugation or something will be wrong.
I figured a good way to do it would be put what I want to say in English so you can see what I'm trying to say.
Hello everyone. My name is Mark. I am 35 and am from New York. I am married. We have a daughter and one more on the way. I have a brother and a sister. I like studying languages. I have studied Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Hebrew. Thank you very much.
שלןם כל. שמי מארך. אני בנ שלושים וחמש, אני מניו יורך. אני נשוי. יש לנו בת אחת ועוד אחת בדרך. יש לי אח אחד גם אחות אחת. אני אוהב לומד שפות. אני לומד ספארדית, סינית, רוסית, גם עברית. תודה רבה.

Accounting Expressions in Chinese?
你好,
So I've been studying Chinese a few years now, on and off, but have never really been able to engage in much discussion, partly because I can't talk about what I do. Language courses always teach you how to say things like a teacher, chef, judge, lawyer, etc but never follow up with vocabulary on what the job actually is.
I think one way to say accountant is 會計師 but that's all I know. Could someone out there help me with saying things like:
accounting
balance sheet
income statement
financial statements
prepare taxes
tax return
give clients (顧客 or 客戶?) financial advice
work 60 hours a week
謝謝

Nuestro viaje
Hola todos.
Mis amigos y yo acabamos de hacer un viaje a las montañas en el estado Tennessee. Alquilamos una cabaña que tenía mucha cosas muy buenas. La sala de estar fue muy grande y tenía una televisión por la pared sobre una chimenea. La cocina tenía todo lo que necesitamos. Habían dos dormitorios y una sofá que se convierta a una cama. La ducha tenía dos alcachofas. Afuera de la sala de estar, habían un balcón con una mesa para comer.
Originalmente, fuimos a las montañas porque intentamos a esquiar y hacer snowboard [correcto??], pero hizo demasiado calor. En lugar de nevar, llovío el sabado. Llovío tan mucho, mis brazos estuvieron muy mojados, ¡aunque debajo de mi chaqueta y un paraguas! El lunes, hizo frío y nevó, pero no acumuló.
A pesar de esto, nos divertimos mucho. En el sótano de la cabaña habían muchas cosas interesantes. Había una sala de cine, donde jugamos videojuegos y miramos una pelea UFC (¡duró solo cuarenta segundos y costá sesenta y cinco dólares!). Tambien miramos nuestros videos DVD de patineta. Había una mesa de billar, un juego que nosotros tambien jugabamos cuando ibamos más jovenes. Por fín, habían una piscina climatizada adentro, ¡y un jacuzzi afuera además de un otra chimenea! Nos sentamos en el jacuzzi a las dos por la mañana la primera noche del viaje, y otra vez la última noche a pesar de la temperatura de menos de treinta grados.
Fue un viaje muy divertido, y ya planamos nuestro viaje próximo.
Otro vocabulario:
Cómo se dice:
Guys' trip (ie, a trip among friends that are all guys)
The master bedroom overlooked the living room.
I kept losing in pool because I kept scratching the 8-ball.
We brought a poker set to play cards.
Gracias por la ayuda.

Use of "пока"
привет,
I've heard of the word "пока" used to say "bye bye", however I'm seeing it used differently in this sentence: "вы можете слушать пока вы гуляете". What would it mean in this sentence? If it's meaning "while" or "during" how does that correlate to meaning "bye"?
спасибо

Use of "tomarse" in this sentence
Hola a todos,
Can someone help me understand what "tomarse" in this sentence means? This podcast is talking about politics/governmental structures. It is by a Colombian speaker:
"Todas las decisiones son iguales para todo el pais y se toman por el presidente y gobierno principal, no?"
Gracias por la ayuda.

Best Way to Pronounce ר
שלום
So I am just starting out with Modern Hebrew this week (with some background, having learned the basics and the alphabet in Hebrew School 20+ years ago) and I think I have most of the pronunciation down, except for resh (ר).
I know it's not a straight "R" sound that we're used to in English.
I feel like some words I have down, by pronouncing it as an almost non-existent, a very slight "W" sound (like Adam Sandler in "The Zohan"), but also a "CH" sound (כ or ח), but I'm not sure I want to commit to doing that, and if I'm going to break any bad habits it should be now in the beginning of my studies. Also trying to avoid sounding French with it (unless it should?)...
Can anyone here offer a good technique for pronunciation, or reference to a good source?
Thanks in advance. תודה

When does 了 break up a verb?
大家好
In what situations would a "two-word" verb be broken up by 了 when you're indicating past tense?
The examples I've seen that are confusing me are:
收到 (to receive) --> 收到了
忘記 (to forget) --> 忘記了
簽名 (to sign) --> 簽了名
留言 (to leave a message) --> 留了言
謝謝你的幫忙
