Hannah: Hello Marina. How was your trip to Russia?

Marina: "Niet zo goed!"

Marina: Not so good!

Hannah: "Oh, wat is er gebeurd?"

Hannah: Oh, what happened?

Marina: "Mijn vader weigert om met me mee te gaan naar Canada."

Marina: My father refuses to come to Canada with me.

---

Hannah: "Oh nee. Waarom?"

Hannah: Oh dear. Why?

---

Marina: "Hij zegt dat hij er nog niet klaar voor is. Maar hij kan nauwelijks nog voor zichzelf zorgen."

Marina: He says he isn't ready yet. But he is hardly able to take care of himself.

Hannah: "Hoe oud is hij?"

Hannah: How old is he?

Marina: "86 jaar."

Marina: 86 years.

Hannah: "Kan hij in Rusland niet naar een verpleeginrichting?"

Hannah: Can't he go to a nursing home in Russia?

Marina: "Die zijn er niet in Rusland."

Marina: No such thing in Russia.

Hannah: "Wat ga je nu dan doen?"

Hannah: So what are you going to do now?

Marina: "Misschien moet ik wel terug naar Rusland."

Marina: I might have to go back to Russia.

Hannah: "Dat zal je man niet leuk vinden!"

Hannah: Your husband won't like that!

Marina: "Ik ook niet! Ik woon liever in Canada!"

Marina: Neither do I! I prefer to live in Canada!
