Do You Speak Russian Well

— Лу, Ты хорошо говоришь по-русски? — Нет, плохо, Иренa. Russian-to-English translation: "Lou, do you speak Russian well?" "No, poorly, Irena." Literally: "Lou, you well speak (in) Russian?" "No, poorly, Irena." *Note: If you ever submit a poem on poetrysoup.com that displays question marks (?????) instead of the text-characters that you had originally entered into your "Poem Submission Form" page input-area, try converting the questionable original text using this "HTML-encode special characters" web page converter to see if it helps: [https://www.charset.org/html-special-characters]. "Copy-and-paste" the converted code from the web page above into your "Edit My Poem" page input-area, replacing the questionable text with the converted code. Once you click the "Update Poem" button on your "Edit My Poem" page, your edited poem should display properly on its designated poetrysoup.com web page. Thank you.
