⌛ Translation help needed :)

WE are completely off topic here but it is getting interesting. I've read many text about the subject and the thing the struck me the most is how long Magellan lived after his landing in Limasawa. He only live maybe a month or so before he was killed by Lapu Lapu. He landed in Limasawa on March 16, 1521 and was killed on April 23, 1521 or something close to that date, I cannot recall the exact date. Maybe somebody else has a more accurate information.

 

Magellan reached the Marianas, or Ladrone, Islands on March 6, 1521, and ten days later he discovered the Philippines. He landed on the island of Cebu on April 7. There he made an alliance with the ruler of the island and agreed to help him attack the neighboring natives on the island of Mactan. Magellan was killed on April 27, 1521 during the Mactan expedition

 

I was off by four days on the day he was killed, thanks for the info. Great site. Kudos to the Moderators..

I think, it will be very difficult because russians use non-latin alphabet, and structure of Russian language differs a lot from most European and Asian languages. At least, from English, French, Spanish, Thai, Lao, Filippino (Tagalog), Khmer, Malay and Vietnamese

Anyway, if you want, we can try. I am not language teacher, but I can give you a hand with pronunciation and some informal language patterns

p.s. By the way, what is "bisaya"? Is it language spoken on Visayas, aka Cebuano?
