I don't see how картофель would be pronounced as kar-tosh-ka

    The Russian word for potato is pronounced  kar-tosh-ka

  Kartoffel is German for potatoe..
  Using Google translate,  the  Russian word is картофель and sounds 
  similar  ...

  Hello,  

  I have some letters that were written by relatives but have not been  able 
  to 
  make sense of them. The problems are multiple. The writer(s) were  fluent 
  in Russian and spoke/wrote German as a second language. For  example, one 
  letter has the word kartofel in it which is the Russian word  for potatoe. 
  Another letter has the name Olga with the Russian lower case  g in it. Most 
  words seem to be spelled phonetically so und become unt, von  becomes fon 
  and 
  anfang becomes anfank. I don't have any German vocabulary  and am 
  struggling 
  to resolve the meaning. I'd appreciate any help.  



  Thanks
