Does it mean "getting drunk" or "a drunkard" or both? (Or neither?) Is there anything else it can mean?

Thanks!

I heard that a peruvian and an argentinian just got hired in my university, and they are so well paid. They say that they are paid even more than the president's assistant!

Okay, so on Tuesday, we have a French test. I'm in 8th grade, and this is my first year taking French.

I took Spanish from 6th-7th grade. At my new school, we have to take both.

But my teacher is aware that I do not know as much French as my other classmates. So she said she'd give me a slightly different test.

I have to memorize 72 WORDS AND PHRASES by Tuesday. I made flash cards, and I am learning slowly.

French is very similar to Spanish, but French is really sexy.

I also have to know the exact spellings off all the words and phrases.

Any tips on how I can make this easier?

IT sounds like Too shay, but how do you really spell it and what does it mean?

You can hear this in Stardust when Christian defeats his friend (I cant remember his friends name) in the witches house?

I'm not a native speaker of English, so I don't find this "phrase", if you will, make a lot of sense to me. Can you explain?

On a forum, I read this popular phrase "got them hands" (aka got dem handz"). I have no idea what that means...maybe this one is out of context but here's are few more examples

Them flies are huge
Them birds got long feathers
basically, "them (something) is (something)"

What's up with using "them" in the first word of the sentence? Is it just a slangy way to say "those" flies are huge, for example?

Thanks

Nondum lucet, sed Cornelia surgit et per villam ambulat. Adhuc dormiunt pater et mater et Marcus. Etiam Sextus dormit neque Corneliam vexat. Non tamen dormuint servi et ancillae. Omnes iam surgunt et laborare parant quod Cornelium et Aureliam timent. Cornelia ancillam nomine Syram. observat quae villam purgat et alteram nomine Thressam quae cibum conquere parat. Multi servi mox in agros currunt ubi strenue laborant. Aquam e rivo in villam portant. Iam surgunt Cornelius et Aurelia. Cornelius petit davum qui in horto est. Iratus subit est Cornelius et Aurelia. Dabus ubi Cornelium audit, statim surgit et laborare parat. Aurelia Corneliam docet villam curare. Ancilla villam purgant, cibum coquont lanam trahunt. repreendit Aurlia ancillas si ignava sunt. Matrem observat Cornial et omnia quae mater facit facere parat. Matrem adiuvare vult, sed ipsa neque servum neque ancillam reprehendit. Servi et ancillae nunc strenue laborant. Necesse est neque servum neque ancillam reprehendere.

I've been wanting to buy a big Russian dictionary, however I can't decide upon which one to get. I'm thinking about either the Oxford Russian Dictionary, or the Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary. Which one do you recommend? Do you recommend either of them? Have any other suggestions about a different Russian Dictionary I should check out? Thanks!
