Russian immigrants up the street

[AshenElm]

I was recently trying to walk off an evening of drinking before going to bed. As you might expect, I had my ears open and my head on a swivel.
While walking by a street level window, I heard a woman cough, mumble softly and roll over in bed. I knew the house had a couple of immigrants, who I had guessed were brothers. They had fixed the house up, and always seemed to be actively doing side or running some kind of hustle, but they did not interact with the rest of the neighborhood. I had never seen a woman around, but I knew they had given the house a weird floor plan: kitchen on the second floor, and now it seemed that the first floor had a bedroom with a woman in it.

It was very easy to drop a recorder off, and come back and check it later any time I saw the window open. Unfortunately, a streak of hot weather, followed by a cold early fall meant it wasn't often open. But some good weather and some luck in timing led to this file. I don't have the foggiest clue what they are saying, some if anyone can translate, that would make me happy. They are quite chatty the whole way through the act!

This is probably the clearest recording I have ever been able to gather. Every inhale, word, and smack of lips is perfectly audible. I unfortunately won't have another shot at catching them until spring, but I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for sharing !
Can you tell me what kind of recorder do you use ? (brand, model, etc.)
I'm still looking for a good device.

This was a QZTELECTRONIC Voice Recorder, 16GB Voice Activated Recorder with 284hours Recording Storage. Good recording quality, nice options, WATERPROOF, slim and recorders over 24 hours. (I think 30-35 max?) It's my main workhorse, since it so small and waterproof.

I have another one that is able to record for a week, but it is much bigger. I usually use that one for hiding on window air conditioner units. Here's the link. https://www.amazon.com/Activated-Record ... B0BGXQG1TN

I know Russian but this couple speaks some other language which I don't understand.

Oh? Well that was my best guess. Thanks for the input, hopefully a cunning linguist on the board can give more information.
