Couple more Russian ones:

сию минуту - (siYU meeNUtu) right this minute

сейчас же - (seiCHAS zhe) right now -- zhe is an intensifier of anything

Vocalperk's transliteration is very careful, but you can say CKOPEE like "sko-rey-eh" and be well understood. Especially if you roll the R -- all Russian Rs are rolled. They aren't quite as rattly as Spanish RRs, though; pull back just a bit and you'll sound like a native.

I'm not quite sure if Spanish says ahorita for "quickly" as well as for "at this moment," but I suppose they do.
