Some minds about learning English It seems that my English language practicing very helps me in reading or listening an English speach... I have been learning English more than for 10 years since school. It's quite ashamed for me that finally I don't speak this amazing language very good and freely. Of course, thanks to my interest in musical art, I have a great passion about my knowledge in English, especially last years. There are so much interesting books, films, interviews about music and even complete operas are writen in English. I'm incredible impressed of this treasure! So I started my the most careful learning with practicing of reading and listening. I've read one very useful for my basic job book in English (It's quite big). It was difficult but I attempted to take each opportunity to do this work from the beginning to end and read other English literature. At the same time I started to listening... I've listened a lot of interviews with my favourite musicians and it often was with French, Italian, Russian accent. I've watched some films that I've also watched in Russian, my first language. Gradually I started to understand quite good different types of English (American English is the most convinient for me to be honest). But one (and very big) thing I still can't do is a my own ability to speak English. I think I don't have a big troubles with the pronunciation but I can't construct the sentences fast and freely. It makes absolutelly imposible to talk with somebody. I always forget a lot of English words that I know and recognize easily in speach of other people. Ability to actually (literally!) think in English very freely is one of my main personal dreams... Sorry for the egocentrism. This text is a sort of language practicing at first :)
