Aspects of a language I divide a language to several aspects: - Speaking (grammar rules, style ...) - Pronunciation (consonant and vowel patterns, linking ...) - Writing (grammar rules, style, abilities to write essay, letters, to express your thoughts etc...) - Listening (ability to parse speaking patterns, dialects) - Reading - Passive and active dictionary (the more the better - Idioms and slang - Body language - Cultural characteristics Do you have something to add up? Do not hesitate! Welcome to comments.

Gregory Bateson Gregory Bateson was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist,semiotician and cyberneticist. . I became familiar with his writing by reading the collections of articles 'Steps to an Ecology of Mind' and 'Mind and Nature'. I was impressed with ‘the double-bind theory’, ‘the logical types theory’ and a lot of interesting concepts created by Bateson (psychology is my hobby). It’s just a source of knowledge that opens eyes to the things around you. I cannot explain all the things, because of the concepts are so deep and complicated for this note. I recommend you familiarize yourself with the Gregory Bateson’s writings.

We al makes a mistakes Bathing in information waves of the YouTube I've bumped into a video where some guy was saying about the common Russian mistakes in the English. “That’s interesting”, I thought. He said the common mistakes are: 1) Wrong translation of the Russian word “это” (it/this/that) It - can be used if we can drop the “это” in a Russian sentence. This - the person, thing, or idea that is present or near in place, time, or thought or that has just been mentioned. That - used to indicate which person, thing, fact, or idea is being shown, pointed to, or mentioned; used to refer to a time, action, or event that was just mentioned; used to refer to the one that is farther away or less familiar. 2) Wrong translation of the Russian word “место” (place, room, space, seat, location) Place - a specific area or region of the world : a particular city, country, etc. Room, space - space that is used for something. Seat - something (such as a chair) that you sit on : a place for sitting. Location - a place or position. (The company is moving its factory to a different location.) 3) Wrong semantics of words “fun” and “funny” Fun - someone or something that is amusing or enjoyable. Funny - causing laughter; odd or strange 4) Wrong semantics of words “job” and “work” (работа) Job - the work that a person does regularly in order to earn money; a duty, task, or function that someone or something has. Work - to do something that involves physical or mental effort . 5) Wrong semantics of words “useful” and “healthy” (полезно) Useful - helping to do or achieve something. Healthy - good for your health. 6) Wrong semantics of words “speak” - “talk” - “say” - “tell” (говорить) Speak - to talk to someone. Talk - to have a conversation or discussion with someone Say - to use your voice to express (something) with words. Tell - to give information to (someone) by speaking or writing 7) The articles (as you can see) 8) And so on….. So, don't worry (too much) we all make mistakes.

The English on lines I love the English language. I love how it sounds. It’s a special music for me. And that’s why I’m trying to make myself familiar with the language. I’d like to play my own music, to understand better and… one thing: I do have to do more grammar practice, write stories and so on. But I do not do it (“Whyyy?”) My grammar is just s… a something not good, you know...
