It's been a long long time I've been absent here for such a long time, so my language skills have been harshly reduced. I'll try to catch up, but it seems I have not much time from now on. A lot of things have happened in my life for this half a year. I started working at the "Department of oceanology and hydrometeorology" in the University where I study as an assistant. It's not well-paid job but I learn a lot more and a lot faster there. Now I took a leave of absence, so I found some time to come back here and to write this message. Hope to improve in an instant)) See ya! P.S. Oh! Olympic games are in full play! Good luck, everyone! P.P.S. Oh. It's almost august. Formula1 took a summer break already. Guess I just watch Olympic games or something))

He sure is getting into that. What does "to be getting into" mean? Does it mean that he's an ace, expert in some area, or what?

"Pin move", "pull in and release". I can't get the idea of these karate moves. What are the motions? Could anyone describe me or refer me to a useful source...

You're such a trip! Could anyone explain me?! What does this mean?

Pish and posh! What does that mean and when it should be used? Thanks in advance.* ... should it be ...

...was always my weakest link. Greetings! (hope it doesn't sound weird) I have never been able to describe whatever I'm experiencing at a moment. It's hard to me to find proper words to express my feelings. Maybe the reason is my vocab isn't too rich with adjectives. Here's the painting. If I would try to describe it will be like this: "The thing I like in this painting most is technique it is made with. Detailed lower part contrasts with blurred and fragmented sky. The human walks the road which vanishes beyond the lamppost (the author placed here to block where the road leads in order not to draw attention away from the sky, I assume) is slightly out of picture, surrounded by a faint mist..." As you can see there are not much adjectives (not to mention it has been written in half an hour lol). I'd like to hear other people's descriptions to expand my vocabulary and learn a lot of stuff out of it. Thanks!
