Besides learning foreign languages my big hobbies are traveling and meeting people from other cultures. When Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, I evacuated from Ukraine and found refuge in one of the Balkan countries. After a few months, I found myself in a situation where I had to adopt a stray dog who needed a home as much as I did. In the country where I live now, unfortunately, the problem of stray dogs has not been solved, so a few months later I had to adopt another little puppy that would have died if I hadn't. The same situation repeated after another year. So now we have 3 happy dogs in our family. This is not easy and has changed my lifestyle a lot because I can no longer travel wherever I want like I used to. But since my passion for learning foreign languages and cultures remains the same, and since I don’t have the opportunity to communicate live with native speakers as I did before, I'm trying to make up for it on italki.

It was a pleasure :-) Your pronunciation is very good - I don't need to correct very much, or very often! Good work :-)

Another interesting discussion covering a wide range of topics involving some specialist language. It was interesting to be able to discuss matters ranging from the army to family medical history to various medical treatments and procedures over the eras onto historical findings and changes to differences in legal systems! The discussion once again showed your willingness and ability to tackle any topic and desire to expand your vocabulary and use of English in any situation that might arise. I look forward to continuing our discussions and hope the connection is not interrupted. I hope you enjoy the film about some of the history of my city.

    Братья и сестры! Вы что?! Не грузите человека Достоевским и Булгаковым, а тем более Пушкиным! Я лично "Евгения Онегина" так и не смогла прочитать, там очень устаревший язык, плюс наполовину перемешан с французским.  Вы сами-то, английский учить не с Шекспира, наверное, начинали? Давайте что попроще, современное, где много диалогов. Для подростков можно «Завтра была война» Бориса Васильева. Стругацкие -поддерживаю, книги на все времена и понятные широкому кругу читателей. Опять же, язык современный.

     

    Brothers and sisters! Are you serious!? Please don't put such weird ideas (such as Dostoevsky and Bulgakov, and especially Pushkin) into her head! I personally could not read "Eugene Onegin" because of its very outdated language, half mixed with French. You probably did not start learning English with Shakespeare, did you? Let's give her something easier, modern, with a lot of dialogues. For younger people I would reccomend "Tomorrow Was the War" by Boris Vasiliev. I agree about Strugatsky, these are books for all ages and accessible to a wide audience. Again, the language is modern.

    Я хочу навчитися розмовляти українською (мовою).

     

    Дуже рада і підтримую! Може хоч за рахунок вас, канадців, наша мова не зникне з лиця землі, бо тут, під боком у "старшого брата", розмовляти нею вже скоро дорівнюватиме подвигу.

    So, I'm in London! The weather forecast a little cheated yesterday: afternoon when I left from Moscow, there was very warm, even hot, even though the snow has not melted everywhere. Although the forecast was about 16 degrees. On the plane we were told that in London was +18C, but when we arrived (at 15:50), I discovered that in Moscow was much warmer and by the end of the day I have even frozen.

    My first bloopers: on the advice of mondaytuesday I previously mapped out my route from the airport to my hotel. It looked quite easy: 2 trains with one change, then 12 minute-walk, an hour and 5 minutes time alltogether. Spent on it 3, 5 hours!

    However, half an hour took the questioning and examination of my luggage at the airport.

    Couldn't find any information desk or something at the airport, always asked people, that really helped!

    Knowledge of languages and welcoming people really help! It made a very good impression. In some cases there were even the Italians, who explained me the things. :) 

    Example: I had to change trains at the Clapham Junction, but having got off the train was a little bit confused, because did not know on which platform I needed to go. The first people I asked, gave the correct answer. I was so surprised! I got used in Moscow that you usually have to ask at least three different people to find the way.

    My two cents: (мои пять копеек)

     

    Сегодня

    Сегодня я провел(а) прекрасный день на местном катке, катании катаясь с моим старым школьным другом одноклассником. Мы провели прокатались почти 2 часа катания и оба переживали  (здесь непонятно, что имелось в виду, о чем вы переживали??), когда мы сели (непонятно, куда и зачем сели). Затем мы посетили дэ (?) зашли в соседнем ближайший ресторане и наслаждались с удовольствием пообедали вкусной индийской едой. Я с нетерпением жду нашей следующей встречи и надеемся надеюсь, что в следующий раз к нам сможет присоединиться наш третий друг (одноклассник?).

     

    Примечания:

    1. "мой старый школьный друг" тоже можно сказать, но обычно у нас употребляют слово "одноклассник", независимо от того, сколько лет назад Вы закончили школу. 

    2. Второе предложение - непонятен смысл. Если напишете по-английски, можно будет перевести точнее.

    3. Последнее предложение: в целом все нормально, я немного переставила слова, такой порядок выглядит более естественным для русского уха.

     

    Русский язык трудный, но, как говорится, дорогу осилит идущий :)

    Удачи!

    Hello everybody! Thanks a lot for your advises, I've had some problems with this site, so I've got your posts from 13.04 just today. By the way, did anybody have such a problem here?

    I admit that even with all the help, I still feel overwhelmed by London's massive amount of options...

     

    So, I've got two conflicting advices on transport: the first one was from GLYN on buying 

    "a one week oyster card including district 6" and the second one from James on getting "a one day travel card for the Tube every day".

    Now I feel a bit in a fog about what to do, what would be better in my case?

     

    As regards fish, I just want to have fresh grilled fish, no matter what kind it is. What do you mean under "cheap fish", James?

     

    Regarding theaters, Gillian, I would certainly like to visit one of them, but I'm afraid my English is not good enough yet to do it. But I'm going to visit the Shakespeare's Globe for certain.

    And what do you mean under Covent Garden, the whole district or some special part of it?
