Very nice conversation. You have a vast vocabulary and congratulations for the courage to read a book that most Portuguese do not read or understand. You have a good portuguese and I hope we continue our conversation.

    Beach :D!

    I'm so excited! In 2 two weeks, I'm going to visit a beach here in my country (Mexico). It's called Playa del Carmen, and it's a beautiful beach with white sand (well, almost haha) and the color of the sea is turquoise. Yay!


    So, are you in on vacation too? Or is it only in Mexico?

    Greetings.

    Here's a pic from the beach. I like to share things I love from about my country (:

    It took me several years after I had already attained a conversational level of Spanish to be able to develop a relaxed fluency and be able to express myself with the same precision as in English, over the course of which I looked up thousands of words, reading novels and articles at snail-speed. Even after learning so many words, I still needed months of conversation to actually be able to quickly retrieve and appropiately use those words. I think what you're finding out now is what happens to a lot of us language-freaks: through conversation, we consolidate and breathe life into all that stored knowledge that before was just lounging about like a camp of off-duty soldiers.

     

    So for a (comparatively) weird language like Russian, learning to speak well in only three years is quite an achievement! Thanks for your post, it gave me some food for thought.

    italki's "Follow" system is very frustrating

    I would really like to be able to send a message to someone, but all I'm able to do is "Follow". So we're just supposed to "Follow" the people we want to talk to and hope they'll reciprocate? Sometimes the desire to talk to someone on a language-learning website comes about because they send me a funny or interesting message, and I wish that was a possibility on this website.

    I laugh because I don't want to cry

    This is the philosophy of a clown, laugh not to don't cry, because nothing is easy in the life, that's why now I want to laugh and not be sad, life is long and short.
    I prefer to forget all, and forget about you, because I'm sure that without you I will be best, without your voice, without your face near me saying "Hi," life alone will be easier because it always was easier for me.
    Now remember my words when I was in school: I'M A LONE WOLF and I don't need anybody besides myself.
    This is why now is the moment to go ahead and delete all past memories, because I'm sure that we will not talk ever again.

    Adios

    Good question, Susan. It means, "We had changed over time and no longer felt the same affinity for each other."

    More or less, lemon. It means, "What are the good things that have happened because of this scandal?"
