Tuesday Blues (In Russian...I think) I am going to practice Russian pronunciation tomorrow and I want to make sure I have the correct wording. Any corrections would be appreciated. Ps. My English is colloquial because I’m writing as I would speak :) (orignial) Work was stressful. I had many things to do and not a lot of time to do them in. I went to the gym in the morning and biked 10 kilometers before heading to work. It’s Tuesday, so my work day started with our weekly status meeting. That meeting only last about an hour but it is followed directly by our daily status meeting. I have an hour to myself to get some work done then I have to go to my daily client update call at 11. By the time I’m done with all my mandatory meetings it’s lunch time and half the day is gone. I spend the rest of the day playing catch up on the work that I should have been doing instead of the morning meetings then finally I go home, pour myself a glass of whiskey, and practice Russian. Работа была напряженной. У меня было много вещей, чтобы сделать и не много времени, чтобы сделать их. Я пошел в спортзал утром и ездили на велосипеде 10 километров, прежде чем отправиться на работу. Это вторник, так что мой рабочий день начался с нашей еженедельной встрече состояния. Эта встреча только продлится около часа, но за ним следуют непосредственно от нашей ежедневной встрече состояния. У меня есть час, чтобы себя, чтобы получить работу, то я должен идти к моей повседневной вызова обновления клиента в 11. К тому времени, я сделал все мои обязательных встреч это время обеда, и половина день прошел. Я трачу остальную часть дня, играя в догонялки на работе, что я должен был делать вместо утренних встреч, наконец, я иду домой, налить себе стакан виски, и практикуют русский язык.

Learning Cantonese. Learning a new language is not easy. I know, I have tried to learn Cantonese on many occasions. The problem that I keep running into is that I cannot differentiate between the six tones. Even when I hear native Chinese people speak at slow speeds, it is still hard to distinguish. I found this site last night when I was browsing the internet and watching IP Man on DVD. I hope this site will be a productive way to learn the language, since I do not have much free time. Additionally, it is going to be hard to write essays when I can't read the Chinese characters. I guess will have to start making voice recordings to go along with the essays.
