IT HAS BEEN SNOWING NEARLY THE WHOLE DAY! Hi everyone! Today I'm going to write a short notebook. It has been snowing! And I'm glad! I was so glad that I'd decided to go for a walk at my lunch time. I'd been walking along one of my favorite place called Kremlin. It's very beautiful and old, and today, with all this snowing, it was even more interesting to me. I wish I had someone with me for a walk, to throw snowballs at each other, to push each other to snow. I like when it's snowing and I don't know why. I just feel like a kid and keep smiling. I know not many people like it, especially here, as my home city's considered rather a warm place. But I do! Despite the fact there will be awful puddles everywhere by tomorrow, people will have injures (and I may be one of these people), buses will be late and so on... It didn't matter at the time it was snowing. What did matter was the long lost feeling of happiness, you know, that feeling that you had when you were a child. P.S. If anyone is interested there is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrakhan_Kremlin

British Accent As I'm learning English and spoken English is one of my main difficulties, I'm trying to watch and to listen to as many videos, podcasts, songs in English as I can. My understanding of spoken English has been improving in time, of course, but... There are so much to learn behind me! For example: I like British English, it's easier for me to understand.... so I thought, before I started watching British series. And oops, it seemed I hadn't been learning English all those years at all! Have you seen the series "Shameless"? When I just began watching it, I could hardly understand a couple of the words Frank was saying! And Mimi! What kind of accent is it? Is it Manchester? The same was with the series "Silla": I had to watch it with subtitles. Nevertheless, I liked both the series! So tell me, do you have the same issues with understanding of spoken English? It'd be very interesting for me to know your opinion on the matter.
