We've practiced a flipped classroom approach today, when a student works with a text independently and then prepares questions to a teacher. This approach worked pretty well. Lena has read and understood a complicated text with extended vocabulary and advanced syntax and was slightly confused with a couple of idiomatic expressions. Лена, я горжусь вашими успехами!

Lena is a very proactive and independent learner. She always does more than I expected her, and thus makes tremendous progress. She comprehends complicated grammar concepts easily. I feel more like navigating her learning process than teaching her. I enjoy working with her a lot!

Lena is making fantastic progress. She works hard and always beats my expectations. She has advanced in reading, now are are working on listening and speaking.

Lena is making a very rapid progress. She learns very fast and trust her intuition, which is an important part of the learning process. We did a lot today. We are done with conditional sentences (бы) and now started observing verbal aspects. We started reading a short story by Draguskiy. I'm looking forward to our next session.

    I think you might stump the English natives with this one. :D Speaking for myself, I have never even heard of this word. Maybe I'm just a dummy.

    No one ever really uses "I came to know" in every day conversations. I don't remember hearing anyone say that. It's more something you might read in books. It's not necessary to say "I came to know" before "he had already finished it". But you could say, "I found out he had already finished it," or "I saw that he already finished it," but it's really not needed. The meaning is implied. "Before I played video games, I had finished my work," is grammatically correct, but no one would really put it that way. You could simply say, "Before I played video games, I finished my work," or "I finished my work before playing video games." Hope this is helpful. :)

    I would take that to mean she was easily bothered by the fights of her sons. Scrape doesn't necessarily mean physical fight, but it could. Forgive me, I put this answer in the comments by mistake.

    "What do you do" usually means you are asking what someone does for a living. "What are you doing" is asking what someone is doing right at this moment. "What's up" is just a casual greeting, and doesn't always need an answer. Someone would usually say "good evening" when greeting someone, where as you normally say "good night" either before going to sleep or when saying good-bye to someone. I don't think anyone ever says "good night" as a greeting.

    "In that way" or "Thus" Which is more commonly used in Russian: таким образом or поэтому? And is the first "o" really accented in образом? I don't ever trust that Google translate voice.

    My day 3

    Today Sunday is my weekend day.
    I got up at seven o'clock in the morning.
    Then I took a shower, had breakfast and left the house at 10 a.m.
    In the afternoon, I went to my daughter. I played with my grandchildren and
    we went skating. After lunch we read fairy tales.
    In the evening I went back home.
    I cooked supper and watched TV.
    I watched an English film, and played computer games.
    Late in the evening I drank coffee and went to bed at 11 o'clock.

    living alone

    Polish and correct ,please!

    Living alone away from your parents brings you both good and bad points, which depends on your way of thinking.
    The positive outlook is that living alone frees you from the pressure of your parents. You can spend all your free time, especially at night, doing your favorite things. You may stay up late to play and not have to worry about the bad situation in the moring: Your mother cries out to you, ”It's time to get up!” Another good point is you can stand on your own two feet.
    The negative outlook is you have to worry about your own living, housing, food, washing and more. You have to make your living by working.
