A Midnight snack

Today I went to the beach to ate fire chicken with a co-worker.
It's very delicious.

My first session / Моя первая сессия

It was my first experience of this kind in my life. I liked that the teacher was quite accomplished. He answered all the questions I was interested in. He was listening to me very carefully. There was not any interruption. However, (it is the best part!), he managed to understand every problem I have. The teacher not only understood  my mistakes and wrote them down , but he sent me the written report. Now I acctually have the study plan
for the next period.


Это был мой первый в жизни опыт такого рода общение. Мне понравилось, что преподаватель был профессионален. Ответил на все интересующие меня вопросы, внимательно слушал мой разговор. НИ РАЗУ не перебил. Между тем (и это главное!) смог рассмотреть все недочеты. Преподаватель не только отметил,зафиксировал их на бумаге, но и отослал мне письменный отчет. Теперь передо мной, фактически, план действий на ближайшее время)))

How long should I spend on English so that I can watch the American soap opera without subtitles?

I have spent quite a lot of time on studying English. But I barely feel any  improvement in my English language level. For instance, I like watching American soap opera but without subtitles, I hardly understand what the actors say. Although I still can ultimately get the general plot , however,  when I look at  the subtitles at  that moment, I find  the lines very simplistic. Is there any tip to solve this problem? Or I just need to continue studying to improve my English?

Today was a  warm day and we walked with my daughter in the  park for about 2 hours. We found the first spring flowers! And there was a  broken tree, - a beaver cut it down.

I'm leaving for London next week

I apologise but I have a little bit of  time this days particularly for Skype's conversation.
I'm leaving for (or "going to" )London on  the 14th of March with my English teacher and a group of italian students.
I'm coming back home on the 17th of March.
I'm visiting the centre of London and an English school!
When I come back to Italy I will be happy to help you to learn Italian!
May I ask you to wait for my return, please?
Don't forget about me, please!
Thank you for  your attention in advance !

Relationships. Friends forever

Today I've learnt new vocabulary about love and relationships. Here there are some sentences regarding love and affection.

When Robert met Lilly they fell in love instantly. It was definitely love at first sight.
Nicky fell head over heels in love with Mark. I thought it was insane.
Marta only has eyes for Peter and I think he feels the same.
My granny always tells me that my mum was more than infatuated with my dad. Apparently, she was completely besotted with him.
What my sister and that boy had was a platonic relationship.
Peter and Clara hit it off immediately. Everyone could see that! They are definitely soulmates.
From the moment I met my husband I knew he was a man after my own heart.
I am very happy to see that my siblings and my partner get on like a house on fire.
My classmates and I have been bosom pals for years.
My parents and I are inseparable.
There is a close bond between my aunt and my mother.

When Matt was at hospital, he and his roommate became kindred spirits
From the moment I met your friends I could see they are a well-matched couple.
Family ties in Spain are stronger than in other countries.
Have you ever met Sally? I think we have mutual acquaintances.
James held his mum in high regard. It is a pity she died.
I think the children are planning something. They are as thick as thieves.

There are two grocery stores nearby my house  where I usually buy food. One is cheaper and is located closer, the second one is more expensive and a little further than the first one. But I like more the second one although the first one has some advantages. The point is that the second one has more choice of groceries and it  has  higher quality. I buy  bread, groats, macaroni from the first one and  from the second one I buy perishable goods, fruits and meat. I think it's clear why I do this way.

It was in a starbucks...

I went for a coffee and I had a great idea: to change my name to "FEDE". Everything was fine until I had to pay. I noticed I had no cash and obviously I paid with my debit card (ups: my real name was written there). Moral: If you think you are a genius you might look twice inside your wallet.
