All my university years I'd been thinking: As soon as I graduate I will finally have time to study my way, without all these lectures and exams. Two years after I graduated and here I am: have taken and successfully passed 4 Cambridge exams, have watched the course on American literature in Yale (available for free on iTunesU), have taken the course on American literature in the same uni I graduated, have improved my French studying with a wonderful teacher by Skype and have learnt many other things. What can I say? I just looove the industry I work in.

    Learn Russian With Russian-Themed Memes
    Memes are all over the Internet, usually joined by a bit of text with a pop culture reference in it. That makes memes in your target language a great (although short) source of insight into the language and culture. This article for Russian learners introduces four popular memes from the Russian web, including two you probably won't find anywhere else...

    "Я не уверен, что означает", лучше сказать "я не совсем понимаю, что это значит"

    Грамматическая разница в том, что "посчастливилось" не используется с существительными. Мне посчастливилось встретить моего любимого режиссёра. Мне повезло встретить моего любимого режиссёра. Мне повезло с друзьями. Нельзя сказать "мне посчастливилось с друзьями".

    Angel, I really enjoyed reading your article. I guess C1 in DALF is similar to C2 in CEFR. I found CPE reading and writing easy only because I have a maser's degree in journalism. I actually don't think it's very fair to those whose life doesn't involve a lot of reading and writing.

    I also want to comment on fluency. I really like Cambridge's definition of fluency - ability to communicate without much hesitation. It doesn't say anything about the quality of communication. I talked to many people who spoke really fluently but I just failed to understand them - wrong grammar, poor vocabulary, lack of cohesion. Because they weren't my students I couldn't correct them or help express their ideas in a clearer way. So it resulted in miscommunication. So when students tell me that their aim is fluency and they envy those who speak english 'fluently' I usually explain that fluency doesn't mean quality and it's better to speak more slowly but in a way that will make people understand you.

    There are a lot of Russian native speakers looking for language partners here. You can pick a topic, for example, 'hobbies' and talk about it in Russian for 30 min and the next 30 min in English.

    I have gone to a store - Я ушёл в магазин (= я в магазине сейчас или направляюсь туда) Некоторая связь очевидно есть, на первых порах объяснения Present Perfect на уровне pre-intermediate она очень даже может помочь, так же как и при первом знакомстве с совершенным/несовершенным видом в прошедшем времени. Но пытаться сделать из этого правило не стоит. Я начинаю объяснять разницу на инфинитивах с конструкцией "мне надо". Для всех студентов разница между "мне надо раньше вставать" и "мне надо встать в шесть утра" очевидна и в дальнейшем очень помогает.

    Привет, Уго!

    1) Мне нравится + Nominative Case = мне нравится русская культура и литература

    2) русский is an adjective = русский язык

    3) по-русски is an adverb = говорить по-русски, писать по-русски

    4) правильный is an adjective = правильный выбор (the right choice)

    5) правильно is an adverb = всё правильно, правильно (correct, right)

    @Maurillo

    Then I think it's italki's problem with how they convert this into points. I don't see how regular can be 4,7. regular should be less than 4.
