I'm looking to develop my Russian language skills from a basic level to a progressively more advanced level. As such, I'm looking to have language exchanges with native Russian speakers where we can both practice speaking the languages (English for you and Russian for me) with one another in a mutually beneficial manner.

    The word "another" is used to refer, specifically, to the addition of one thing or person or place to an already aforementioned one. For example, I can say "can I have another," if I want one more of something, or I can say "they love one another," if I want to convey the idea that the two (or more) people love each other. 

    The word "other" is used to refer to something else, besides what is being spoken about (or who or where). For example, I can ask "so that's Ron, but who is the other person there," or I can say "other than that, there is nothing to add". 

    Ultimately, another is about adding something to something else. Other is about referring to something in regards to something else as a referent point.

    Getting up early in the winter is not an easy thing. 

    My apartment is always very cold in the winter because it doesn't have a heater. 

    Some of the plants in my room are dying because of the low temperature. 

    I planned to go to bed early and wake up early. But the plan never succeeds. I can't get up early! I always want to stay in the warm blanket as long as possible. 

    I am looking forward to Christmas, maybe the cheerful festivities can warm me up.

    Do - To do something, to have done something, to be doing something

    When you are doing something, you are actively engaging with some phenomenon. For example, I can ask "what are you doing?" when wanting to know what the other person is currently occupying themselves with. Another example, I can you "can you do me a favour?" when I am hoping you will complete some task for me. 

    Make - To make something, to have made something, to be making something

    When you are making something, you are building, creating, or generating some thing. For example, when cooking I can ask "what are you making?" or when putting a puzzle together I can ask "what are you making?". Another example, I can also say, "will you make me some food?" when I want you to put together a meal for me. 


    Hope this helps!

    Got An Eggroll For Free

    I often go to a bakery near my place that the shopkeeper knows me. It’s a small bakery that offers not that much things. There was a time, I had eaten out all type of the breads there and had no idea what to buy. Then I advised the shopkeeper to renew the catalog. A week later, he sells eggrolls while doing it (It means the eggroll is just baked), and I got an eggroll for free.

    Correction To Whole: 

    I often go to a bakery near my place where the shopkeeper knows me. It's a small bakery that does not offer many things. There was a time when I had eaten each and every type of bread there with no idea of which to buy. Then I advised the shopkeeper to renew the catalog. A week later, he sells eggrolls and I got one for free.
