Russian

Binh has intermediate level of Russian. He can speak about lots of things, talk about his life, family, things that he likes. His pronunciation is quite good. I think Binh needs to practise speaking and reading more to achieve higher level of Russian.

    You can say either, but "going well" is grammatically better. However, in the US many people use improper grammar depending on where they are and what type of culture or ethnicity they belong to. In fact, if you use proper grammar with certain natives, they may not understand you. I have this problem with a few co-workers who were born and raised in the USA.

    The first sentence suggest that's what is supposed to happen, but is not 100 percent sure if it will happen. The second is more definite that it will happen.

    Roman, no question is stupid if you are trying to better yourself! I always have a ton of "stupid questions" about Russian. [emoji][emoji]Ok can mean "good" or "well" but usually suggesting to a lesser extent. For example: "I am ok at Russian" means I speak Russian to degree better than bad but not quite good. It can also mean "yes" in certain situations. Usually when responding to a command and being in agreement or submission of it. For example, if I were to ask you, "Follow me, please!", you could say "OK", "sure", or "yes". Ok is one of those trickier words that can mean several different things depending on voice intonation and the context in where it is being used. It's also occasionally a filler word with no real meaning. When I'm am pausing to think of what I'm saying I might go, "Ok...where did I put my shoes?" Other similar filler words are "um", "uh", "alright", and probably others I can't think of now.

    My advantages:

    I know the difference between fanaticism and principles. When I have to serve my principles, I never nourish fanaticism. For example, I never use some pattern only to use my parents. (I'm not sure what you mean)
    I work well with statistics. I can project a future database in order to get flexi-reports.
    I quickly adopt new IT-technology, even though I've never seen it before and it is a new area for me.

    Yes, you can say that. It's like saying "Yes. I understand". "I see" is better substitution for "I understand" or "I understand the situation", than it is for "Ok". To me, it doesn't really fit for "Ok", but maybe it does in a situation I'm not thinking of right now.

    "Say" is not directed to anyone specific unless you add "to". For example, "I say to you" or "I said to you". Tell is directed to someone specific. For example, "I will tell you" or "I told you".

    I use a book called "Genki". If you have an Apple product like ipad or iphone then I would download a game called, "Hirigana Pixel Party". You can learn both Hirigana and Katakana with the game and it's fun.

    Everyone that answered before me is correct. Just be aware that most people use it incorrectly. "He is literally a frog" means that what you are referring to is actually a frog (the animal). However, a lot of people would say the same thing, "He is literally a frog", but mean "He is metaphorically a frog" or "He is as ugly as a frog". So, this word is both slang and proper depending on how you decide to use it.
