    How to describe correctly the proccess of washing hairs with flour? I was trying to explain for my friend how I wash my hair with flour. And it was a tourture! I don't know how to do this in a right way. I will be happy if someone read it and reformulate it in a correct way=) First I take the flour. Not every type of flour will do - wheaten flour will glue you hairs together, so you need to use rye or linen flour instead. Put some flour into a bowl. Then mix it with water - you need to get a cream-like consistence. Then (it was the most difficult part of my explanation) apply it on your hairs. You need to move fingers from roots of your hair to the end of them. The idea is - every one string of hairs must be "wrapped" or "covered" with creamy flour. Because it soaks all fats from hairs and doesn't dry them - so no damage for your hairs. if someone read it, please write how to describe the whole process in a native way? Thanks)

    What is the difference between sent, smell, odor, flavour? They all mean smel of something, right? I comprehend that each of them has its own nuance. And when i can use one, i can't use another. So when are they used?

    Please, check for mistakes This day was full of events. We went for a walk, and I've met my dance master. She and her niece had an open air class. They had been wanted to give this lesson very long time ago, so finally, they accepted and made it. It was absolutely adorable weather, but because of huge amount of mosquetos, I wasn't enjoyed much. Zumba dances were danced, and a lot of people, crowded around, joined the dances. Then I came back home and mopped the floors. Now I am needed to prepare some medecine for my cat (he isn't ill, but he needs to take this drugs to maintain his health). When I will have done this, I will start to cook. I am going to cook one of the famest russian course - borscht (In fact, it is the Ukrainian dish, but in Russia we would cook it all times)

    Different words meaning - protect/defend/guard What is the difference between protect and defend? Also I am wondering, what is the difference between asses, estimate and evaluate? If I see somebody is going to offend my little sister - somebody is trying to hurt her, or beat, I will protect her, or defend her? If I wrote some text, my teacher will asses it, or estimate, or evaluate? Thank you for explanation in advance

    Is in English any difference between holiday and celebration day? (And please correct my mistakes) In my language we have two different words. One of them means the day off, the day when you don't go for a work. It's national official day, when nobody works. It is not always a celebration day, some of these days are caused by sad events. And the other word means the celebration, some happy event, and it's not always a day, when everybody don't go to work. It can be your birthday, or marriage, or some church event, etc.

    Мой видео текст
    Привет всем. Я хочу сделать видео о себе на русском. Можете ли Вы откорректировать то, что я написал?

    Привет. Меня зовут Скайлер и я из Америки. Я хотел бы рассказать немного о себе.
    Я живу во Флориде, где всегда светит солнце и всегда жарко. Я женат, и у меня есть белая кошка, которая всегда голодная. Я программист.
    Я изучаю русский язык около года. Я учусь самостоятельно, у меня нет учителя.
    Further, I didn't understand what you want to say exactly, but I tried to guess=)
    Многим друзьям я отвечал на вопрос "почему я хочу изучать русский". Там, где я живу, много людей говорят по-испански. Поэтому кажется, что я должен изучать испанский. Но, у меня есть некоторые причины, чтобы изучать русский.

    Во-первых, два года назад, я ездил в Киев в командировку. Я был там две недели. Я не знал язык, поэтому мне было трудно. Я хотел вернуться к своей жене,  но я хотел научиться понимать людей, изъясняющихся на русском.

    Во-вторых, я увлекаюсь историей космонавтики, и я хочу ездить в Россию, чтобы посещать музеи

    В-третьих, мне нравится отличаться, а в США говорить по-русскии - это значит очень сильно отличаться от всех.

    Ну вот и всё. Спасибо большое за просмотр моего видео. Пока-пока!

    Actually, we say Пока-пока to our friends, or if we speak informaly.

    P.s I am a programmer too, we don't say компютерный программист, just программист=)
