I have been studying Lithuanian and German on and off for 10 years. I think what I'm lacking is conversation; availability and necessity to speak the language. Like most Americans, I've also had years and years of Spanish and French, nicely tucked away in my memory but hardly every used! I started Ancient Greek in 2014, and it brings me a lot of joy! With all my languages, writing is my strongest skill, then reading, listening, and finally speaking is unfortunately my weakest skill. Kalbėsime! Lass uns schreiben!

    I don't think there's much difference between the writing in news articles and the spoken language. Great care is given in English to the language style of news so that most people can understand it. There are of course, more in depth, academic, scientific, economic news sources that have a more specialized language.

    As far as turmoil, this is actually a common word! It <em>could</em> be replaced by some of the words you listed, but when I read that sentence, I don't question the word choice, it seems natural. Crisis is perhaps the best substitute. Confusion is more of a personal state. Trouble is perhaps not strong enough, as if turning around and straightening the course is still an option. Commotion is more of a quick burst of activity. Disorder, although a synonym of turmoil, is in my opinion, not a good choice for describing a governmental problem....I don't know if I can explain why, it just <em>feels</em> odd!

    These are just my opinions! Keep reading, and nice post!

    New glasses

    Now I have glasses, but I'm not happy, because it's not my preference [to wear them]. 
    The reason I did it - I need good vision.  Actually, it wasn't my choice. The simple truth: you decide, or it will be decided for you.


    This paragraph is a little odd, almost like poetry.  English is a little wordier than Russian is, in my opinion.  Good job, and keep sharing! 

    Этот абзац немного странный, почти как стихи. Английский, на мой взгляд, немного словнее русского. Хорошая работа, и продолжайте делиться!
