Profile
I am a language teacher from Crimea, Ukraine. I speak (and teach) Ukrainian and Russian (both native languages) as well as English, Spanish, and Bulgarian. I have been teaching languages for almost two decades now, both privately and university classes. What else is there to tell? I have a mixed Ukrainian-Russian-German-Jewish ancestry. I'm gay. I’m into music, movies, arts, and HEAVILY into XC mountainbiking.

    When choosing between ser+participio / estar+participio in the present (!) tense, remember the difference between the two examples: El té está servido - The tea is (already) served. (Action completed. Emphasis on the result) El té es servido – “The tea is (usually) served” or “The tea is being served (at the moment)” (Emphasis on the action in progress)

    Dear Aris. Having different accents is just as normal and OK as having different shoe sizes of food preferences :) Even within a group of native speakers of the same language there are accents and dialects, sometimes so strikingly different it makes you wonder whether those people actually speak the same language ;-)

    Запоминай, а лучше записывай :) few - мало (с исчисляемыми существительными) a few - немного, несколько (с исчисляемыми существительными) little - мало (с НЕисчисляемыми существительными) a little - немного, небольшое количество (с НЕисчисляемыми существительными) much - много (с исчисляемыми существительными) many - много (с НЕисчисляемыми существительными) NB. Исчисляемыми называются существительные, которые поддаются счёту (один день, два дня, полтора дня и т.п.) Если же посчитать нельзя, то существительно НЕисчисляемое (т.е. мы не можем сказать "полтора песка" или "восемь воздухов")

    In modern English, especially spoken English, "sort of" and "kinf of" (often shortened to "sorta" and "kinda") are most often (though not always) used as "pause fillers" whith NO real meaning at all. They're like parasytes that many people just can't help using) Example: "She... kinda... turned around and I... sorta... looked at her". Exception: "sort of" and "kind of" are okay to use when they mean "type of" or "variety of". Example: "So, what's your favorite kind of music?" "This is the least expensive sort of ice-cream" etc.

    Освейский район Витебской области был упразднён в 1959 году. Но находящийся там Освейский природный заповедник, например, официально называется по-английски Osveisky Nature Reserve. От этого и пляшите.

    This quote is from "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Можно интерпретировать эту тонкую, туманную и непонятную фразу как-то так: "Не сиди и мечтай, а иди и делай!"
