Для начала обсудим тему для разговора. Все сообщения в теме должны быть только на английском языке!!!
Ok! Let's discuss the theme for communication. All messages must be written only in English!!!
hi everybody;)
sorry for some mistakes cause I just study.Correst me please.
Can you help me?My problem is that I understand in English easily,but I can't to talk to somebody.I have no practice.
Maybe if someone wants to talk to in English with me, then he can write to me :). I'm very fun and interesting company. I will be very glad if somebody writes to me :)
i would like to write to you in order to improove my language, but my husband is very-very jelous(( He don't know English at all and would surely think that you're my lover )) Sounds funny, yeah?
hey everybody!
its good for us, when we practise our English in that way.
I hope, that this topic will be develop and our language will be fluent.
hugs
Chrisitina, I would advise you to watch movies with english subtitles and listen songs. I think it is one of the most effective ways to develop your knowledge.))
Vladimir, I am sorry for asking are you connectd somehow to famous reformer of XIX century?
Use english subtitles, it would really help.
Of course, talking to someon is of great help, but only if he has good knowledge.
When I studied in school, our teacher spoke wth us only in english from the very beginning. And it helped a lot. But if you really want to know the language, then try t use all the ways, which can help.))
I'm agree with Manechka. If you really want to learn something well, any way is good. Read, write, talk in English.
Personaly, that's my order of learning English for a day: I begin my day with one film or part of serial in English without subtitles, then I download English subtitles and look into them (read, translate). After that, I watch the same film again and try to understand every word. After some rest, I read one or two hard English text to warm my tongue up. Then I learn one English song by heart, translate it. In evening I talk with somebody in English and try to use new knowledge and write a text about passed day. It's something like diary.
I have already been doing it for a mounth and have exelent results. Tens of new words everyday, some new expressions and the rest knowledge.
Vladimir, that's alright.) But it is always interesting to study your family tree.))
Arthur, do you do it everyday? Do you have time to do something, besides engish? I like it too, but it looks like too much.) No offends, ok?
But all in all it is really good way.
I advise you not to learn songs, but listen to it and only then read couple of times. And then listen again.
Listening will give you skills, so that you will understand quick english speech easily.
People! all that you are doing to improve your English is super! I wish I had such students as you are))) Ooops, sorry I have some like you)))
Wish to study, hard work and patience - these are the main components of an ideal student, no matter what subject he or she studies.
Go on the same way, guys!
Artur, its great work!;)
also, guys, there is one website,which help to practise u language by talking with native speakers
http://www.interpals.net/
and one interesting website
http://englishtips.org/
guys i advise all of ye to watch more films in original...better those shot in England, starring UK actors....like "Snatch", "Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels", "Rock'n'rolla" there you may find typical British working class accent..though many todays Londoners use da same one..
i've spent 2 years living with my uncle in the UK....but i've spent almost 9 years of my life mastering my skills on my own and living in ma home country, Ukraine....yes, i've worked out typical accent, and i can produce either American or British accent...
one more tip: try to locate any guys from Peace Corps. in your city...these guys can be found ( i assume) almost in any town, they can give you a good speaking practice.
cheers! Good luck in all of ye findings and tries
if you have any questions, you're always welcome to ask=)
Dear Ulyana, Peace Corps is an international organization that is directed straightly by The US Department Of State....say, have you seen young guys in your city wearing black classical trousers and white shirts with badges?? there are so many of 'em even in Lugansk...
when i was a student, i used to meet these guys in Kiev...they organized special classes for those who want practice..
THOUGH! Attention! These guys will also tell you much about their faith and bla-bla-bla...Don't listen to Catholicism and other crap they gonna tell ye, just ask if they could help ya out with ur English
Surely, Ulyana, if you're so interested we could have some practice here, but you should keep in mind, that learning a language is like molding a clay plate...if you're persistent, you'll create a good one.
no, i'm just eager to share my knowledge....=) i have many acquaintances from Peace Corps..may be in Russia they aren't so widespread as in other countries including Ukraine.
Anyway, i'm now in Ukraine, having a rest with my family so it means i have a lot of free time...feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Just at the beginning of September, i'm back to Germany where i continue my studies, though i'll be coming back to Ukraine 4 times a year to take up a session for my distance study in one of Kiev universities...
Good evening everyone! I've just joined this group and it's all interested for me. I work as a teacher of English in secondary near Kazan. It's so stuffy at night and nobody sleeps.
Leila, I cant live without :) I read news daily, I speak english with my colleagues from other countries on my work, I like films with original sound )
And I want to see my favorite movie"Step up 3" on English but my English is very very ... bad=(Help me in my English.I want to know English is very good or good))
well, you the best thing is communication in english)))) watching films is great, with dubbed version you can not fully appreciate the best of it)))so, people watch films only in original sound))by the way what are your favourite ones? (my own list of the best films you can find on my page, I appreciate your opinion)))))))))
Thank's for the film list, I've seen nearly 95 % of this, cool movies.
Do you remember pre-final scene, with a nocturn #2 op 9 of Frederic Choppin ? Probably it's the best scene in whole movie.
I like all films made by Balabnov, it's a great man, who understand Russia with her past, present and future, and he successefully show it in his movies
Hello! I join to your discussion. I like films made by Christofer Nolan, especially film "The Prestige", also Tim Burton's films. It is wonderful! ))) What do you think about it?
Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the cinema, but I will buy or download the Inception! This film is the 2nd in top-list 250 on the site kinopoisk.ru !!! Many good responses ! I think it is excellent !!
Andru, I like film "Sleepy Hollow" by Tim Burton very much!!! I have seen this film many times! But "Alice in Wonderland" hasn't made special impression on me(((
Hi everybody!!!I like english fils too, but my english is bad? I'm studing english first year, but I will be a chemist, Earlier in school Studied germany.My advice you are studing english,becouse it is easy and interesting than germany or other Language!!!So sorry if in my text there are mistakes:-)
And what do you think about "The Illusionist"? - I like it ))) This film is very similar to the Prestige, but the last has seemed to me more interesting!
I didn't read the book, but film is nice! ))) So, I agree, usually it is more interesting to read book, because in the book it is written in more detail and colourfully, and of course, here plays own imagination!! ))))
Hi) I want to join the discussion))
My english is rather bad, but i'd like to speak it anyway))
So, we are talking about music now as i see. Well this is my favourite theme. As a melomaniac i should like different kinds of music and i actually do. My favourite groups are Splean, Morcheeba, Jamiroquai, Stereophonics, The James Taylor Quartet, Tosca Tango orchestra and so on. The list can be very long
I hope that i made less than 20 mistakes)))
Hello everybody/I am Ivan Chebotarev i am from Russia/I live in Solnechnjgjrsk of Moscow area//I have been learning English for five years,but i can t to communicate free/ I can make mistakes and that s why help me and say if i made mistakes/ I like sing a song because i am singer/I have been singing for two years/ I to sing is professionally/
На инглише я обьяснить не могу)Там учишь различные диалоги которые показываются в виде слайдов-картинок и идет их озвучка.Еще там много различных функций.И я хотел бы спросить, может кто то занимался по ней и какой результат?
Hello)I want to read something in english too, i have read some books. now i want to read something else magazines or newspapers or some interesting books.Can you advise sth?
I want to read some books from McMillan production too, but this books are expensive to buy..
Who wants to communicate in English, please write me
Hello)My english cries out for a serious improvement in respect of verbal communication. But unluckily i am short of worthy conversationists. I have recently read unadapted english literature and began with Moon and sixpence by S.Maugham. Of course i read this book in russian before.And now find my reading in english notably exiting.)))Intend to make great progress in my english this year/)))
Oh, my reading of English books transforms my brains into pudding. Perhaps I choosed too complicated things to read - Emily Bronte ''Weathering Heights'' & William Golding ''Lord of the Flies".
Could you advise me something more easy to read in English?
Ooh, i liked Weathering Heights)Really,very interesting..
But usually I read short versions of books, coz full versions i too complicated for me.I advise you to read short versions..I think in the biggest bookshop of your city you will find a lot of good literature, as i said there a lot of good books in a short version and a lot depends from the level of your ENg, usually there is written level on the cover of the book...
And one of the bests I liked- "Jane Eyre" bu Sharlotte Bronte;"Sense and sensibility","Pride and predjudice" by Jane Austen.
Извините что не в тему.Кто может расказать где можно применять окончание ing, в каких предложениях,случаях.Я знаю что прибавив инг получаем активное определение (reading-читающий, smoking-курящий)Заранее спасибо!)
Hello Михаил.Да а ещё мы употребляем глаголы с ING окончанием в настоящем продолжённом времени(Present Continiuous), когда говорим о том что происходит на данный момент, например Я сейчас смотрю телевизор - I"m watching television now и т.д.
И в прошедшем продолжённом (PastContiniuous) времени,когда мы говорим о конкретном времени в прошлом, то что происходило в прошлом,но не закончилось допустим. Когда моя мама пришла, я читала книгу. When my mother came,I was reading book.
Но не путай это время с прошедшим простым (Past Simple)В прошедшем простом законченное действие
Я прочитала книгу вчера. I read book yesterday.
надеюсь я понятно всё рассазала?:)
I also liked the Weathering Heights!)
And now I read Jane Eyre, but in Russian.
In general, I love English classics.
Did you watch a film Weathering Heights?)
I watched an old film Weathering Heights, but I want to watch a new film of 2009 year. I really liked the music and the main characters in the old film))
Hi everybody! I'm reading Harry Potter now, in English of course..) Do you use a dictionary? For example, when i see a new word, sometimes i'm too much lazy to look in a dictionary and i try to gess what does this word mean....and you??
Hello)I know English not very well and when I see a new word, I write it in separate notebook and write its value (from the dictionary). Then I repeat the words in this notebook)
As Stasya, for the first time i try to understand any word without dictionary, but sometimes it necessary to look up there because some words so close to words in russian bot not have the same meaning. That's why why i prefer to use the dictionary
Hello everybody! I am a student from a small city near the coast of the Azov sea. It is Berdyansk - maybe some people even had heard about this town, especially biologists and medics - it is the place of Havkin's childhood :)))

Аскар [bariga-bantik] Алимбеков:
Why do you want to learn american dialect? It is wrong. Learn english :)))
Thank u, Kai / and not only for evaluation, but for links also / just have taken a look..:) seems to be a very good feature ! However I use at the moment only LEO - is also very good dictionary.. by the way don´t u know any similar add-ons for IE?
so i fell a sleep at 5 in the morning today and guess when i woke up...at 8!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAhhh my friends dog decided to lick my face because apparently i was licking my lips which lead the dog to believe that i was a awake any way worst morning ever and now im super tired and i wanna sleep but nooooo we have guests coming over so elena has to clean up the whole effing house FML :(

ребята! помогите пожаслуйста. как можнo перевести слова "уже тогда" на английский? то что нельзя сказать already then это точно, нигде не встречала к тому же..
кто-нибудь знает точно?
Не согласна. Even then - даже тогда, а even if - даже если.
Если подставить even if в ваше преложение, лучше же звучит, не находите?)
Even though также употребляется в смысле "даже если".

Olyalyubitelnitsa-Sushi Pokusha
why don't u just say the whole sentence? it would be so much easier to help you! there is not just one way to express your thoughts.
@Манечка
Наверн о правильнее "even if", но красивее "even then".. кстати, напрямую переведенное выражение "даже тогда, когда..." тоже очень часто используется в русском...
It's just interesting - what y'all think about whores and sluts? She's such a dirty problem of our not perfect world or victims of destiny? Who can find the arrangement of this promlem or it's impossible?
I wait for yours thoughts.
Hey folks))I'm glad to see You)) Can anyone suggest some interesting topic to talk about? e.g. smth like " freedom - what does it mean to you?" or smth else....Just to discusse & make our conversation more interesting)))))))))) See You))
oOPs!! I didn't notice your question. Well, I can say that evry problem has it's solution. One can do anything to get well on his own, I just can say, that it depends on a person. If he's a strong, he will survive, if not...you know...
Of coarse I think, that that solution also depends on the Governement, but first of all it depends on you. You have to make your fortune,no one else.
And what about whores...some of them like their "job", it's rather easy to earn money with this kind of job than to be a server or nurse...or ...I just don't know...
It's difficult question, i know. Those hookers which have chosen this... some unusually job, knews, what they gonna do. It's so rough, but do blowjob and jump on someones dick are not harder job, for some women it's pleasing. As soon as they got working in brothels or just on the streets, for many people they lose respect. But not just for me. I've understend, they do it not only for herselves.
Yup, maybe it's strange question, but I really want to know yours opinion. It's general problem, and usually people think about hoes from dark side. So- prostitution - it's bad or good?
HEllo Everybody! I'm from Almaty..I am planning to write IELTS..can you give advice in getting good results from it? My English language is in Intermediate level..can I prepare in 2 months to IELTS? thnks
Hi everybody!!! If I make some mistakes,please correct me..I'm just a beginner,you know..I think it's very interesting to speak an English..and I hope to find interesting and good friends here..and we'll help each other to make our English better!
Stevlana,it's very good that you have such ideas..I have such dream too..and I start to study English 2years ago..but I need in practice..because I can't speak English well,and don't understand it in perfect
USA - it was fist dream. but now - UK - maybe just for beginig.
I'm searching universities with good education in this sphere.
I hope next year I'll be studing there)
Svetlana #307. Good luck with yr studies! yr doing really well!:)
Albina #305 (improved text):
"Svetlana, it's great that you have such ideas..I have such dream too..and I started studying English 2years ago..but I need practice..because I can't speak English very well,and don't understand it perfectly"
P.S. review rules of using the articles (a/an. the, -)
Okey, possible you are right, but this theme is only for English words.
So write your last message in English or I will snitch on you to one of greatest moderators with request to ban you.
that's right.. and this is a good rule / happy parents have happy children:) but.. without being familliar with modern medien and equipment they have no really big chance to be successful..imho
What means success? I think every person have they own understanding of this word. For me it is harmony in every parts of my life. I could not be happy if I have a good gob, but have no friends, or I have a lover, but have no money to live. Sorry, I know what I make a lot of mistakes:-)
#337 Andrey, exactly!!! they were happy without all that technological luxuries we have now. people are getting weaker and easier to manipulate... no more rebels! only politics:((
#339. Nafseta!
Success and happiness do not necessarily go along. and people are never satisfied with what they have. even if you work at wall street and make incredible amount of money, it doesn't mean you are happy, unless your key to be happy is to bury yrself in work. otherwise you cannot be. it's hard to reach a balance.
people who work a lot or study a lot usually do become successful, but they might not have time to treat themselves as human beings or allocate enough time for simple pleasures of life, as love, family and friends.
you just need to choose what is more meaningful for you and what suits you better in this period of your life.
#340 = golden words.. just a little bit pessimistic / I mean the human race is not really that easy to be governed! probably definite part of community, but by far not whole population / It's our good luck that we always have someone, who would doubt und take a deep sight into the problem...long live the lone fighter, cause if there is one, there will be two also.. and so far!
Svetlana,I do agree with you.
Each who works hardly must be honoured,but sometimes our confidenced purposeness tries are shine out in compare with somebody's money or other meanings of own powerfull.
That's why I want to say that the "simple pleasures",about which you've said in message,are prefer than endless career race.
In any case I think so.
I'll want to study abroad and hope I will)
Yesterday I was at moscow at the selection by the famous university( University of the arts london) and I Entered))) I'm so happy)
But now one problem - money. now thinking what to do)
Юлия {ХоМяЧоК} Карпова
If you have enough money to pay your education abroad - no problems)
Look some sites,informations,details.
Choose the country,university,speciality.
and apply)
Svetlana, great attitude! And you are right! Just chose the program and go for it! It's fun to study abroad and it's a very different education system comparing to Russian colleges. I hope you can make it to go to London. Just work as much as you can - it's totally worth it!
Her major isn't the language as I can see? =)) I believe she'll improve the knowledge. Sometimes language is just a means)
I wish you, Svetlana Komissarova, good luck and lots of fun! =)) and professional improvement, of course^^
Hello everyone! I studing english for four years, i`m bad speaking English because i`m teach! Ohh.. i very bad speak English :( But i want to good speak English!
Светлана _Simply_Tired_ Волк: "come on, guys! we have as many posts here as days in a year and we are still greeting each other???"
Are you surprised? I agree with you, this is not normal, this discussion was, probably, created for exchanging thoughts and opinions, not merely greetings. But I am not surprised. First, many people come into this discussion only once, naturally they want to greet everybody. Second, some can only offer their greetings. Maybe they could write more, but something holds them back.
I'd like to seak in English but I have some problems. I haven't any opportunity to communicate in English. That's why it is easy to catch some information, but it's difficult to express my thoughts.
#399 - yeah, u right! they gotta teach that shit at school but they kinda busy talking about all those grammar rules they use in Britain? who needs to speak british English if u can go anywhere and speak american english and the whole world would still be able to get that u saying;)))
#398 Hi, Vitalik:)))
Just for everyone:
sometimes when u getting trouble to understand that someone else was trying to say it's good to use the same methods u would use for speed reading, i.e., just see everything as a whole without getting into details:) much easier to understand:)
Just for everyone namba 2:
let's chat about whatever!!!
for example, we can discuss recent american/british news, or any kind of news concerning english-speaking countries!
