Добро пожаловать!


English Club smile.gif - это:

1. общение на английском языке в реальности;

2. ответы на возникающие вопросы по поводу правильности перевода, произношения, разговора и грамматики;

3. информация об источниках обучения (курсы, реппетиторы, учебники, программы и т.п.) - положительные и отрицательные отзывы;

4. опыт общения с носителями языка...

А также много-много всего, что поможет ВАМ, изучая английский язык, получать удовольствие не только от осознания своих достижений, но и от самого процесса!!! smile.gif

Приглашаются все желающие!

P.s.: особенно будем рады профессионалам и носителям языка smile.gif

Во избежание будущих обвинений в том, что создан только этот клуб, а другим языкам уделено меньшее внимание, поясняю: как только к конкретному языку появится постоянный, активный и профессиональный интерес - будет создана тема smile.gif. Так что все в ваших руках wink.gif

Автор: ObrazЦovbly SameЦ 13.11.2005 - 20:41
Довольно актуальная на сегоднешней день тема. Надеюсь он скоро появится, только вот кого туда модером записать?! Английскую королеву?! Пола Маккартни?! Интересно кто будет всё это разгребать...

Автор: Keriby 13.11.2005 - 20:47
Модер есть! Флуд буду убивать конкретно и беспощадно! mad.gif
Клуб создан smile.gif Мы уже сейчас с в нем. Пока он только вирутальный, но надеюсь...
Читай внимательно, что я написал по поводу Клуба.

Автор: LLL 13.11.2005 - 21:15
Супер, я вот в этом клубе ни слова английского не вижу rofl.gif

Автор: Keriby 13.11.2005 - 21:19

мы бы с удовльствием общались только на английском, но у меня, к сожалению, не тот уровень... это во-первых, а во-вторых, здесь не только само общение на английском языке, а все вопросы связанные с его изучением smile.gif в будущем будем конечно и на английском говорить, хотя этим лучше в реале заниматься wink.gif

Автор: Keriby 13.11.2005 - 21:23
Кстати, что вы думаете о таком способе изучения языка, как чтение книг иностранных авторов в оригинале. Пусть сначала - это будет небольшой рассказик, сказка детсякая простоая, далее что-то более сложное... и т.д.
Я вот если и читаю тексты, то улавливаю общий смысл, соответственно у меня возникает интерес - а что же там конкретно написано smile.gif, беру в руки словарик и перевожу, тем самым я учу слова.

Как вам такой метод?

Автор: LLL 13.11.2005 - 21:24
В таком случае есть смысл вынести его в раздел форума и разделить на сопутствующие вопросы и непосредственное общение.
Про ваш уровень я детально не в курсе, но на начальном этапе от вас не требуется ничего кроме как представить себя на английском и т.п.
берите разговорник словарь и дерзайте.

Автор: LLL 13.11.2005 - 21:27
Нормальный метод, входит в систему обучения языку.
Естественно в начала это то что вы можете понять в общих чертах без обращения к словарю.
слова можно учить сколько угодно, боюсь без их использования вы их быстро забудете, поэтому тут вы фильтруйте. что нужно, а что пока нет.

Автор: Keriby 13.11.2005 - 21:33
Вынести в раздел - это не в моих силах smile.gif
Хотя если честно саму "образование и карьера" я видел именно как чать форума, типа "Женского клуба", "Разное" и т.п.
Возможно в будущем... но сейчас и здесь - это флуд smile.gif
Да и конкретно раздел "English Club" создавать не имеет смысла, так как будут обделены другие языки, не менее интересные и нужны (как минимум Русский язык) и сколько тогда прийдется делать разделов... кучу! Вот если создать раздел "Иностранные языки" - это уже нормально, а там по темам все писать wink.gif

В общем, обсуждение этого вопроса - дело тонкое и здесь ему не место и не время.

А пока, давайте английским заниматься. Хотя я понимаю вас общаться с людми, уровень которых близок к 0, довольно сложно. Но нельзя чтобы лучшее доставалось только избранным.

А у меня так и получается, те слова, которые встречаются наиболее часто я запоминаю, остальные как то сами особо не усваюиваются (т.е. сходу я их не переведу, нужно призадуматься и сделать паузу).

Автор: Alenka 13.11.2005 - 21:40
эх, разговаривать надо, общаться, а то словарный запас будет ,а как его к живому разговру применить никому не понятно. Я вот понимать -понимаю даже у носителей, а сказать не могу...))

если ты используешь презент континиус, то используй правильно: to be+ ing

Автор: REX 07.12.2005 - 01:11
Английский клуб? Это замечательно, Но не кажется вам это какой-то игрой. по серьезному кроме языка, надо знать как пить, как есть. Что носить.,когда в какое время. Я бы рад поиграть вспомнить потраченные 2 года ин.яза,но модельный бизнес пересилил и взял меня в свой оборот. Если у вас будет серьезная программа, было бы интересно. Да времени хватилобы мне на все. столько нерешенного...а время идет. Спасибо.

Друзья, посоветуйте, если кто знает, хороший и эффективный вариант изучения английского языка в Пушкино. Должны ведь быть курсы? Может у кого-то был опыт? Для школьника. Репетиторов не предлагать.

Напоминаю: все вопросы, связанные с изучением английского языка обсуждаются в этой теме.

Hi,people. My english is very bad. But I am would like to speak with you. I am a new user.

Автор: skazo4nik 23.01.2006 - 22:14
Hi there :).
I already thought about a place like this and I will join your club with great pleasure, because I think practise is very important for language learning. I can't say my English is fluent enough, but I'll try to take part in the discussion and I hope it would be useful not only for me, but for other members of the community too.

I will appreciate if you would notice me about all the mistakes I've made.

Best regards,
Dmitry

Greetings, Lady.
This is the only thing you'd like to know about me? :) I'm eighteen years old.
I think it would be improperly for me to ask the same question, so I won't insist.

Сашка ICE
I'm sorry, but I think that this is the way of losers. You know you have a problem, but you didn't make anything to solve it.
Is it right? Of course, it's your decision.
You even didn't try to change the situation.

Nothing personal.

Good evening, LLL.
I'm glad you you're trying to help me, but.. there is no mistake. The word "notice" has a couple of translations. Being more specific:

Автор: LLL 26.01.2006 - 20:48
My dear friend!

I'm sorry but I am not keen on reading web-site dictionaries. And any belinqual dictionaries (English - Russian) as well. Sometimes I consult dictionaries English-German (as an example). And I am really keen on reading semilinqual dictionaries. So, the link you've kindly recommended, was unfortunatly unusefull for me.

I do agree with you, that words have lots of meanings but to speak a foreign language is not just combaing words in a certain order. And you will learn a lot of interesting about words and their meanings, those, in its turn, depend on a context, if you read any book about the theory of translation.

Still it would be more correct to use the above mentioned words, but it is up to your choise wheather to be correct from the point of view of language or from the point of view of Lingvo.yandex.ru

Good luck

The only thing I kept in mind posting this link, was not to give you an additional tool for learning language, but to show the reason of using this word. Certainly, for me as Russian it is hard to choose the correct form, especially without big spoken practice.
For now, after reading some articles and terrorizing Google, I know that it would be better to use the "notify" verb.

Thanks for your reply :).

Speaking a foreign language is SPEAKING a foreign language(sorry:) ) It consits of : pronauncation,comBINing the words in a certain order(but I must say,that there's such a tendency in modern English - comBINing the words in chaotic order.Almost chaotic,of course.) . I think,that the purpose of translation is to keep the meaning of the text close to the basic.So,some words can be translated in a different way or replaced by the other similar words.

Автор: LLL 27.01.2006 - 21:31
The meaning of translation is to present the text from the point of view of a native speaker.
In technical translation also from the point of view of a professional.

It consits of : pronauncation


Unfortunatly, there is no possibility to check the pronauncation within this club blush.gif

skazo4nik
Then you read the artical in a dictionary you should pay attention to the order of meanings for the specified word, it shows you the how often the word is used in that meaning, especially for the words with long list of meanings.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
This is very nice and helpful topic. But we have to chat here in English, otherwise how we can develop our language skills? Are you hesitating? Don't worry, your English is enough! Just don't be shy!
So what we are talking about? What is the theme? If there is no theme yet, let me propose - let's talk about the places in a world where we have been and where we couldn't avoid using English. Could it be good for an opening?
Just a couple of word about speaking English. I guess, we could try to organize Skype talking, that usually works perfectly even if there are thouthands of kilometers between the people.

I have been living in Pushkino about a year . Tell me what sightseeings of this sity (or village tongue.gif ) do you know.

Автор: SoccerStudio 01.12.2006 - 00:46
Well, Pushkino is neither "sity" nor village, this is just small city, means practically - town. I guess, I know most of known landmarks here, but I really cannot imagine, which of those landmarks could be interesting for you. Eight years ago here was a real sightseeing - the Summer Theater, but this wooden building was completely destroyed by fire. So, the new age gives us a new landmarks - new memorial or new Pushkin-Krylov monument.

Автор: Ира 02.12.2006 - 15:38
I wish I could see the Summer Theater in Pushkino. It`s unbelievable anyone hadn`t deсided to rebuilt it. Ore such a person does exist?
(I am sorry for possible grammer mistakes, but I had lost all the dictionaries,while we`d been mooving for Pushkino).

Автор: SoccerStudio 02.12.2006 - 18:14
Well, the situation with such cultural objects is rather sad. Here you can see the photo of Summer Theater and get some info about other landmarks of Pushkino, most of them don't exist any more.

What I can say about... I am not a guru. Even when I speak or write in Russian, I don't remember any rules, even if I don't make mistakes. This is just a language feeling or intuition. The situation with English is the same. I speak English based on my internaional experiences (four years outside Russia). Sometimes I can make a mistake, sometimes I can catch mistakes of others people... But I don't consider myself as a person who has any rights to teach.

Sorry for interrupting your discussion, but this story is too good to be hidden from you. I hope it'll make you smile.

BOY ASKS:
"Daddy, how was I born?"
DAD SAYS:
"Ah, my son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Well,you see your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on MSN. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Popup appeared and said: You"ve Got Male!"

By the way there is real English Club in Moscow - MECC (Moscow English Conversation Club). This Club is set up specially to practise speaking english.
Anybody can visit this place, there are a lot of native speakers there, people from the USA, England, Australia and so on. So you have chance to conversate with them without problem about any topic. It`s quite interesting some times.
English of russian visitors is from beginners to advanced. I have been visiting this club for about two years so recommend you.
It`s located in " Чеховский культурный центр", near metro station "Чеховская".

This is for those who like puzzles that require lateral thinking and a high level of intelligence...

Scenario:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.

In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level.

Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same speed as you.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Могу сказать по-собственному опыту. Первый раз за серьезное изучение английского взялся в 98, когда была возможность поехать в командировку. Ходил на курсы LL, не знаю, остались такие еще или нет. Сам я к языкам абсолютно не способен. Но там научился.
К 2002 забыл нафиг. Как раз решил увольняться и устраиваться в буржуйскую компанию. Требования были: уметь говорить на технические темы, в том числе по телефону, поддерживать переписку и писать доки. На курсы я не пошел, купил Игнатову "Английский для какого-то там общения", достал Мерфи и начал делать упражнения, начал читать художественную литературу и смотреть фильмы в оригинале. Все заняло около двух месяцев.
Собеседование прошел. Сейчас, спустя пять лет, на слух английскую речь, особенно в исполнении китайцев воспринимаю с большим трудом, стараюсь отмазываться от всяких переговоров. Со всем остальным проблем нет. Правда на работе у нас бесплатные курсы английского, но я на них не хожу - лучше домой пораньше приеду :-)

P.S.
А вот, супружница, не смотря на длительное отсутствие практики английский знает лучше меня. Так что все индивидуально :-)

P.P.S.
А вот еще, одно время продавался в киосках журнал с кассетой Speak English. Кстати, весьма полезный, особенно при общении с "носителями", уж чего они там носят я не знаю, но говорят так, как будто полный рот г..на набрали :-)

Автор: Roy 30.10.2007 - 19:46
Кстати, совет в догонку. Если вам придется общаться с кустомерами из числа китайцев, забудьте про should, если рука поднимается написать "you should" пишите "you must", иначе эти "неполиткорректное выражение" будут следовать своей китайской фантазии а не мануалу.

P.S.
С индусами сложнее. Только если с применением русского мата.

Are You A Real Man?

Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth, and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire Earth.

You decide to:
- Present it to the President of the United States.
- Present it to the Secretary General of the United Nations.
- Take it apart.



As you grow older, what lost quality of your youthful life do you miss the most?
- Innocence
- Idealism
- Cherry bombs



When is it okay to kiss another male?
- When you wish to display simple and pure affection without regard for narrow-minded social conventions.
- When he is the Pope. (Not on the lips.)
- When he is your brother and you are Al Pacino and this is the only really sportsman-like way to let him know that, for business reasons, you have to have him killed.



In your opinion, the ideal pet is:
- A cat.
- A dog.
- A dog that eats cats.



You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy. You're watching a football game; she's reading the papers when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but, she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she's not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say?
- That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you don't want to rush it.
- That although you also have strong feelings for her, you can not honestly say that you'll be ready anytime soon to make a lasting commitment, and you don't want to hurt her by holding out false hope.
- That you cannot believe the Broncos called a drawplay on third and seventeen.



Okay, so you have decided that you truly love a woman and you want to spend the rest of your life with her, sharing the joys and the sorrows the world has to offer, come what may. How do you tell her?
- You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner.
- You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her name, and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing through her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her.
- Tell her what?



One weekday morning your wife wakes up feeling ill and asks you to get your three children ready for school. Your first question to her is:
- "Do they need to eat or anything?"
- "They're in school already?"
- "There are three of them?"



When is it okay to throw away a set of veteran underwear?
- When it has turned the color of a dead whale and developed new holes so large that you're not sure which ones were originally intended for your legs.
- When it is down to eight loosely connected underwear molecules and has to be handled with tweezers.
- It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody and we are not naming names, but this would be his wife is quietly trying to discard his underwear (which she is frankly jealous of because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her).



What, in your opinion, is the most reasonable explanation for the fact that Moses led the Israelites all over the place for forty years before they finally got to the Promised Land?
- He was being tested.
- He wanted them to really appreciate the Promised Land when they finally got there.
- He refused to ask for directions.



What is the human race's single greatest achievement?
- Democracy.
- Religion.
- Remote control.

If you want to improve your writing and grammar skills there is only one way - you have to write as much as possible in english. At the same time it`s quite boring to do only lessons from textbooks so I would like to advice you to start correspondence with english speaking penpals. There are a lot of special english sites in internet. The main point you must correct your grammar mistakes and try not to do them again. I am sure in 3-4 months everything will be allright. Good luck!

Yes, there are a lot of useful and interesting web-sites for learning english. I`d like to recommend:
www.real-language.ru
www.englishtips.org
www.englishclass.ru
www.wsu.edu
At the same time it depends on what kind of skill you are going to improve: speaking, listening, grammar and so on. So you should choose web-site more acceptable for you and to drill this skill as much as possible, preferably 4-8 hours every day. Only in this case you`ll get good effect.
And one more point - language barrier. It`s impossible to overcome it without language practical training. It`s better to speak and make a mistake than keep silence! Good luck!

Like eagle near Serebryanka,
What can I find in this blue sky?

Adventures, well, I have enough
On earth right here, every evening
And as for love, don`t make me laugh!

Little tricks for learning English:
Well sure learning foreign languages is quite hard work but you can help yourself by some language tricks.
Try to write in english everywhere wehere it`s possible, in your notebook, in your computer, in your personal organizer etc. It`s quite useful for writing english. When you are out try to translate into english all signs, billboards, ads in metro, on the streets and so on. Find englishspeaking penpals in Internet, your interesting correspondence and exchange of letters will be very useful for your english skills. Do you go to Moscow to work by local train? Great. You can read english books there during an hour every morning and evening. And read, read and read english books in original as much as possible. You`ll get vocabulary in english. It`s hard to read in english only the first 20-30 books, later you will read them with joy.

So you did not got my idea. As a translator I can assure you it is really of a great importance not only to translate words, but to translate them correctly.
If you refer to the books in the theory of translation you will find out that word for word translation is not a best way to transfer the information from one language to another. For instance: Naked conductor runs under the carriage - "вдоль вагона бежал голый проводник" ( correct is : вдоль вагона проходил оголенный провод). So there is a big difference between the correct translation and word for word translation.
But still the main point was not to offend you, but to give you an opportunity to improve the text once rewritten.

In my opinion, if a group lesson is abot 300 RUR, a private one will cost you more.

You are right, I know a private lesson will cost 1500 - 2000 RUR in Moscow but for Pushkino it`s unreal tip.
And I didn`t translate anything here. I just put up some information that was understood quite correct by users.

by Alan Ginsburg

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I like this song "Don`t dream it`s over" by the band "Crowded house". These are video and text of the song. You can use them for your English and enjoy at the same time.

"Don`t dream it`s over"


There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a papercup
There's a battle ahead,
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
while you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possesions are causing me
suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps
to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling
of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
We know they won't win
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now

Hello everybody, I would like to participate in this topic. Somehow, must say to my surprise, never saw it before although i am participating in this forum for quite some time. What are we discussing??? (sorry for stupid question, just don't want to go through previous 3 pages or so to find out)

Автор: victorian 22.04.2009 - 07:51
Well currently we discuss the preferable ways of learning english and it would be interesting to know your opinion about this subject. And how do you keep your English all right constantly. Do you read ant english/american books in origin, communicate with native speakers here and etc ?

Автор: Вал 23.04.2009 - 00:05
The only way of learning foreign language is through a constant exposure to it. My job requires me to communicate, both verbally and in writing, with people whose second language is english for past 14 years. Thus I acquired some little english. If i don't practice for more than a month, which usually happens during my annual vacations, i am little bit tensed whenever i speak or write. But this usually goes away after some minutes, quite literally.

Sorry, fellows, i am unable to give any you new advise here, if you want to learn, you must speak, read and write. By the way, i find english to be easier than russian. English, in my humble opinion, is more general language than russian. Our russian vocabuliry is much richer, in english to express yourself you basically need to think logically and use common words (like "to get") in relation to a particular situation.

Another encouraging thing is that most of the english speakers, due to english being probably the most common language in the world, are actually speaking "globalish". Of course, native british being an exception. Couple of weeks ago, i heard on BBC interesting story about globalish. In short, four guys - a portugese, korean, japanese and british, during business meeting are having diffuculties of understanding one another. But the former (portugese, korean and japanese) can understand each other much better, than any of them can understand british fellow.

Thank you for your corrections, appreciate it. Fully agree with your points one, two and three. However, points 4 and 5 are questionable. Don't you think?

When I write in a hurry, and it is always the case for some reasons, I always tend to forget "a"s and "an"s!!!

Автор: victorian 23.04.2009 - 09:32
You are absolutely right about English. It`s more laconic language than russian one. But at the same time it has nice unique sounding. And one more interesting thing - slang. Once my son being the fan of american hip-hop singer Eminem asked me to translate one of his song. I got the text of it but it was impossible to translate even with the special dictionary. Well I decided to consult with one american guy here in Moscow. I said, help me, I can`t understand this text and american answered - sorry I can`t understand it too... biggrin.gif I was shoked.
And do you have any problem with slang? How often do you use it?

Автор: LLL 23.04.2009 - 13:01
Цитата
points 4 and 5 are questionable. Don't you think?


From my point of view you were retelling a story that took place in the past. So I would advice to use perfect continuous in spite of present continuous that expresses a currently happening action. Further due to coordination of tenses you will be forced to use past forms.

Автор: Вал 23.04.2009 - 18:00
I actually never use the slang for one reason - I do not understand it. I interact with a lot of americans in course of my job, and I must say that most of the people i know do not identify themselves with the slang sub-culture. It appears to be the language of the poor or disadvantaged, an output product of great "melting pot" - mixture of all cultures compactly housed within poor suburbs in america.

-Tim please.
Tim proudly said -"She`s a doctor"
-That`s wonderful How about you Amie?
Amie shyly stood up and said - My father is mailman.
-And what about your father, Billy?
Billy proudly announced - My daddy plays piano in a whorehause.
The teacher promtly changed the subject. Later she went to Billy`s house and demanded explanation. Billy`s father said - I`m actually an attorney. How can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?

Excursion in Pushkino

I live in Pushkino and know,
This town`s beautiful and nice,
Don`t you believe me? Well, let`s go!
I`ll show places, girls and guys.


First railway station, every morning
We go there, if you ain`t VIP,
We get on train, look at the window,
Yawn 2-3 times and fall asleep.


Next`s our Broadway, way through town,
I like this street, (and my respect),
The nicest girls and nicest buildings
You!ll see on Moscow prospect.


If you are bored, it`s not problem,
There is park, please sit on benches,
I garantee, in 1-2 hours
You`ll catch a lot of new adventures!


I like this town, central market,
Old dranken man, who sings so sad,
This is my place, it`s our Russia,
Can you choose better? No…нет.

Well, and what about your hobby?
Have you been in Italy? By the way there is something common between Italians and Pushkino inhabitants. wink.gif

Автор: Dinka 17.11.2009 - 14:28
Dear Victorian, I think you have a poetic talent! I like your poem and it made me smile, especially phrase about benches and adventures. biggrin.gif
I remember you also wrote one about river Serebryanka. It was also very nice.

I often read this link when I see new messages, but never write. I don't even know what to write because there is no fixed topic except our love to English language.
Victorian, is it possible to make additional forum in this link like girls made in handiwork? There we can discuss our favourite poems, movies, songs in English, exchange useful links and so on.

Dear Victorian, well,let's start with music:)

As for me I can't say that I have one favourite song or music style. Our life is so dynamic and time goes so fast that I prefer melodies that help me to rest and relax.

Sometimes I come across such records that I'd like to listen again and again. The last one I liked was «What a wonderful world» peformed by Stacey Kent. If it's interesting to you I can write the words of that song here. The words are rather simple but melody and manner of singing impressed me a lot.

And what's about you? What type of music do you prefer?

Hedgehog, my son is too young to say me his opinion about my voice and singing.smile.gif For me mummy's voice and her singing is the best thing in the world. I mostly sing him lullabies now.

Victorian, I have some songs in English in my repertory smile.gif. These are almost all camp songs which I learned in the USA while working there.

Dear friends, mucis is closely connected with poems.
One of my favourite is "If" by RUDYARD KIPLING http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipl...ipling_ind.html

This trip was a good experience and practice of English (I had nobody to speak Russian to, only English smile.gif ). If you want to know more don't hesitate to ask.

Is the rehearsal soon? I need to buy felt boots asap.smile.gif)
Hedgehog, I think a caughing and sneezing singer is not a best singer that's why establish your health, we need a healthy frontsinger smile.gif.

Dear victorian, we can start with the song you suggested, but it's not only in English:), can hear Russian words. What is about to continue our concert with this one - Tears in heaven - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g2IlaDLVLo&feature=related smile.gif

It is going to be the first meeting this new year and I hope it will lead to further great swapping events.

We are meeting at Starbucks Coffee (Tulskaya metro station) at 3:00 pm.

Dear Victorian, are you a member of that Book Swap Club? Do you often visit such meetings? I am sure it's a good idea to meet native speakers.
I have seen this message only today.

My husband gave me an electronic book as a present for NY eve. So now I can probably reed any book I find in the Internet. It was my dream for more than half a year:)

Dear friends, how did you spend you NY vacations?
I also suggest to discuss websites which help us to improve our English. As for me one of my favourite electronic dictionaries is Multitran http://multitran.ru

A great gift! appl.gif I use my PDA for reading books, it's very convinient to take it to public transport.

I was at the Red sea during my NY vacation. It was really strange feeling when I was diving in water on 1st of January biggrin.gif Also I posted some photos here about my walking in the Aravah desert.

My favourite website about foreign languages is WordReference.
