Hi!
🌟Risking being considered as unimaginative and ordinary, I'm nevertheless going to record my next steps in English learning.
1️⃣Great Writing by National Geographic for writing skills (Yes, I can't study without a text book, I need guidance and structure, which it provides).
2️⃣Use of English Vocabulary for First; Idioms in Use; Phrasal verbs in Use. Popular text books, also.
3️⃣Speaking: I joined a speaking club, where non-fictional books are discussed.
4️⃣ Reading: Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. This is a postmodern encyclopedic novel, famous for its length, detail and digressions involving 388 endnotes, some of which themselves have footnotes.
5️⃣I'm looking for a speaking partner(s), just to expand my social network and listen to different accents. So, if you're also in search, feel free to write a comment.
👀I promised myself that after the English exam I'll reward myself with Spanish. However, job perspectives and situation on the labour market in my city imply that it is Chinese that I have to study. Anyway, no matter what I choose, I am going to find a tutor for a new language.
💎It sounds that everything I'm going to do is to study or that I'm super-productive and efficient. Yes, that's me. Nice knowing you. 😎
Great initiative and writing!
Wow! I'm impressed with your plan. And no, it is not unimaginative and ordinary at all, it's great reading that you have such determination and a detailed plan! I like that you reward yourself for learning a language by learning a language hahaha. How comes Chinese would be more advantageous than Spanish in your city?
@CocoPop, @Ouassou, спасибо-спасибо за вашу поддержку и оценку. Вы, как всегда, очень милы)) Отвечу на русском, чтобы и у Вас практика была. Я работаю(-ла) на Фольксвагене, и недавно наш завод продали. Велика вероятность, что мы теперь будем сотрудничать с китайским автопромом.
Спасибо за ответ на русском! "Великá вероятность" новое дла меня! На английском: There's a good chance/Odds are that...
Мне еще нравится немаловероятно (двойное отрицание). Так на русский перевели выражение supposably из сериала Friends : Joey: "Supposably." Supposably! Did they go to the zoo? Supposably.
Я не смотрел ни одного эпизода, терпеть не могу этих людей 😅 особенно глупую блондинку с гитарой, которая про кота пела 😸
😀а я наизусть знаю. это мое детство))
