Games

Wow, games were rather interesting and difficult.  In the beginning, I didn't completely get what I have to do. But then I realized what I must to do. It's was difficult, yeap, really difficult.  So it isn't my native language. But it's very useful games. My favourite is the second, where I must correct mistake. I think it's the best way learning language and maybe, in future, I won't do simple mistakes. On the other hand, It'll be difficult for those who has  just started to learn language. What about the first game? It's funny, simple game. It will be interesting for people with beginning level of learning language.
I highly recommend to play in these games,  and so, there are many other games the same style!

Writers' Little Helpers

It's rather useful resource, because you can get how speak true Americans or Englishmen(or women). It's a great chance to learn other languages. So you can find out interesting things (o specific things) about grammar of other languages. Moreover, you can help others, you can check texts of other person, who want to learn your native language!

The crying reporter baked an apple pie in the playground in May for the puppies. He cried because when he was walking with his dog, he saw several puppies. They were very thin. The reporter, his name’s Jimmy, decided that he have to do something pleasing for them. Jimmy decided to bake an apple pie. He came home and had found out that he have only one oven. But this oven  works from solar energy. Jimmy was obliged to go on air. He took his oven and went out. He set it in the playground and began cooking of an apple pie. Then Jimmy fed  homeless puppies.

My questions:

1)Where she worked?( the second place of working)

2)What's difference IQ between the worst and the best students? 

3)What does(or doesn't)  talent?

AZLyrics

This site is resource with a lot of  texts and songs. It's very useful, because you can listen to music and read the text like karaoke. There are a lot of texts and you can find any singers. It will help you to do more interesting your English learning. It's one of the way  study English. Very comfortable interface, easy searching, and chance to download music are doing this resource very helpful.

On the other hand, I think would be more interesting translate those texts into other languages

All songs of each singer divided into groups( it's albums of some singer)

In generally, I like this site, because I can learn English with my favourite  singers.

Memrise, Duolingo and Livemocha!

Today, I wont to tell you about three resources for learning languages. I chose Italian, let's try to check these sites.

 

Duolingo 

 It's very interesting resource with a lot of useful topics. You can create your profile on this site. You can start to learn Italian with the first level. There are examples of pronunciation Italian words and we can do tasks a lot of times and you can better to keep in your mind some words. Tasks are different types. You mast put in some word, to make some sentenсe and any others. So, you can download it in your device. You can choose special course. It may be 10, 20, 30 and more tasks.So, there are many groups of words with different themes. I liked it resource.

memrise

It's free resource. There are many different languages for learning. First of all, I want to say, that in the beginning your learning you can choose some course. It may be Intermediate Italian. Introductory Italian and others.But, you must sign up , if you don't have your account. . Moreover, you can choose your native language. There are paid courses. You can create your course.There are tasks and pronunciation of words. You can follow any people.It's good resource!

livemocha

At the beginning of learning, you must create your account. It's paid resource. But, when you create your account, you will get some coins. Then you can pay for the course that you want to learn. So, you can help people, who would like to learn your native language. As for me, it's Russian.At the beginning of course there is video. Then you can listen pronunciation of the words from the video
 and to do some tasks. You can repeat this lesson many times. 

CONCLUSION:

Each of these sites are very useful and interesting. But, as for me, Livemocha more useful, but it's paid resource. And I liked Duolingo, because  it's free and you can download it in your device. On Livemocha you can help other people to learn your native language. I think Livemocha is the best  way to learn Italian. I would start to learn Italian  with Livemocha!

Hi everybody! Today, I want to try to write a review of the film.

SARINA (2012)

Starring: Ineke van Zweden 

Directors, Producers, Camera & Editors: Tara Fallaux and Stijn Ghijsen

 Music: Ineke van Zweden

Country: Netherlands 

Message:Let's start with the main idea of the film. As for me, the message of the directors is clear. What I saw in this? This film about feelings of the old women,who were dancing the most part of her life (I think so),and she didn't forget and wouldn't like to forget about this art. It's story about creative people. It's not only one woman. Feelings of many people was showed in the woman. She's personification of all creative people. This film tell us about that art don't dead in person. Art is eternal. It's in us, it's not depend on our age, our sex, our nation. It's independence.We can show our feelings threw art, dance,songs.We are carry this throughout our life.I get this film so.

Plot: The plot was, but it wasn't so clear.I think only creative people will get this. The actress was the

protagonist and the person of the second plan. It was extraordinary.

Actors: There is only one actor, to be exact, it's actress. She perfectly show every move, every step, every emotion. She's not a professional actress, but it's not influenced on her play. 

Music: I will not be writing about it a lot. Music was splendid. It wasn't intrusive. Music was beautiful, calm and moving.

Conclusion: I recommend this short film. It will be interesting for creative people an for ordinary people. The film will help to get the kind of these persons. May be it will influence on ordinary people and change their opinion about art.

Hello my good friends! 

Today I'll talk about dictionaries and dictionary resources.

I learn English and French, and I have to use some dictionaries or online translators. To be honest, I prefer to use dictionaries, because online translators are so useless. Starting with some dictionaries that I had use:

1) ABBYY
 
My favourite dictionary, because there are many means for one word and sometimes synonyms   for some words.  There are examples of the use of words in any sentences. I love this dictionary!

2)PROMT (online translator)

If to choose of all online translators I would prefer Promt. I like this online translator  because sometimes I need translation of technical text and other translators don't give me rather right translation. In this situation I need technical dictionaries too.

3)Oxford Dictionaries

There are moments, when translator doesn't give me translation word. And then I appeal to this dictionary. It's definitions  dictionary very good and it's like me.I know many different
dictionaries, for example:

• Dict
• Merriam-Webster (I like this too) 

4) slang

•     urbandictionary

It's online dictionary of slang. I rarely use this dictionary, but there are moment when I need it.

 To be honest, I use  many different dictionaries and online translators, but they are not so cool.

• google
• yandex
• bing
• bab.la 
• idioms 

I rarely use dictionary with transcriptions, because usually, in online dictionaries and online translators, translation of word accompanied by transcription and pronunciation.

I told about my preferences, and my favourite and not so favourite dictionaries. I hope you were interested. Thank you for attention!

 Bye, bye.
