My Spanish experience. The beginning.
The intriguing title, isn't it?
The title, which could be the name of a fantasy novel or a historical memoirs.
The title, which causes the imagination hectically generate images and colors, and even the most humble mind can hardly resist the temptation to imagine the story of the amazing adventures.
Old Gods and prehistoric monsters, Romans and Vandals, Arabians and Reconquista ... everyone imagine differently (some even Imagine Dragons, who cares), but the title doesn't permit to doubt - it has to be a fascinating story, full of twists and turns, loyalty and betrayal, a true love and a desperate frustration, as epic as Game of Thrones.
The story that reinforced by time and followers exactly to the extent, that it has become nothing more than someone's sick fantasy.
Just as Game of Thrones.
So, are you warmed up enough?
Are you ready to finally find out - what is behind this mysterious title?
Ok, ok, sit down, and listen up.
==============
The actual story.
==============
I started to learn Spanish just about 10 days ago. I used some online resources, read some articles and learned some vocabulary.
So, now I'm a completely newbie in Spanish and I can't express myself in the language yet.
That's why I write it in English, folks.
And in fact, that's all, the whole story I wanted to tell:
"My Spanish experience. The beginning."
To be continued ...

Спекулировать на тему / на теме
Всем привет! Помогите разобраться в вопросе.
Рассмотрим фразы:
1. Спекулировать на тему крушения самолета
2. Спекулировать на теме крушения самолета
Оба варианта звучат довольно натурально и широко используются. Более того, например, при переводе одной и той же новости 2 различных онлайн ресурса могут использовать соответственно 1й и 2й варианты.
Означает ли это, что приведенные фразы равнозначны?
С другой стороны, слово "спекуляция" в контексте рассуждений имеет как минимум 2 значения:
1) Умозрительное заключение без опоры на опыт
2) Умышленное использование информации для получения выгоды
Что мы можем делать "на тему" и "на теме"? Например, мы можем рассуждать на ТЕМУ чего-то - это согласуется с 1м значением слова "спекулировать"; или же мы можем использовать некоторую информацию в наших интересах и получать выгоду на этой ТЕМЕ - это согласуется со 2м значением.
Означает ли это, что в соответствии с выбором между "на тему"/"на теме" слово "спекулировать" меняет свое значение?

How to refer to a question in English?
For example, I have a correspondence with my pen friend. And he or she asked some questions, one of which is about my experience in English. If I want to refer to that question in my reply, how should I do that?
I have some options:
As for (your question about) my English ...
With regards to my English ...
Is that correct?
Maybe there is more natural form in English?
Thank you!

Hello, friend!
It was really great to meet you too!
I think that you're doing an amazing job!
I suppose, that the most efficient way to progress in learning English is a live conversation on Skype or some similar resource.
Actually, since me and you are not native English speakers, it won't be extremely efficient for us, but I hope it would be a great experience and a lot of fun anyway.
I added you on Skype, so, when we both will have an opportunity, we should have a live conversation.
I wrote to you on Skype when I will be available for a call.
Best wishes! See you!

Hello, friend!
I study English by myself too - in Russia we study it at school and university.
But until last time, I didn't pay much attention to English and my level was low.
In recent months I have strongly increased my passive vocabulary by reading books and watching EngVid videos.
And now I feel lack in my active language skills - speaking and writing.
And this reason has led me to this site.
What resources do you use to learn English?
Greets!
