Agree and accord What the difference between "agree" and "accord"?

Are phrasal verbs separated items? There's a huge problem in English - phrasal verbs. They aren't connected with root-word by meaning. For instance (for example): to put - to place smth to put in - to insert, that's OK to put out - action with fire (wtf?) to put up - make peace (WTF?) Gees... What a messy bunch of words. Should I learn these combinations of two or more words as individual separated items of language?

What the difference between "beam" and "ray"? These words has been translated to russian with similar meaning.

Evolutionary and revolutionary approaches Today I has heard about two different approaches to provide any changes - evolutionary and revolutionary. Evolutionary approach is slow but more durable. You have to do a lot of small and simple steps to reach desirable result. You build your next achievement on base of your previous achievements. But there is a one lack - you have to consider and previous mistakes too. Revolutionary approach is directly opposite - you have to destroy everything and build the brand new thing. Without past mistakes. But the risk is there you can do a lot brand new mistakes too. Please, correct my rural spelling. Thnx-a-lot!

Two directions translate. Is that good idea for google translate? When I need to write I usually have two opened pages. En->Ru and Ru->En. Because I need both directions for good translation to check a meaning. Same in situations when I use google translate for conversation. I have to translate in En->Ru directions for listening and understanding, and Ru->En direction for speaking. Maybe if google will add reverse direction under main direction (as an option for example) it will be helpful. Are you agree with me?

This is your chance to change everything. Once I read that when you are learning another language you are becoming another person. Literally. Because language is the way we think. It is "modus operandi" of our mind. Different languages have different structures and manner for thought construction. We think using by word and phrazes - units of meaning. And the way we use to reflect events in our mind is our way to percept the enviroment. Therefore, when you re learning and trying to think on another language you are different person. Sounds crazy, eh? But try to supervise yourself when you are thinking on another language. You'll be suprized! Therefore we can choose our characters and convince ourselves that we have desirable abilities in another-language-mode. For example, if you want more stylish - just start to learn Italian or English and pretend youself by hot&sexy or aristocratic&gentry. Or if you want to reach spotless mind, by meditating under Bodhi-tree, just start learn... I don't know what language Buddha was spoken...

Cars - is architectire or modern cities. I had several journeys last years. And I found out that my perception of city or whole country depends on cars in this place. Cars become an element of modern cities. In small cozy european towns you find cute tiny cars. If local peoples don't like show off then most cars are grey or grey metallic. Here, in Russia, we have a lot of big black cars, especially SUV. And this is not because of bad roads. Guess why... :)
