TÜRK ŞİFASI  ZAMANI: Turkic Herbal Tea! BÖĞÜRTLEN

Сегодня у нас отрывок из всем известного романа “Мастер и Маргарита” Михаила Булгакова. Текст о том, что глаза всегда говорят правду.

Как всегда, читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Буду говорить нужные знаки препинания: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-) и восклицательный знак (!)

Пришлите мне сообщение со словами “одиннадцатый диктант готов” и я отправлю вам текст для проверки. Не забывайте ставить лайки и оставлять комментарии, мне будет очень приятно.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Tip 59 - How to learn a language when facing health and mobility issues

In this episode, (B2-C2), we unpack the hidden dangers of perfectionism in language learning. While striving for accuracy can be helpful, an obsession with getting everything "just right" often leads to anxiety, procrastination, and slow progress. I explore how perfectionist habits can hold learners back from real-world communication and offer practical strategies to embrace mistakes, take risks, and grow with confidence. Tune in to learn why letting go of perfection is key to truly mastering a new language!
