Hello.

Hello!

I am Russian, 26, and a biologist. I live in Moscow since 2004. And I do not have not foreign overseas friends to speak English with anybody. So, I would like to find a person, someone who is interested in practice his(or her) English with too.

And Also, I will would like trying to write here sometimes about anything something interesting or humourous here. funny (as in blog). Actually Really, I am not very interesting person.

Yesterday was the first workday after the New Year holidays in Russia. I have spent New Year holidays the time as real of a loafer: in. That is to reading Shakespeare and watching old classic French films movies starring with Pierre Richard. [What you wrote means that Pierre Richard was with you watching the movies]

And What is are your favorite ones films?

[Mine are dialog ones from Classic American movies, starring Bette Davis, such as "All About Eve"]

As for Shakespeare, can anybody help me? I have read the Russian translation his of "Richard II" in Russian translation [What you wrote is that Shakespear translated Richard II]. After this I found the text: (http://www.william-shakespeare.info/act1-script-text-richard-ii.htm).  You can find it which can be found in different sites. This The text contains obsolete words, such as "thou".  This was also spoken in the movie (

And this text, as i understood, is in film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A89wTSJ_j8g&feature=player_embedded) .

But what is it Why? Is it in the original language of Shakespeare's language or some modern adaptation with some words from that time? I ask it because, if you find some modern variant of ''Richard II" in from Google, you will see this text these words again. So, can anybody show me genuine original text of "Richard II" in on the Internet. Thanks.

"Thou" etc are archaic English words.  However, if you want to act out his plays, all words must be said exactly as it was written.  Just like a modern day movie when everything is spoken must be verbatim as they appear in the script.  Sure, there are some modern adaptations or interpretations of Shakespeare where modern English and settings are used.  However, they are not very successful.  You can't speak Harlem English in those settings nor can you speak Shakesperean English in Harlem.  It will be out of character and time.

Even these words are used today for various reasons, especially in poetry.  They give credence and tradition to the piece.
