Dear Russian language learners!

If you travel to big cities in Russia - Moscow, Saint Petersburg or my native hometown Ekaterinburg (by the way it's absolutely beautiful and clean) you will need to buy a ticket (or a token) to use it. When buying a metro ticket you will absolutely need to use Russian language. 
Piece of advice: check online what type of tickets exist at the moment, plan which one is best for you and go exploring!

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).

Day 29: Weddings

Bueno, inicialmente, grabé con la intención de brindar la oportunidad a mis estudiantes de escuchar algunos de mis pensamientos o reflexiones sobre diversos temas. Ahora decido dar un paseo corto en el que puedo expresar uno de mis pensamientos relacionados con muchas cosas de las cuales puedo hablar. 🌲🐶 Me gustaría enfocarme en el país, ya que muchas personas que aprenden español conmigo desean conocer Latino América. Como una luciérnaga en la noche, es mi deber hablarles un poco. A veces, en una clase de gramática, no se puede hablar mucho, es mejor intentar transmitir señales gramaticales cuando tenemos conversaciones sobre diferentes temas. Muchos estudiantes me hacen preguntas y trato de que el estudiante participe. Creo que se pierde la oportunidad de hablar y comunicarse cuando solo hablo yo. Para eso me buscan. Ahora que estoy aquí afuera, caminando alrededor de un parque, es la oportunidad perfecta para plasmar ciertas opiniones y ver hasta dónde podemos llegar. Al fondo se escuchan perros y jóvenes practicando deportes. Como un pequeño plus, hay perros con sus dueños disfrutando del paseo. 🐶 🐕 🌲🌲
