Mein erst Text in Deutsch =) Ich studiere Deutsch heute. Ich studiere Deutsch vorher nicht. Ich spreche Englisch und Russisch. Und Ich denke Deutsch ist schwer sprache. Wie studieren Deutsch? Ich hoffe ich werde fertig.

Is that April? Now it is 13th of April but the weather is like in early December. I live in St.Petersburg in Russia. We are familiar to nasty weather and long winters. But still every spring when everybody are tired of frosts and snow we long to see warming sun.Usually in April it`s rather warm here but not this year unfortunately. I am deeply depressed. If you look at the photo I have attached you will understand why I have such a bad mood. Spring, where are you?

A baby and foreign language I thought that babies under 1 year do not feel the difference between languages. They can`t talk so as I thought they don`t understand what language you speak. And now I suppose that I was mistaken. Yesterday I was talking by phone with my colleague and I spoke English. My baby who is only 5 months old was looking at me with great interest. I has already seen me speaking by phone in Russian. So I am sure he was listening to unfamiliar words and analyzing what was his mother doing.

Эффективно ли обучение через Skype?

Последнее время столько предложений обучения через программу Skype. Но эффективно ли это? Может ли картинка с веб-камеры и звук в наушниках заменить реальное общение между людьми? В процессе обучения очень важен личный контакт. Хотя технологии не стоят на месте, думаю лет через 10-15 никто уже не будет учиться off-line.
