How are you practicing grammar?
Hey guys! I've been a professional English and Accent Reduction coach for three years. A lot of my new students come to class and say that they just can't speak with correct grammar. They know the theory, but how can they apply it?
Well if you want to be able to SPEAK grammar spontaneously in correct sentences you need to practice SPEAKING grammar spontaneously in correct sentences. Pretty simple, right?
First you need to know what grammar you're making mistakes with. You can find out by recording yourself speaking about any topic. Also, you can get a teacher to tell you. Finally, you can just look at the list of important grammar topics at the end of this post and see if you're familiar with them. :)
Find a grammar book that you like that's friendly that you like. A lot of people like the Raymond Murphy English Grammar in Use books.
Pick a topic to work on (from your recording/teacher/the list below), and find out 1. When the grammar is used and 2. The "cue words" that always go with that grammar.
Hmmm. What are the "cue words?" These are the words that always/often go with a certain piece of grammar. If you're studying the present simple, the use is for things that are generally true and the cue words are: sometimes, often, always, every day/week/month/year, never. Whenever someone says "I sometimes..." they will use the present simple. Easy, right?
Then look at the example sentences. Make some example sentences of your own spontaneously OUT LOUD. Look up some other examples of the grammar by putting "Present Simple example sentence" into Google or typing in pieces of present simple sentences into YouGlish. Repeat these sentences out loud and make your own. Keep doing this for 15 minutes each day until you feel confident with it. If you have a teacher, they can ask you questions that will cause you to use that particular tense and give you instant feedback. If you say it wrong, you can make a few more sentences with the correction. You can also use your smartphone to record yourself.

How are you practicing at home to improve your speaking skills?
Hey guys! I've been a professional English and Accent Reduction coach for three years. A lot of my new students come to class and say that they can understand and read things well, but that they can't speak. Why is that? Well, if you want to be able to passively understand something, then listening and reading is good. However, if you want to be able to SPEAK that means you have to...SPEAK when you practice at home!
Let me explain. When you listen to your favorite podcast/TV show, you need to not only passively listen, but also write down phrases, parts of sentences, and whole sentences that you want to be able to say in a special notebook. Say these phrase out loud a few times until it's easy and comfortable. Make a bunch of new sentences with that word or phrase OUT LOUD and imagine the situation in which you would use that phrase. Write the phrase in YouGlish or type "example sentences with _____" in Google, and read the same phrase in other sentences out loud if you aren't sure when it's used.

Мысли из сегодня. 16 Октября 2016.
Сегодня прекрасный день в Джорджии. Слава богу это воскресенье. Я работала слишком много и я чувствую жутко устала. Я хотела заниматься йогой сегодня и я просто не могла. Я решила заниматься больше русского, приготовить кофе, и отдыхаться чутьчуть. Отбивает желание у меня иногда когда я думаю о всех что я хочу сказать по русски, когда я знаю что я говорю бред потому что я не знаю как сказать что-нибудь и не могу найти правильные слова в интернете. Но я думаю что сегодня я в плохом настроении потому что мне надо спать и иметь терпение. Может быть терпение мать учения когда ты изучаешь трудный язык. Я хочу одну неделю когда мне ничего не придётся делать! Я бы гуляла по лесу, бы плавала в озере, бы пожарила что-нибудь на гриле, бы ходила на поход каждый день, и бы прочитал много книг. И конечно я бы спала глубокй сон. Но я благодарая за то что сегодня - прекрасный день, что у меня большая мягкая кровать под мной, и что это осень, мое любимое время года.

Also, tell me if "неловкая" is the best way to say "embarrassing" in Russian :)

Anyone interested in recording exchange? English and русский?
So here's the dilemma- I don't have a lot of time so I can't Skype but I want to practice. Would any Russian speakers that have access to a recording device want to record themselves speaking russian and email me their recording and script while I can send them an English recording and script? We could have some days where we trade recordings of English and some days where we email recordings of Russian! It would be kind of like Skyping but Easier for a busy schedule. Anyone interested?
