Digital Emotion Dictionary Every 'conversation' on italki tries to overcome the inability of hearing someones voice and expressions - we use emoticons, made up words/expressions and punctuation in new and creative ways. Wwwwwwweeeeeeelllllllllllll!!!!!! Let me introduce you to a web-site that might help clarify things a bit (or confuse if you are on the receiving end! Here is a digital emotion dictionary that provides descriptions for almost any emotional sound combination that you can think of. But better still - all of them have been recorded so you can hear what they would sound like. Confused? You won't be after having a look and listen. Does it make sense? I'll let you be the judge of that. Enjoy! :)) http://ohhhhhhhhh.co.uk/

Fifty Languages ........ I read a story today about a man who speaks 50 languages. Seriously. His name is Andrew Arguelles and he says the secret to his success “predictably, it's down to endless hours of concentration – reading, studying and practicing grammar.” On the one hand I am extremely jealous – who wouldn’t be? But on the other hand I wouldn’t have the need to come here – to italki. Yes, it is a language site but what makes this site isn’t its software – the bits of code that have so disappointed us recently with the badly judged ‘update’. I am really not in the mood to discuss that further. No – I am talking about the soft software – you ……. and I. All of us. We make this site interesting, boring, helpful, haughty, passionate, dispassionate, disgusting, enervating, challenging and rewarding. But today, I have also discovered it can be warmly affectionate as well. It was my birthday yesterday – and at my age this day really becomes a day like any other – but not yesterday – not by a long shot – in fact not like any day I have experienced before in my life. I can imagine some of you in paroxysm of laughter. I can imagine others in stunned silence. What is he talking about? But those of you in the know know. Basically you knocked my socks off when you sent me something so thoughtful, so wonderful, so heart-felt, and yes, so affectionate that it will stay with me for a long time. Well at least for a year until I hope we can do it all over again. So to all of you I would like to say a very big and warm thank you my friends (you know who you are). And to the rest of you – please be sure to send the next friend who has a birthday your warmest wishes – you never know how much it will really mean.

Что это Значит? Что это значит, когда я говорю "настоящий человек". В английском это означает "real", но мне кажется, что это еще не все значения слов? И можно ли использовать это слово в разных контекстах? Спасибо за помощь.

Что Вы Думаете? Обычно я пишу мои русскии записки о сложности языка. я пишу мои английскии записки о сложности жизни. сегодна я думал что мог сочетать эти двау тему так - мой вапрос - скажите, пожалуйста, ------------- вы требователный друг?

проблем? У меня есть проблем что надеюсь вы можете помочь мне. Хотя мне нравится другие попрвки но как я поняю которые самые лучее? Мне кажеться этот будет вопрос для все которого говорят новый язык.

Средневековый Город мне кажется что Русскии Языкь как средневековый город. однажды вы делаете пролом в первым стене вы находите лабиринт крошечных улиц и путев которых кажется идти никуда. но я надеюсь что один день я смогу досеигать на великем целе. или ето правда для все языков? It seems to me that the Russian Language is like a medieval city. Once you make a hole in the first wall you will find a labyrinthe of tiny streets and paths which it seems go nowhere. But I hope that one day I will be able to reach the great centre. Or maybe it is true for all languages?

Do you ever wonder . . . ? Why we find it easier to open our minds and our feels to people whom we have never met, live in different countries and have a completely different cultural background to us yet we cannot say hello to a person walking in our street or sitting next to us on the bus. What do these web-sites do to us?

We call someone a hopeless romantic. But is it really 'hopeless'?

это правда и не правда? м в ломоносов написал что на русском языке можно говорить со всем потому что в русском языке есть "великолепие испанского, живость французского, крепость немецкого, нежность итальянского, богатство и краткость греческого и латинского." если вы говорите на этом web-site скажите пожалуйста!
