The Challenges and Joys of Learning Russian & Ukrainian for Turkic Speakers Learning Russian or Ukrainian as a Turkic speaker can be both exciting and challenging. Challenges: Different Alphabet: Moving from the Latin alphabet to Cyrillic can feel like learning to read all over again. Pronunciation: Sounds like "ы" in Russian or "ґ" in Ukrainian don’t exist in Turkic languages, which can make them tricky at first. Grammar: Cases, verb aspects, and gendered nouns are often new concepts and may seem overwhelming. Joys: Vocabulary Connections: You might be surprised to find Turkic loanwords in Russian and Ukrainian due to centuries of cultural contact. Expressiveness: Both languages are rich in idioms, poetry, and emotional expression, giving you new ways to share your thoughts and feelings. Cultural Discovery: Learning the language opens doors to the traditions, literature, music, and history of Slavic culture. With patience, practice, and a good sense of humor, Turkic speakers can achieve fluency — and enjoy the journey along the way.

Hi I am looking for a Chinese teacher that can help me with advanced level Chinese.

I am always confused about the structure "It is (about/high) time that..." - I've read that it represents the subjunctive mood, and should be followed by the past simple tense. For example "....It is time the United Nations _took_ some measures." I initially wrote "to take" in that part, because I thought it was referring to an action that is about to happen. 🥺🙏🏻

Today, I'll talk about what I like to do in my free time. I often watch movies at home and sometimes I go to the theater. One of my favorite movie is Jurassic Park.🦖My favorite point are powerful story and especially I like the music‼︎ Whenever I listen it I feel excited!!!
