Why learing English is difficult for me I think there aren't many differences between Russian and English languages. Russian is learnt by me for over thirty years. I speak, write, think in it every day. I've learnt the grammar through all the school. So the result is I know Russian better than English. But what are about difficulties in your English, you may ask. I've recognized that I doubt / difficult in distinguishing words. Why is that? Because I have different sounds in my language. Those aren't so different but there is not a huge contrast between sounds in English and Russian. And it misleads me. The most important thing, I've noticed, is a frequency of using each of sound. My mind reject to accept that I should use "u" instead "ʊ" and other such things. Because the using frequency of those are low in Russian. We have many combinations of same sounds in Russian but they meet rare in Russian is often in English and vise-versa / upside down. I haven't caught totally yet how the spelling connected /conjugated with the pronunciation. I've just figured out some rules. In Russian you can read by syllables and you may sure that all correct. But we have floating stresses in the words. I really don't know they are floating or stable. All that I know that I feel it and if I meet unknown word I can be sure that I stressed / make the stress in it) it correct. That I like in English grammar is each word type definites its place in the sentence. But it confuses me sometimes because some words can be a verb but other can't. May be my thoughts is not clear on this moment because I am a human and a starter of learning English. But there are some insights that come to me and I hope they will help me improve my English and won't interfere / disturb / break my progress.

My first lovely teacher When I went to the first class I had only one teacher. I've forgotten her name. But she was young and I loved her. I hope that my wife won't read it. She is very jealous. The teacher thaught me and other children all the first class and then she betraited me. She vanished and by rumors I realized that she was pregnant. The second class headed by an old strict woman. She had taught in the age of USSR. In that yaer I was lucky to go to an aboard trip with my mather and her friend. It was the trip to Spain. The mother's firiend spoke English very well and I saw how he spoke with Spanish people. It was very weird because they spoke English very fast like in Spainish and when they had some complications they swithed to Spanish. It was cool there and I didn't swim in the sea. But there was an aquapark where I was spending all the time. When I came back to the school, the teacher was very angry because all pupils had studied but I was taned. She stood me in front of the class and tried to ashamed me.

How my pre-school daughter learns English I have a daughter. She is 6 years old. In my country and my city particulary if you want that your child will go to particular school then your child must go to the preparing class to this school and you must pay for it. Studying at school is free in Russia, but we have additional fees inside the school for the security, gifts for teachers, some general staff as the same notebooks and other things. So my daughter goes to gymnasium school fo ther preparing. Gymnasium school means that several languages are taught there , the programm of many disciplines are deeper than at simple school, English are taught from the begining. She goes to that classes two times in a week. She learns Math, hand writing(Russian), actualy I don't know what is that but I watch homeworks and she draws some signs by a dot trace, and English. English is a bit weird for me because I've knew many new words. They are learnt by Learnig Stars Activity Book and Learning Stars Math Book. Those books are good. But the teacher gives them to learn weird verses that have together "I've got ..." and "I have got a doll". They distinguish "to jump" and "to hop", but as I know "to hop" is not popular word and "to jump" is more common. I try to help to my daughter my own way. We watch Peppa Pig cartoon on English, she's watched many series on Russian. We watch songs for kids on Youtube. I think that she will remeber words and constructions of English by natural way. As I've convinced that translations of many words are not correct and the true meaning is comprehendable through the context only.

She has got a dog OR She has a dog What is the perfect way to write and spell: I have (got) a dolphin. And the same thing with all pronouns. where can I find the rule of the language(English) that prove it?

I've been inspired by the Russian note about the Tinder. Several days ago in the Russian notebooks section had been the note about the Tinder. I told about it my sister. And she told me about her friend that had learnt German in a dating site. Then he had got an circumstance, he had met his internet girlfriend on the vacation where he had been with his wife. But my sister had forgotten which site it was. And I've tried several Android apps. Tinder was in they(between that count). But I've been disapointed. All those apps are searching for a love partner and hasn't got any parameters to find a speaking partner. I'm interested in people from other countries but all that I can find is near me. So the italki is the best site where I can find friends for the practice.

My experience and emotions of learning English I learn English since 11 years. But when I was yung I didn't feel that it necessary for me. First 2 years was very intensive and the most part of that I know now it's from that time. Then I didn't effort, because in new school English was easy for me. In university I had known some new words in psychology and science topics. And that's all that I knew. Often I read computer and programming articles. So my English reading is like a Russian. I proud of it. But I'm a stammerer in speaking. I've started to learn English hard a year and a half ago. I've learnt to listen and undersand speach, known many new words. Now I take classes with a teacher and it helps me a lot. Speaking with a partner maintains actual vocabulary in the memory. But I haven't got enough time to learn faster... And I forgot many words, that I knew before. (I had a rest about half year, so my learning hard is one year.) In my introspection I noticed, that my emotions have influence on my assesement of my achivements. If I'm happy and all good then the learning process seems successeful to me. But if I have got an apathy or I'm sad then it seems that I'm staying at one place and there isn't any progress in my English. I've decided that I'll try to write a note to the notebook every day, at least several times a week, and bother you by my tryings in English. I hope it will help to not forget all English words that I know.

My thoughts about interview Dear reader If you are my employer don't read it, please. Spoilers!!! I have got an interview today. Earlier I had got pre-interview with russian speaker on english. I had pass that and had accepted for next level. It was a technical director, I think. He started to ask me wierd questions for me in the begining. It was questions what functions do I use. Arrr! It is age of IDE systems now. I don't remember whole name of any function in very familar frameworks, because I need to enter a few chars of it and IDE guess it for me. The next question was about reactive programming. Because we had talking about angular before, I thought that question thouches react.js, I not familar with It so I started to stuggle / stummer. As a ressult is my interview fail. But what I think about such theoretical questions. I think it like to ask to describe how you are catching the balance when riding a bicycle. It can be described by a bicycle teacher, but extreme rider can't do such thing. A extreme rider is doing it well and doesn't think about it. I know that it is a pluss to know it, but I think that it isn't so nessesary. What do you think about it? Make a comment, I will be thanked to you.
