English [Theme]



My personal tragedy, which cannot, which should not be anyone else's concern, is that I had to leave my native language, my native dialect, my rich, infinitely rich and obedient Russian language, for the sake of second-rate English.
Quote Explanation: from an interview with Peter Duvall-Smith, 1962.

I'm now studying in an English school and you did not notice that somehow creepy in such schools announce the opportunity to talk to a foreigner? They usually say - "tomorrow a carrier will come to you." I think: they want to infect us with English, what's going on?

It is strange that in English the word "simple", when talking about a face, is used instead of "ugly." But the main signs of human beauty are just simplicity, symmetry and ingenuity, which are always associated with youth and purity.

I love the English language. In English there are a lot of grammatical forms, with which you can talk about future time. In Russian it translates to stupid. If you take the Russian textbook, there it looks strange. Something like: "By the time Billy has come home, Mary will continue to eat cake five hours." How do you know? In Russian so it is impossible to say. Because we have no future.

- Ahah, that kind of nonsense? Oh, I jokingly said so. It's just a turnover, you have in England such things happen?
- What figures of speech?
Yes.
- We invented them.

Turns out I'm wrong even say "Martini", "Campari" and "tomatos and potatos". My high school English teacher Galina instilled in me a special, Voronezh accent. Of all the English-speaking people the only thing I understood.

I think I'll ever make a tutorial for those who want to learn English for a month. It will be a hard tutorial. You know, like those old Soviet textbooks. Remember those textbooks? No pictures, nor any sort of games, even English words. Just 300 pages of the Russian text in the beginning, "Translate". Not even said which language.
