![]() It's simple You are sure to know how the word table is pronounced, add [wea], but the sound [a] should be close to Russian [э] Sorry, can't write the transcription. Mind that the first word table is stressed. Кристина, я не знаю, откуда ты, а потому дублирую на русском. Слово table здесь главное, а потому ударное. Слово ware невозможно полностью транслитерировать, те передать русскими буквами, тк звук [w] в русском языке отсутствует. Вытяни губы трубочкой и произнеси русский звук [в]. Потом резко отведи губы в сторону. Следующий дифтонг, те звук, состоящий из двух звуков, можно транслитерировать как [эа] ![]() |

Frankly speaking i have some knowledge, but a think i must concentrate on:
1. Spelling - Please tell me if i made wrong tense construction. 2. New sentences - Like an "Rain cats and dogs". Please use them and translate in (). I think i will have learned new worlds in communication. May by i must strike off some tense at the beginning, like as Perfect progressive? I have problems with choice right tense ![]() |

You are doing great job! As to me, I just speak as I hear basically as I use the same strategy as children. I am not sure if it right or wrong but it is working for me and I am happy. So as I mentioned before, Nataly is your best shot when it comes to rules of language.
As to sentence "Rain cats and dogs", it is saying so if you hear it, it means that it is really raining hard, nothing to do with cats or dogs as you see. ![]() ![]() |

Thanks a lot, dear! ![]() As for teaching our new friend English...... Do you remeber the topic that was developed to help those who are looking forward to improving their English? Sorry, I don't think it's possible to do it on the site as far as teaching any language requires personal interaction. But I'm ready to give some pieces of advice if necessary and recommend books that can be used to improve different skills, not only spelling. You are welcome. ![]() ![]() |

Nataly, thank you for the compliments! Well, if you wish you would have red colored dress then you should go to store and buy one for yourself! How about that?! Everything is in your hands, dear.
![]() As to teaching someone English...I meant actually advises and so on as I personally do not follow any rules and our new friend was asking a specific question. As to me, I just speak and everyone say that my English is great though I know that there is always room for improvement. Practice makes perfect and I can not be agree more. |

The problem is I like the colour but as soon as I buy something red and try to wear it I feel ill at ease ![]() ![]() Your English is really good. It's great! You are sure to be a quick learner. ![]() |

Sorry to hear that!
I have about 5 different things in red and wear them when mood strikes. I read that only daring people can afford to wear red. It is sure true when it comes to me. There are certainly people who assosiate red color only with Christmas. As to me, I recognize other colors than traditional white and black and mix and match here and there. It is amazing how much you can achive just doing that as sometimes what we are loooking for is right in our closet. We just need to use a little creativity and here you go, a new outfit is in your hands! ![]() |

As far as I know psycologists treat colours seriously. They say that human personality can be judged not only by the way we express our emotions but by the colours we prefer to choose while buying clothes. For instance, the brown is associated with depression or low mood, whereas the red testifies to the fact that this very person is self confident or they might have won a victory over somebody or something. The blue means everydayness, the green is comfortable for our eyes as well as our emotions. ![]() ![]() |

The other day I was wearing white and the lady told me that I am very daring lady. I was surprised to hear that but she explained that most ladies are aftraid to wear white and hide behind black.
As to psychologists, I agree and disagree with them as if I choose to wear brown it has nothing to do with my mood, I actually like the color as it goes well with my complexion but have only couple of clothings in brown. I guess the reason is because not everything looks good in brown. I have a dress and pants in brown which I love but I am not sure if I would love sweater in that color equally for example. |

Sure, it depends. I'm mad about the white, but snowy white doesn't suit me, so I choose cream-white or biege. Do you remember lady Monica's phrase (this character was very popular in my country in late sixties - early seventies, if I'm not mistaken? She used to say: " The biege makes me look fatter". ![]() |

Zemo,
Thank you for your kind words. OK, let's start.
The right way to say it would be: Unfortunately, I do not have opportunity to choose the same strategy as you.
You need to say: If you don't mind I will tell you about my job a little. As to me, I work in Production Engineering Department as a coordinator. I like what I do because it is pretty challenging and not boring, meaning I do not have to do the same thing over and over again. I have to analize things and come up with my own decisions and spread it around kind of as all other Departments will need my advice. Of course, I perform my job at 300% if not more but I am being paid only for about 50%. My Boss knows it and he is working to get me what I deserve which is not easy in this economy. We do have a freeze applied to our salaries for a while now but we should consider ourseves lucky to have our jobs as we are very busy as a Company. Here you go about my job a little... |

I am not sure what you mean by saying this but I guess the proper way to say it would be: My employer do not want to make it official. |
