English speaking room

Elita Hi, darling. You see in my city there's a restaurant "Beer House". A very good one, decorated like an old British or maybe Scottish castle. Sorry to say I've never been to any. By the way my husband and I have been customers since it was opened. It's curious that its waiters wear kilts.

SplattieHow are you feeling? Hope you are ready to mix with us? aren't you?

Hi, girls, how are you keeping? Look at this funny fellow. Do you like him?
This is Leprechaun, a handsome Irish gnome singing a greeting song for you. Don't you hear?

so pretty little fellow! helps to cheer up,

Elita Hi, darling He's really great! By the way, I have an idea that seems not bad one. Would you like me to show you and other girls who speak English and are making efforts to improve it to show you some latest audio courses or handbooks and reference books? Do you agree it'll be all right?

Hi, my dear friend. Happy to see you in the ESR again. Your "winter" pictures are mystic devastatingly beautiful. It doesn't look like sunny south east but the last one. What about your tulip? Is it still in blossom? I'm looking forward to seeing it safe and sound.

It' seams to me, a good idea, I desperetly need to improve my english, because I understand everything very well, but my grammar is really bad, it makes me feel very uncomfortable, sometimes.

Splattie
Glad to hear, you are ok! I like your pictures, It does not look like spring at all , but like christmas

Elita,

I'd like to show you some books you can use to improve your grammar, pronunciation and listening skills. Though I'm not sure you can buy all of them in Scotland. At least you'll have some ideas what books can be useful and look for something like these ones. Grammar pronunciation (American but very good. It's Random Publishing House) Spoken English, a new Westminster course, published in Russia .
But the best grammar reference book for Russian speaking learners is Practical English grammar by Kachalova & Izrailevich, but I doubt whether it has been published in any English speaking countries though it's not worse than authentic books. I wish you good luck. There's a great video course "Follow me". I suppose you'll be able to find it. It's made by the European Council.

Thank you, Natalie, I will go to Latvia on holiday next week, will try to find Kachalova& Izralievich, very familia names, I think, we've used this book in school, I'm not shure.....

Splattie

Natalija Hi, darling. Glad to see you in our friendly company. As you see I'm Nataly too and my son is Danis like yours but he's 35 - a big and very nice boy. Your pictures are great! Like Splattie's and other girls'.

thank you girls

Hello everybody!
I would like to join your friendly company.
My English is not very good but I study it.
I am very sorry with my making mistakes but I hope so you can be able to understand me .

Dusya Darling, making mistakes..... Are you sure it matters? By the way your English is good enough to mix with us. You see we are not native speakers either and the ESR is a good chance for us to practice English. Will you tell about you and your family? If you want certainly. In my turn I'm ready to answer you questions if there are some. Welcome Happy to see you here.

Happy to see you here.

Many, many thanks.


OK, what I can tell you about me…
I am also from Russia as many girls on this site. I have lived in Chelyabinsk almost all my life.
I am married and it is easy to guess that my husband is an Australian.
Now I live in Perth, it is a city in Western Australia.
I have son 22 years old. His name is Nikita and he lives in Russia, studies in university on 4th course.
I miss him badly. I will be happy if he makes decision to come to us in future.
I go to study English in a college TAFE, however it is not easy to me.
That’s all for today because I’m going to the bed, so it’s late here

Dusya,

hey girls, how are you?
Murphy's book is really good, i have few of them also, i mean Murphy. I went shopping last week, bought books for studies. will take pictures later and show it to you. i guess, that would be interesting for Nataly

that Spalttie is so late to greet you here!

Nice to meet you, Splattie

It is never late to say - Hello!!!...I think so....just difference in time between our country.
Perth is not small town but it's clean too. Actually Perth is the fifth largest city in Australia. It is located on Indian ocean coast.
It is enough quiet town and people are very friendly.
