Подписал у начальника отпускную. 23 свободных от работы дня.
Друзья порекомендовали, как водится, уйти в запой.
Но... не по-нашему это, не по-английски).
Решил уйти в другом направлении: от русскоязычных друзей подальше, к англоязычным - поближе.
Т.е. к вам, дорогие мои!
Придумал для себя такой вот челлендж.
Весь отпуск без единого русского слова (ну во всяком случае, без острой необходимости буду стараться избегать общения на родном языке).
Меня, к слову, уже давно мучает вопрос возможности некоего подобия трансформации сознания в этом направлении.
Посмотрим, что из этой затеи выйдет)).
А поскольку заявлять можно всё что угодно, то дабы не быть голословным, обязуюсь ежедневно делать небольшой отчёт о моих успехах и разочарованиях и размещать здесь.
Итак, с 28 приступаем к consciousness-transformation или как оно там правильно...
Кто услышит от меня хоть слово по-русски - сразу ставьте в угол!

Ленья, that's a very nice post you wrote. How long have you been learning English? I wish my students wrote as well as you do. Best regards to your tutor, and of course kudos to you for getting better every day!

To tell the truth, I don’t know what to say. I used to study English at school for a long time. Nonetheless, two years and a few months ago I had to begin with “A doctor”, “He is a doctor”, “He is a good doctor”… Therefore, I plump for “I have been learning English for two years & a few months”))

Well...well...well, you never know.)))

Reformatting of my mind is under way. Despite the fact that I have gained many benefits, there has arisen a major drawback. Once you praise one they will be afraid to not meet your further expectations. As a matter of fact, I have got embarrassed to keep writing or rather to make mistakes. It sounds funny, but I feel as though I’m reputed to be literate. I feel like resting on my laurels)). I seem to need a swift kick in the pants to carry on. Otherwise, there is a risk to end up struggling with a real phobia.

I am fighting radically against my phobia.
Welcome to “6 minute Runglish” with Lenja)))

Friends, I need your help! As you may already know, I promised my mates learning English to come up with some useful and fascinating quizzes. I thought I have coped with this task, but… Today I realized that my quizzes have proved to be failed. To tell the truth, I have no idea how to teach someone. The most useful part (from my point of view) they rejected. I offered to catch funny mistakes like “I am a can” and explain to the speaker how they could be understood. Then I was supposed to give a corresponding grammar rule briefly and the correct expression like “I can”. Listening part has proved to be too boring. The last task ‘Guess what the idiom means’ my wife recommended me to refrain from. She considered it pointless. After all, what shall I do? They want to spend their time laughing, but gaining some knowledge. I am willing to share my humble knowledge with my friends, but I don’t know how to entertain people.
