English Club

[Dinka 75]

Dear friends, first, answering your questions.

 

Hedgehog, my son is too young to say me his opinion about my voice and singing. For me mummy's voice and her singing is the best thing in the world. I mostly sing him lullabies now.

 

Victorian, I have some songs in English in my repertory . These are almost all camp songs which I learned in the USA while working there.

 

Dear friends, mucis is closely connected with poems.

One of my favourite is "If" by RUDYARD KIPLING http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipl...ipling_ind.html

 

What is about yours?

Well lovely song and poem! As a matter of fact it seems to me each song and poem connects us with the certian moment of our life and can return us to that happy or sad points. And it`s great.

 

I suppose Hedgehog will be frontsinger in our music band and we will be backvocals. OK?

 

And one more suprise - Dinka lived in the US! Could you tell us about it please. It`s very interesting.

Dear Hedgehog, I wish you to be healthy as soon as possible cos we have to rehearse quite soon I recommend you hot tea with good cognac

Dear friends, I was in the States only once and worked as a camp counselor near LA, CA. As plus of working in that city I had a chance to visit Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disnayland and other interesting places. This trip was a good experience and practice of English (I had nobody to speak Russian to, only English ). If you want to know more don't hesitate to ask.

 

Is the rehearsal soon? I need to buy felt boots asap.)

Hedgehog, I think a caughing and sneezing singer is not a best singer that's why establish your health, we need a healthy frontsinger .

We, backvocals, will help you as we can. Yes, Victorian?

Hedgehog, drink with cranberries or honey always helps me to recover. Try, maybe it will help you too.

Thanks, my dear friends! You are so kind!!!

[Dinka 75]

Dear Hedgehog, how are you? Much better I hope:)

By the way, I couldn't find the song CATS IN THE CRADLE by the link you had given, found it in the search. Is it the one by Harry Chapin? So familiar song and, you are right, rather old. When was it sung for the first time?

 

Dear victorian, we can start with the song you suggested, but it's not only in English:), can hear Russian words. What is about to continue our concert with this one - Tears in heaven -

Dear friends!

Happy New Year!!! :D

Dear friends,

 

If you like to read in English, you have chance to get new interesting book in Book Swap Club and communicate with native speakers. Bring your old books and choose new one.

 

I am glad to inform you that next Book Swap Club meeting is to take place on Sunday, 31 January 2010.

It is going to be the first meeting this new year and I hope it will lead to further great swapping events.

 

We are meeting at Starbucks Coffee (Tulskaya metro station) at 3:00 pm.

 

Book Swap Club Organizer - Leyla Korkelia

Dear Victorian, are you a member of that Book Swap Club? Do you often visit such meetings? I am sure it's a good idea to meet native speakers.

I have seen this message only today.

 

My husband gave me an electronic book as a present for NY eve. So now I can probably reed any book I find in the Internet. It was my dream for more than half a year:)

 

Dear friends, how did you spend you NY vacations?

I also suggest to discuss websites which help us to improve our English. As for me one of my favourite electronic dictionaries is Multitran http://multitran.ru

A great gift! I use my PDA for reading books, it's very convinient to take it to public transport.

 

I was at the Red sea during my NY vacation. It was really strange feeling when I was diving in water on 1st of January Also I posted some photos here about my walking in the Aravah desert.

 

My favourite website about foreign languages is WordReference.

Англичане переведите плз на русский:

"you can always spot a lady"

[Papa 119]

зависит от контекста.

скорее всего, "ты всегда можешь узнать (среди других) леди"

в смысле, она обладает характерными особенностями.

[victorian 8 435]

Как вариант - "Настоящую леди заметишь всегда"
