Hello, everybody!
You are wellcome to our so called English club! Everyone can join us and try to speak English. It's a great opportunity to practice our speaking foreign language and to improve skills.
I propose to divide this theme into some topics. Firstly let's get acquaintance. My name is Oksana, I'm 35. I'm an English teacher? but now I don't work- I've got a baby. She's a nine-month girl. I am interested in reading( I prefer detectives and drama), music (especially lyrics), crosswords, cooking.
What about you?

What a good beginning! Nice to meet you,Oksana! As for me,my name is Mariya and I'm 28.I'm a teacher of English too and I don't work at present too!(So many coincidences!)My daughter is 2.

Where is my dictionary?

What is you daughter's name? When was she born?

Hope, this won't be a club of two English teachers!!!

Try to begin without it! You only try! The dictionary will be found later!


I hope!

My daughter's name is Olya.She was born on 25th July 2007.
The same questions to you,Oksana!

Hallo. My name is Irina. I"m 29. Now I don"t work. I"m marriade and I have 3 children - 2 boys and 1 girl. My hobby is crossctiching.

My gaughter's name is Sophy. She was born on December? the28th, 2008. She's my best New Year's present!


I've seen your kid's pictures! So lovely children! Especially the youngest! What are their names? How old are they?

You are definitely right!
By the way - but that's a joke,don't intend to hurt anyone-I remember a quote from"Desperate Housewives":Every child is a gift of God,but sometimes you just want to give those gifts back!"

Their names are - Vlad. He"s 3, Max. He"s 2, Svetlana . She's a seven-month girl

I'm not school teacher but I practise in colloquial eng with americans almost everyday. And I haven't learned difference btw some forms of past time. In dialogue with american people past continues and past perfect is enough to be understood.

Hi,Irina!You are most welcome!

Hello, girls! Oksana, thank you for such a needed theme!
Oh my God, my English is not very good, I wrote a large post in this theme and It disappeared How disappointing!!

Don't be offended,BondGirl,but I must confess that I envy you a little.You have a chance to talk to native language speakers every day - that's just great! I had such an experience too - but time flies! Is this difficult or confusing?Do you sometimes feel embarassed?

Ni, my neme is Lena, I'm 20, not married, but have a boyfrend. I like recing, Formula 1, books, football , stitching and window plants.

Hi,Anita!Don't be shy - that is not a club for the best English speakers,is it?We just talk and help each other.Practice and experience are two good friends.You are most welcome!


Hello,Lena,and welcome!Racing is an exotic hobby for a girl.How did you start with it? As for me,I like books,football and window plants too.What is your favourite football team?

Thank you very much, fastpen! Would it be difficult for you to point me at my mistakes? I would be very gratious to you! (I mean to all of you)

Dear Anita,it won't be difficult,but there are no mistakes to point out.More courage!Many English speakers make mistakes - and don't think of them!And you are not at school!Everything's gonna be OK!

About myself: I’m twenty four years old. I’m not married and I don’t have f boyfriend. My profession is accounting and I’m very glad that I have chosen it. Many people think it is too boring but not for me. Besides my job I enjoy some other things: reading books (Science-fiction is my favorite), cooking, walking down beautiful streets of my city…

Nope, it's ok. Americans have perverted the british english but its convenient for me - I don't have difficulties. This fact is really helps me. Russian is much more difficult to learn to Americans, they confused much more than me. I speak eng practically smoothly and Americans speak Russian with strong accent. I'm using "typically Russian" word order in scentience, I mean I'm still translate word-in-word, that's the biggest problem.

You know, I really like the american obscene lexicon, its very rich and not such heavy as Russian. I've noticed that people using it everywhere in conversations like русский артикль "бля". First time its strange but after some time it looks like obviously. Of course I mean light version of obscene lexicon. To learn new things is much easier than learning again things which you already know

Manchester United is my favourite team too.But I enjoy watching football matches with Barcelona abd Real Madrid too.


Yes,I agree.While looking after my baby I didn't have much time to practise English - she is just superactive.
So now when I see how mahy things are to be reviewed - oh,it's terrible!But you know,English is my best-loved hobby.I never get tired of it.

Сооl!
But i hаtе Ваrсеlonа аnd Rеаl.

Oh, sorry, I left you yesterday quite qearly because my little daughter didn't want to sleep. I had to pay her much attention. The theme of football is very interesting for me. My husband is a Football fun. He watches every match. Especially he likes Shakhtar. He even bought the season ticket to Donbass Arena. We were present at the opening ceremony of Donbass Arena. It was great! As for me I am also interested now in football because I want we to have common interests.
BondGirl, your English is very special and interesting for me.


Your hobbies are great! I have never been to Odessa. Once you surely tell us about it!


Tell us, is it difficult to have three children with such small differences in their ages? As for me, I've got two children. My older son is 12. He helps me much with Sophie. And what about you?

What do U mean? And about Donbass Arena, what about Beyonce? How does she looks in real life if you could see her from your places of course?


p.s. or maybe how is she looks, I'm not sure which of words is correct

Оh, girls, how mаny footbаll funs wе hаvе!
In 2007 I sаw mаtch Dуnаmo -Mаn U, it wаs wаndеrful, I sаw mу fаvouritе рlаyеrs.

My name is Vera,devorced, pschyhologyst,writer,so much optimistic type of person!

Wheelchair user after the medical vaccine.

On my mind i am the very independent and sincere type of person.Cheerfull and peacfull type of person.

Hello, everyone!
Thank you, Oksana, for this club. It will be a good practice for my not so good English.
About myself. My name is Ira. I'm 20 years old. I am a 4th year student. My future speciality is accountant. I like to reading enteresting books, to binding and plaing with my one year old nephew.
I hope you're will accept me in your company

It will be OK if you show me on my mistakes.

Your English is speaking, useful. It isn't like the classical language we were taught. You use very interesting combinations, it looks as if you have lived abroad for some years.
As for Beyonce I didn't like her much. The brightest impression was the number of her costumes. She changed them every song. I liked three very plump women with wonderful voices. They sang amazing! Some people left Donbass Arena before her concert.


Калинка, КошкаВСапогах, you are wellcome! КошкаВСапогах, probably it would be better to tell you about mistakes in Private? How would you like?

I've been living in NY 1996-1998, more that 2 years. My husbands daughter studying (studing?) at now, sometimes I'm trying to help her with english but if she doing hometask according to me her teacher always says that it is not correct variant of hometask. Or almost correct, or something like that. So as I understand I can speak just a light version of language which we calling разговорный стиль. Thanks God I can understand what I've been told.

Beyonce backvocalists is much better than our Via Gra, this is style of music, the way of show when details does matter. I haven't visited Christing Aguilera show in Kiev but I've seen some video from performance, she has the same helpers.

And it is a good tradition to make show perfect in details, thats why I love Broadway shows, my favourite film is "Chicago", I like american lifestyle of 1920-30, 1950-60.

Hello, girls!
Thank you for this topic. My name is Lena. I am 23 years old. I am manager in company which sets phones and Internet.
I like English but I am lazy. I am as a dog. I understand speakers but I can’t answer
There are free English courses in our town. Americans conduct them. Do you have same courses in your city???

p.s. if I did mistakes, tell me please in private

Hello, Lena! Yes, we have just the same courses in Odessa. Some years ago I had been visiting these courses. We just had been speaking with each other and with British (or American? I don't remember) teacher. This was very interesting. You know I was just like dog in the beginning too But In some lessons I noticed that I wasn't afraid of speaking especially if the theme of our discussion was interesting for me. But I'm lazy too, that's why I don't visit any courses now

My dream is to watch " Chicago"! I hope, it's interesting.


Glad to hear you! Nice to talk to you! You are not right, you not only understand us, you SPEAK! You almost don't have mistakes, so just speak and practise!

I`m as a dog too!
I read topik and mainly understand, but my English dropped off

If you don't understand something- just ask! If you don't know some words- look them in the dictionary and remember. It will improve your English.

Do you get an English magazine or newspaper by mail? Please, advise!
What do you know about “English.4U”???

Hi, everybody! Let me join the party! I like this chat and I like practicing English. I'm Anna, 27, I'm head of marketing department. I adore my job and I try to make the most of everything I get. I never give up and I'm sure that all dreams come true if you work for it.

Month аgo, in Odessa, I and my friends met Americans, and they propous us visit this courses, but one my friend, Ura, said "We come to You, if You come to us, in Formula 1 club" they said "Ok"
May be they are from your courses?

As for me, it's not difficult. I think to have 1 child it's difficult but with each other baby your life become easier (Sorry if you find mistakes. The last time when I wrote english words or red english books was 6 year ago)

It's so great to have 3 children, I think! Growing up, they can help each other in life, moreover - they can be the best friends for each other. And you become experienced mummy:).

I аgrее with you, I want hаvе 3 childrеn, 2 bоуs-twins аnd girl, it's mу dreаm

Helen, I don't know.
I just tried to find them in 2gis but I failed. Probably these courses are closed now. I remember they were situated in Kuznechnaya Street.

What's about books??? Do you read English books???
Do you watch films without translation???

Whom do you ask?
