That´s the question!
Hello everyone!
Well I´ve just read Stephen and Anita´s blogs and I´m really impressed.
My goodness! Our dear teacher has style and class :-). And Anita and I have some many things in commom with!
Stephen, you´ll never bore me. Reading your posts makes me think in things that don´t belong to my little world. You just help my imagination flies away :-).
I have the same problem that Anita has: for me or to me, that´s the question. Sometimes I get all confuse about it and I often change the words order.
You see Anita, we have some things in commom with, apart from speaking English to ourselves( thanks God! I´m not alone in this habit ;-)) and the joy of being at a bookstore environment.
Oh, speaking is a big challenge for me. By now, I´m on holidays in my English course, so I don´t have anyone to speak English with me. Therefore I´m trying to put in practise the advice that teacher Jonathan has given us last month; to choose a character in one of our favourite movies and memorize his/ her lines, and then say the lines trying to imitate their accent. However, when you have the opportunity to speak English in a real situation it´s so exciting, isn´t it?
By the way Anita, I´m glad to know you´ve like my book tips :-). Once I´ve heard that in your country there are many wonderful bookstores. I bet there are indeed :-).
James, you´re really kind, thank you. I´ve never read any Harry Potter books. Well, I guess it´s time to give a go :-). I remember in one of your blogs you´ve mentioned a book that you´ve really enjoyed reading; Angela´s Ashes. I´ve listened to the Angela´s Ashes author´s interview at BBC World Book and I liked the plot of the book very much. I´ve watched the movie, which I thought very beautiful. Moreover, I´m trying to find the book :-).
Adri, Leila, Antônio, Marianna, Pari, Habooba, Hyoshil where are you?
Good bye for now,
Have good dreams,
Ana Paula.

Hi dear Ana Paula! As I´ve said to James yesterday for examlpe the comment to Stephen written at the same afternoon ís not there. Anyway, Elena(Voskresensk) despite the fact that Russian language I learned for eleven years at least three or four times at school and had a compulsory exam at university I am ashaned to say that I would be able to read probably with big difficulties your azbuka. And there is something diffrent about my learning English. I have ever wanted to read books in english which I do now with a big pleasure. But, except compulsory reading russian from schoolbooks, I have never had inner calling to read russian big clasics or contemporary authors in original. You know we had all of them in translation available. Who wanted to study languages could russian mostly then and they lived from translating. I am proud I grew out on big russian literature, though.
