Изучающем английский. Может кому-то поможет
How to learn English - 5 personalized receipts from me. Only for those who can read, of course. We don't care about the rest, do we?
1. Watch movies. American movies. In English. With subtitles. Or without them. Enough said?
2. Fuck the grammar. Yeah, NOBODY says "I have been staying in this apartments since xxx". I am here since yyy - that's what you will always hear if U're in States.
3. Use any chance to talk to a native speaker. I was lucky enough to find one even in Gomel (hey Jarrett!)
4. Think like American. Speak like they do. Say hi every time you have an eye contact with a stranger. Don't pay much attention to "how is it going" question. "What's up" is just another form of saying "hi".
5. Learn slang and abbreviations, but don't use them too much - people won't be impress by that.
6. Don't try to translate jokes and sayings from Russian until you know a replacement in English - they most likely won't get it.
Noticed that there are more than 5 items in my list? Good, go pet yourself :)
