Освоить наконец английский язык!

I'm not satisfied with my diligence this week because of missing 3 days in training. But I watched at least one film from my list - A Lot Like Love. Before it I didn't understand advantages of watching films in original variant without translating. But now it's evident for me.

And few days ago I knew about subject parties in moscow cafe where participants may communicate in english and improve their language skills. I will necessarily take part at such meetings in may be couple of months.

Last week was enough good almost without missing. The couse of such late report is a bunch of problems in my business with government inspections and trial. I hope it wll end in near future.

Speaking about positive moments I started the first film - A Lot Like Love. It must be said texts and dialogues aren't difficult. But Ashton Kutcher's pronunciation should be better. To watch such film with translating all unknown words will take about 3-4 hours. The main is not to stop.

This week I missed 2 days. And there is no reason of that.

I didn't start films from my list yet. But after finishing good video-topic from TedTalks I'll begin to watch the first one - A Lot Like Love. The video I'm talking about is speech about oratory, about your skills in communication and their improving.

By the way I've met one guest from Netherlands in airport this week and got useful experience in verbal english. He said my english is rather good. But to be honest I don't believe to him :)

So I finished one more week in my studing. I decided it would be better to enrich my vocabulary at first. And after that I'll learn grammar. Now I give you hyperlink to the video which touched me and got into the soul.

This is story of experienced ambulanceman about death and feelings of dying before death. Just 5 minutes video but it really impressed me.

Talking about watching films - no progress. I didn't start them.

P.S. Level 10 at LinguaLeo

Решил, что раз уж цель посвящена изучению английского, то и еженедельные отчеты буду писать на англ.яз..

This week I missed just one training day because of my friend's birthday. But at weekend I compensated it in full. So at first I thought one hour per day is enough volume to get english and to increase my level. But now I changed my mind. Really I'm pleased with myself. It's rather difficult to learn smth which is not being fully used at the current moment. But I win my weakness every day.

So films from my list are at the zero progress. And my level at LinguaLeo is 9. It's not the vast reason to be proud of it. But it's just the beginig.

Как и обещал себе, каждый день уделял английскому по часу. И даже на выходных немного позанимался.

В основном пока упор на LinguaLeo (7 уровень), наконец-таки перевел и узнал смысл песни Linkin Park - Numb. Плюс открыл для себя TED Talks - небольшие видео отлично прокачивают восприятие английского на слух. Кстати, в одном из этих видео одно предложение поставило меня в тупик:

"And so what our nickname ended up becoming, and what ended up sticking, was the Lowline, so the Lowline was born."

Смысл в целом понятен, но вот построение адовое...

За фильмы пока не брался, стоит сначала подтянуть свой словарный запас.

Что удивило, почти даже не надо себя заставлять садиться за английский.. сложнее даже закончить заниматься. Могу ведь, когда захочу.
