A simple family. Just English is part of the school curriculum. Almost everyone knows, especially young people. I always wonder how my oldest son learned Chinese. :D



I also!:)

In winter we live in the city, in the summer and on weekends we come to the country house. Closer to nature. We can not consider a country house for permanent residence, because we work in the city. And the urban infrastructure is more suitable for medicine, education and cultural activities.

I talked about this here.

@Larisa Your eldest learned Chinese??? Here some people can't even speak English properly, like me!
Instead of using YOU, some people use YOUS... no reflection of their character, of course.

My late father in law used to say, If you shouted in English long enough, people from all over the world would understand you ...

@Larisa , Very interesting.. Will have a look later! It's true - urban life when you have children and everything is close by.. In such a vast country like Russia, there must be quite a bit of inconvenience living in a rural area..

@Logan Dicentra likes it warm and sunny. Mine has pride of place, warm morning and afternoon sun all day long.. Never fails me.. The white one is not in the ground yet. Yesterday, I was turning the soil and dug up several dahlia tubers, one with new shoots... Why am I so disorganised????

My Dad used to say, we shouldn't need to learn another language, because the English language is all over the world. Other races should learn English

Just managed to get hold of another breakfast bowl to replace the one that i broke last week. There not cheap, but the place that we get them, will sell just one. Or as many that you want.

Don't break anything though -- if you can as it gives you a feeling of bad luck.. 10% discount with 90% still to pay .. Give him a hug .. as least he hasn't made you feel bad...
