    Thank you Rachel and Marina for this interesting advanced lesson! 🙋‍♂️👍 Guess Marina and I speak the same native language, so it's always exciting to see how she's fluent in English! 😊👏
    Sometimes I feel stuck and completely frustrated with my English 😟 *It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears* to reach the level where I'm right now. But then I remember that I've been exploring English for 3 years, and *I'm sooo into it!* 🔥👏
    I also feel responsibility for my friends and viewers of my English vlog who believe in me 😌 🙌 But recording English-speaking videos is the process *that is really slow-going.* 😬
    _P.S. By the way, today (March 8) is International Women's Day in many countries including mine, so I want to wish you only positive things, be happy, stay safe and healthy!_ 😊🙌

    Interesting collab! I _really_ enjoyed Marina's Russian lessons, back in the day; she's definitely a mentor of mine (unofficially) 💙 Serious question, from someone who has taught ESL but had to learn English - as did Marina - myself. Can we ever be _fully_ rid of the pervasive constructs of our native language? For example, at 2:07 Marina says "explain her" which is EXACTLY how we'd say it in Russian: объяснить ей. But, in English, without the "to" - explain TO her - the meaning changes 😉

    Learning English trying to speak like a native is an UPHILL BATTLE, really TOUGH-GOING, especially if you don't live in USA, England etc.. making our dreams come true has never been PICNIC. That's why we dream, because it's challenging, very far away from our reality. But I'm gonna keep on using this and others channels to learn new vocabulary while having fun.

    I knew them all. Problem is, they never come to me while I'm speaking. I even keep in my phone a long list of idioms I hear and I go through them regularly.
    Understanding idioms is not a big deal, remembering them when you need them in a phrase is a horse of a different color.

    • @voluble-englishspeakingclu2336
      @voluble-englishspeakingclu2336 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A lot of students have this problem, they struggle to take their passive vocabulary to their active vocabulary. The only real way of doing this is to use your English as much as possible and put yourself in situations where such phrases and expressions might be demanded by the context. Take a look at our group communication classes - unlimited classes - 1 month free trial!

    The phrase "blood, sweat, and tears," used to denote considerable time and effort needed to do something, isn't often used in speech or writing. It sounds a bit goofy and belabored. I would say it's not appropriate to suggest that non-native speakers start using it in common speech.

    • @FormerRuling
      @FormerRuling 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There needs to be context for this one. The phrase is almost always used in a melodramatic way where I am. For those that might not know this means its overly emotional - exaggerating for effect. I wouldn't say it comes off goofy in my area (the American South) but people will take it as someone describing the situation in a needlessly extreme way.

      I was using the term "goofy" loosely, to signify "sounding ridiculous (when used to describe mundane matters)."
      "Needlessly melodramatic, depending on context," would have been more precise.
