Guys, you can watch the video we watched at class
here.

Here I want you to share your experience of learning English and other languages you can speak.
Do you agree with the following quote: ❝To have another language is to possess a second soul.❞? Why?
The more words you use from your active vocabulary, the better! ]]> 2017-12-14 14:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/216156051 volyakuzmenkova https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/216276819 2017-12-14 18:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/216276819 volyakuzmenkova https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/216670272 2017-12-16 11:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/216670272 https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217096191 When I read text about "big five" for the 2nd  time, I thought that it's entirely true. When you learn a new tongue, you will be  interested in culture and life of this native speaker. And it can influence_ you. Other climate, nature, history will change you by little steps, during which you will achieve your goals.]]> 2017-12-18 20:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217096191 volyakuzmenkova https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217144653 2017-12-19 06:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217144653 https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217252017 Language is a universal means for expressing feelings, emotions and experiences. However, each language does it in its own way. Therefore, the study of foreign languages is an enormous experience for a person. It is not enough just to learn the vocabulary or the grammar rules. You need to start to see the world from the other side, to think in a new way. A new language is an excellent opportunity to learn more about another culture, places and people. When you speak a foreign language, you feel like a part of another culture, you feel like another person with another soul.]]> 2017-12-19 14:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217252017 volyakuzmenkova https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217296649 2017-12-19 16:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217296649 https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217303983 To my mind learning a language  isn't an easy goal, it's very complex, because it consists of many aspects. Wise people say that if you want to solve a complex task you must devide it into smaller and easier parts. I've listened to them and devided "the language"  into 5 parts. These are: 1)vocabulary
2)grammar
3)writing
4)listening
5)speech
At first site it seems that any part doesn't depend on the other part but it's not like that. Your overall knowledge of the language is the sum of these aspects and i want to prove it. Imagine you have the best vocabulary, you know 10k words but without grammar you can't create the simplest sentence, can you? Or maybe you are an expert in listening, it's easy for you to catch on BBC News in English, songs of you favourite band etc. But if you don't have enough oral practise it will be a disaster when you want to talk to a foreigner. I can go on for a very long time and generate many examples but it isn't neccesary. The main idea is a language is a vast field of knowledge and if you learn it  partially you won't be able to use is properly. But after learning all the highlighted points you'll become very experiensed in the language and you'll use that with the highest efficiency.

p.s. if you can't devide your task into smaller subtasks the task is pretty easy or you can't imagine what you are  doing)]]> 2017-12-19 16:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217303983 volyakuzmenkova https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217361142 2017-12-19 19:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217361142 https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217740177 I personally think that learning foreign language we change ourselves, change our soul and mind, our outlook and of course broad horizons. It is great opportunity to learn more about mentality and traditions of people, whose language we are learning and according on these knowledge we feel that we are part of them. Also, when we speak foreign language, we feel more freedom, because it is something new for us, new experience. I think most people feel happier. ]]> 2017-12-21 16:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/volyakuzmenkova/n3id21aa0rhj/wish/217740177
