A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #146 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 2/07/10 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. I am thinking of setting up a new website for those learning Russian or English as a second language. The main idea is simple: I wanna learn English. If you wanna learn Russian, we could help each other. I think this would be very useful for a lot of questions that many of you may have, which don't always get answered properly. For it t...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #145 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 25/03/10 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. My apologies for not being able to post tips more or less regularly - time is tough, and mastering English is at all not a priority for me at the moment. I'll tell you about a couple of things that can help you learn English on your own, without anyone's help. It all boils down to reading a lot and making notes, unless you have a blott...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #144 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 27/10/09 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. There was recently some confusion about when we add -al to adjectives ending in -ic, e.g, algebraic(al, generic(al, econometric(al, mathematic(al, ironic(al, algorithmic(al, stochastic(al, classic(al, botanic(al. So when do adjectives take the -ic form and when the -ical form? Suffixes -ic and -ical is one of the more common suffixes i...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #143 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 22/04/09 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. Some ad goes first, and then I say something briefly on intensifiers - the time is tight, but something is better than nothing, isn't it? Again, as there is no one single best way to learn things, those who have not yet developed their own approaches to learning English are all recommended to subscribe to the newsletter being advertise...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #142 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 31/03/09 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there! We have an ad below, my own input for this issue being confined to the right usage of seem when it means to appear to be or have the look of being . Never accept she seems that she is poor as grammatically correct! Use she seems (to be) poor or it seems that she is poor instead . But the wrong version sounds a bit odd indeed, and not m...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #140 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 18/09/08 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. Finally, the winter is past, and the spring thaw has helped me write again! If you remember, in the previous #139 issue (the Easter Bunny one) I asked whether it was of any interest to have my Advanced English Newsletter up and running. Some 50 of 33,000+ then answered in the affirmative (maybe more, but they were too lazy to let me kn...

A warm welcome to all subscribers! Здравствуйте, уважаемые подписчики! Выпуск #139 "ПРОДВИНУТЫЙ ENGLISH" 21.03.2008 Электронные записки для изучающих английский язык Hi there. It 's been ages since we've written. It was all about a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas last time. (I may be wrong but does it matter) Now it's time to think of having some treats from the Easter Bunny. (Is it worth thinking of a rabbit delivering eggs) Anyway, we thought of resuming writing for this nesletter, and as a consequenc...

I just thought some of you might find the information below helpful.
