tulakicker I was in Paris 4 times, and travel through all France, but never been in Disneyland. There are a lot of much more interesting things to see around than American park on Europe

Mityay,

1. I HAVE BEEN to Paris (Your 4 times being is completed action, and you should use present perfect)
2. and HAVE TRAVELLED (the same), THROUGHOUT WHOLE France ("through" is not desirable to be used in such sentence, "all" is also a mistake)
3. If you say "never been" then you can not say IN, the right variant is TO (never been TO disneyland)
4. "In" Europe, not "on"



Sit down - your mark is 2!

Item 1 and 2 I disagree
3 Yes better to use at
4 ok agree

Бродяжник:

FF2_DEN Actually it surprise me a lot. Usualy in such theme parks, you buying only entrance tickets and all rides are free and you can track lines at special electronic boards

You are right. It was not a ticket queue it was just a line of people who wanted to drive on this boat!

Бродяжник:

fara0105 Item 1 and 2 I disagree 3 Yes better to use at 4 ok agree

Item 3 - If you say never been, then you must use only TO...No exclusions. This is a rule!

1 and 2 - only present perfect )) Let's not discuss, you can use whatever you think is right at last

Mityay, here you are http://www.native-english.ru/grammar/presperf

as you know, tastes differ

i really like those huge coasters with many loops, huge speed, etc

as long as we got nothing like this here in Russia - i would spend time for it while abroad

tulakicker
As far as I know in Disneyland there are not huge coasters even in States and in Paris especially. The biggest in Europe are in Port Aventura near Barcelona

Your reference to Native English web site is very very helpful. I have been looking for such a source of information for a long time.

Holy crap! This thread is awesome! Typing here isnt gonna help you practice your fluency in spoken. Best way is to get to some bar thousand miles away from home and get yourself some drunk buddy for a conversation, else (though impossible for the majority) go study somewhere abroad. No other options to get it good.

I'd like to cheer up those who speak up here freely, even though they make frequent mistakes. Keep it up, people!

Easy dude
Not everybody could go abroad, this topic is at least something

I agree with you on one hand and disagree on another...If you do at least something with your English, it's helpful anyway...So, drinking with a dude far away in a bar is as good as typing here ). The difference is - drinking with someone has limited set of phrases and you'll learn mostly the jargonisms and idioms or some jokes. But here you can see some serious topics like Disneyland in Europe )))

Yes, friends... PROMT a great thing

M!CH
Is Bar in Helsinki suitable for you?

vSAS
Bar in which drink different alcoholic drinks?
It as though other country.

M!CH
Sorry, i didn't understood the last sentence

vSAS

I sometimes do not understand that I write.
Helsinki Not so far from me, but to go there it is difficult. Between us border.

M!CH
if it's so hard to get abroad, could be better to find some friends from Finland in SPb. You can make excursion for them and they'll talk with you.

You suggest me to speak with Finns in English?
My friends therefrom speak in Russian.
There is a child-hood friend in London, but it not eligible to travel abroad. Can go on a visit to it on a week?

вопрос к специалистам

времени не хватает катастрафически. учить нужно. сижу ночами. но пока не очень

ElenaK

To learn words - read books, speak with natives

no secrets, no tricks, no methods...just the matter of your mind...
If you really need these words, you'll automatically rememeber them just within few uses))

As English is a member of Roman group of languages and is influenced by the Latin as well, a lot of words have the same root with latin words and they intersect in Russian. Like:

revolution
family
excavation
elevation
sublimation
potential
energy

and many many others...Just think about it...The rest is native English words or borrowed words from other languages like arabic, french etc., and you shall try to rememeber only them
