Повседневные парадоксы русского языка или как свести иностранцев с ума

May 27th, 2013 | By | Category: Pусский

В своей статье о русском языке я постаралась пролить свет на экспрессивность нашего языка, которая создаёт проблемы не только иностранцам, но и носителям языка. Вообще, мы используем множество примеров подобного феномена каждый день, даже не осознавая этого. Но стоит остановиться и подумать, откуда они появились, и вы будете ломать голову над их абсурдностью целую вечность. [...]

5 skäl att börja bryta

Mar 13th, 2013 | By | Category: Svenska

Hur står det till med uttalet? Fullkomlig brytningsfrihet är en bedrift som få kan skryta med, även bland stora lingofiler. Att prata med tv:n och läsa högt ur romaner när vi tror att ingen lyssnar räcker sällan hela vägen – men det finns en god nyhet för alla oss som sprätter accent omkring oss på främmande språk: accenter är det nya svarta. De där unika talnyckerna för värdefulla fördelar med sig, så om du – med blod, svett och tårar – har jobbat bort dem, kommer här en lista på fem anledningar att fejka en accent.



5 Arguments in Favor of Accents

Mar 13th, 2013 | By | Category: English

Got perfect pronunciation? Even among great linguaphiles, that’s a feat few can claim to have achieved. Talking back at the TV and reading novels out loud when we think no one is listening can only get us so far—but the good news for all us accent-sporting foreign language speakers is this: accents are the new black. Those unique speech quirks come with valuable advantages, so if you already—through sweat, blood and tears—got rid of them, here’s a list of five reasons to fake an accent.

Feb 21st, 2013 | By | Category: Italiano

Sono una ragazza italiana che sta partecipando ad un progetto europeo in Spagna, a Siviglia. Sono arrivata un mese fa e ho partecipato ad un corso intensivo di spagnolo poiché non lo avevo mai studiato prima. La scuola dove ho studiato, la Linc Spanish School, era molto buona, i professori molto preparati e le classi erano composte da pochi studenti, questo ci ha permesso di apprendere meglio e piu rapidamente inoltre ho potuto conoscere gente nuova, anche grazie alle attivitá che vengono organizzate all’interno.



My study-exchange experience at the Linc Spanish School in Seville

Feb 21st, 2013 | By | Category: English

I’m an Italian girl that is participating in a European project in Seville, Spain. I arrived a month ago and have enrolled in an intensive Spanish course, since I have never studied the language before. The school where I study, the Linc Spanish School, is very good. The professor is always prepared and there are only a few students in our group, which allows us to learn better and faster. I have also had the opportunity to meet new people, thanks to the school’s extracurricular activities.



Русский язык – такой трудный и привлекательный: в чем же его особенность?

Feb 7th, 2013 | By | Category: Pусский

Обычно люди преувеличивают уровень трудности русского языка, но мы знаем, что любой стереотип основан хотя бы на толике правды. Получить отличную оценку за предмет Русский язык трудно даже носителям языка (даже труднее, чем за математику), что уж говорить об иностранцах, пытающихся учить русский как второй язык. Честно говоря, я задумываюсь о правилах грамматики и пунктуации при написании этой статьи на русском больше, чем когда пишу ее английский вариант. Но это неудобство дает мне возможность выразить свою мысль сотнями более изощренных оборотов. Это ли не причина изучать русский и наслаждаться результатом после?
