    "We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not." / William Hall

    The quote above is what this forum is pretty much about. People are the same, no matter what language they speak. The human beings. So, let's talk about our differences to understand our similarities. In English please. Whatever it comes: ideas, discussions, life events, news, gossips... you decide.

    Special welcome to native speakers - Americans. Please participate, share your thoughts!

    Few simple rules (on top of Forum's rules):

    • English only! Russian and any other language can be used only as supplemental
    • Don't be afraid to make grammar mistakes. We are not a Grammar Nazi
    • Any opinions are welcome, but keep your emotions socially acceptable
    • Zero-tolerance to any type of abusive/offensive conversation

    Sincerely,

    Az (Moderator)

    This anecdote is very much in the topic.

    There is a war on racial grounds. Suddenly a preacher appears:"Brothers!" Let's drop our weapons!
    You are all equal with God! Imagine that you are not black and white, but all green!Let's sit on the bus and go on a picnic!Everyone is touched, they threw up their weapons, the bus drove up.
    Preacher:- Light green in the front door, dark green in the back door!

    Hello, Razum, my old friend, good to see ya here (it took time for me to get back... anyway, it's good to be back!). Just a reminder - please speak English in this category.

    I don't see any controversial meaning in the statement above... just a little "стёб" Cool (BTW, this is a perfect example of supplemental Russian...).

    Art, no worries, nobody is perfect. Don't afraid to write/speak in English, even if it's bad... it is the only way to get better. Day by day, phrase by phrase, one little step at the time.

    Palatine is OK. I have friends living there for a long time (townhouse). I rented an apartment close to Palatine, in Buffalo Grove, for a few months. Buffalo Grove is better.

    Ok, thanks. I think that is more hard for new immigrants. I dosn't friends with verbs. Is not interesting in school for me. My very very big mistake. I'm so sorry!

    It is hard. But there's no other way just to learn, practice, speak, write - day by day, bit by bit. And then, one sunny day you suddenly realize that you can clearly understand what other people say.
