Only English in this topic!

Many people who are going to move to Canada have to practice English. I suggest you to talk English in this topic. You can talk about everything here, but only ENGLISH :)
First of all, say some words about yourself. :)

Cool! Let's speak English.
Here is my first advice: don't use "I suggest you TO talk", the correct form is: "I suggest you talk". Also, we are not TALKING English here, we are SPEAKING English. Although "speak" and "talk" are often interchangeable, you cannot "talk" a language, you can only "speak" "a language.

I’d like to. But I don’t feel good while writing something (anything?) and doing stupid mistakes.

Who cares? Nobody speaks proper English in Canada anyway.

I care. Lots of people speak good English. And it seems you also do.

Anfisa, even native speakers MAKE mistakes. ;)

Haven't met one yet, but there is always hope...

You can always say "I meant to do that; just wanted to see if anybody was paying attention"

I like the idea to skeak only English in this topic! What will we chat about?

Pride parade?

Oh, I've got an idea. Let's talk about Edward Snowden. What do you think about it?

Nick:

Pride parade?

It's already done is Russian :)

I don't know who this person is :(
I have to google it:)
Will it really be interesting for me to read about him?

You're kidding me! US is trying to catch him for 10 days. How come you haven't heard about him?

I'm not watching the TV, and I'm not listening radio during last few years. So I'm not updated:)

Oh, US has been trying to catch this poor thing for so long and we don’t know the details. So, Nik, tell us what you know.

Edward Snowden worked for CIA and NSA. The guy suddenly decided to become a "whistleblower" and told newspapers about a secret project called PRISM. Which is, simply put, a mass surveillance program of American government.
He then flew from Hawaii (where he worked) to Hong Kong and then to Moscow. His final destination is considered to be Equador.

US meanwhile is trying to get him and requests his extradition (first from Hong Kong, now from Russia). Which seems naive and pathetic. Since when US and Russia are expected to extradite runaway spies of the "enemy"?

To me it looks like the guy was Russian spy in CIA and NSA. When in danger to be caught he was evacuated quite urgent to Hong Kong first and then to Russia. In a meantime it was decided to make him a public hero and to show "kuz'kinu mat'" to US once again.

Thanks four your feedback! I hope I can improve my brocken English soon.
I used to be good in English in school, it was my favourite subject so I hope some skills are still with me :)

You have my respekt :) I don't watch TV too - it is useless and it is a mindtrap :)
