    Hello Marina,

    I agree that intellect is important, but betimes the cuteness of a gentle star which catches mine eyes on a sun quest day, dear lady I pray that if you could tell me what “oronyms” be said to be, in sensibility terms this day.

    I will bid you good in the hope that I receive a swift reply someday soon!

    Interesting lesson. I wholeheartedly agree with the postscript, and Marina seemed pretty serious about the point she was making. This must be a pretty old video, because I don’t think it’s a secret anymore that Marina is a philologist.

    As for cute primarily applying to girls, it is also common in the modern American vernacular for girls to refer to a good-looking guy as “cute” rather than “handsome” or some other such word denoting good looks, with ‘kinda cute’ being used in an ironic way by girls to say they think a guy is really good-looking. Notice I just used ironic in the proper way, as I just learned the irony lesson recently. :mrgreen: I realized that cutting down on my comment length meant having more time to fit in lessons at least once a day, so I did two old ones tonight after having another late night. Well worth it, as they made a nice nightcap.

    I would like to know why certain people posting here feel the need to do their best Shakespeare impersonation when making comments or asking questions. I mean, “betimes?” “mine eyes?” What the hell? And how can a star catch your eye during the day?

    Thank you for your comment!

    Being a poet I enjoy writing in the style of the old master poets, I like to be creative in my poems, also in knowing that ‘Marina HotForWords’ has intellect, I thought that writing some words in the old masters style would build a repoire with Marina and indeed Marina’s guests.

    I don’t know about other people though!

    I think it is really interesting when you say what you really think instead of just playing the role. It is always such a contradiction to appeal to lower part of the male brain at the same time as to the higher part. Of course, men would prefer the sexy part over the intelligent. This is because they see women primarily in terms of their own emotional and sexual needs, or perhaps they are looking for surrogate love. I sense that it would be easy for your students to fall in love with you, and I suspect that many have already. And looking at the videos from the beginning, it is clear they are the result of some emotional quest on your part as well. You put a lot of your own love into these videos and interaction with your students. In some of the very early ones, you look like you are in a lot of emotional turmoil within, so it was perhaps a hard time for you personally. No doubt the success of your project has boosted your self-confidence and self-esteem, as you appear much more confident and in control now. These videos are kind of like your own personal diary, a diary of personal exploration that goes well beyond philology. I feel kind of like a voyeur watching it, so I am not so sure it is a healthy thing to get hooked on. You also put tid bits of philosophy into your scripts, and there is nothing wrong with this. You could do much more in terms of being real for yourself, hopefully to educate your students more on feminist ideas and philosophy, as such is inevitably part of any life process of personal development, i.e., for any self-educating and open minded person of intelligence as you obviously are.

  • jon92thebest

  • school_dean_hot4.u

    Marina i have to agree with artlover what he says make a lot of sense. in your earlyer videos there was a sense of vunerabilty in them as if you were perhaps trying to get over a major disappointment in your life and trying to move on

    Привет Марина,
    Красивое сообщение!
    New students should take this lesson from Marina!

  • jnaples

    You’re “trying” to look cute? :grin:

  • tedt

    Can you place your face again infront of the camera ? Makes me sort of dreamy… :cool:

  • pulsionsinconscientes

    I like very what you say at the end of the clip.

  • numnutzzzz1

    can u do accuse? as in – my girfriend accuses me of sleeping with another girl :roll: does it have a connection to acute?

  • motolocox

    ARGH! My take on “cute” is this: When someone calls you cute they really mean that you are not ugly enough to be called ugly, yet not handsome enough or pretty enough to be called either. So when someone calls you “cute” they are not doing you any favors! After all, cute means “monkey” in Spanish. :lol:

  • kinsa

    And I wouldn’t say that motolocox, there are plenty of girls who are cute and sexy. Like Marina here would be a perfect example, or her clone hotforprofits.

  • pulchritudinous is you

    You didn’t have to try so hard to be cute, your smile makes you so cute, and the lifting of your leg at the middle was also really cute. Also, in the video at the end, everything applies to you: the great look, the beauty, the sexiness, the smartness, and above all the intelligence :wink:

  • pulchritudinous is you

    The end wasn’t such a secret, anyone could tell that you were very well educated, just from your speaking. YOU picked english up so fast!!

  • originalistrick

    So when someone calls you “needle-dick” it means they think you’re cute?

  • ravenlol

    did anyone notice flashing at 1:20

  • http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top pedanticKarl

    You mean like a subliminal message flashing of some hot chick with long blond hair in a pink dress? No, I didn’t see it, but for some reason I have the desire to find a cute or an acute woman of that description. I don’t know why. :smile:

  • iluv2cutfarts

    Intelligence IS Sexy! You rule, Marina!

    Ok hm i get serious a bit : you’re right on some points i surely agree with. Well i think that yes the point is (im not talking about the lesson..) the point is it’s not about how sexy i am or beautiful i am it’s true, but how smart i am that’s true and as i haven’t study a lot to prove myself that im clever so that i don’t really know yet, even im guessing im not that stupid for sure and regular btw (whisper : if you know what i mean… :oops: ).
    So, if im enough smart to succeed to prove you i am, what will i get : some words from you?? -> well i hope so.. ciao bella! :o
