Article in one of the Largest Russian Newspapers

But you ARE teaching us English + Latin + French among other things. It’s a great idea you have put into motion. You should be proud!

Excellent article Marina.
I have been thinking about why most people say that you are teaching English, when it seems to me that not only are you teaching about the basics of language such as Latin, Greek and root and loan words from other countries, but you are teaching the history of words and history in general.

The way I look at it is this way. When all the public has is a hammer, then the public sees every problem as a nail. In other words, the public in general, especially Americans who are not taught in great numbers or with passion the subject of word origins as is being taught in Russia and other countries, then most people will only think of the teachings in terms of learning English which most people think of in terms of grammar and spelling.

Soul cool… :smile:

I also think that you are teaching americans english. And that is so funny, humorous. I had to take one and a half years of either German, French or Russian to get my BS in chem in 1984. I wish I had taken Russian or French-OOH! LA LA! French, is so sexy. romantic!

Privet Marinka….do you know or have you read anything by John McWhorter???His latest book “Our magnificent bastard tongue” is ….ochen horosho….be nice to see two mentally and physically beautiful word addicts like you two to do a tour together

;-) C :cool: :cool: L :!: :grin:

Good article, even if I’m suspicious of any newspaper that has the word “truth” in the title. :) I managed to read it in the original version, in spite of the fact that I read the Cyrillic very slowly.

How can you interpret the results from Google Trends about Hotforwords? It looks like the trend has been slightly decreasing during the last 12 months, but not much. How does it translate into the actual popularity?

:smile: Say Komsomolskaya Pravda in a row three times fast.

thats cool marina! you should teach us how you read that writing cause i dont know how :| teach us something fun or a tradition that is famous in russia, like a holiday or something :cool:

Oh, one more thing i really like how your dressed you look very beautiful like that, I LIKE IT ALOT :mrgreen:

Я тоже медленно читаю по-Украйнций! :razz:

But Marina, you ARE teaching English to Americans! :grin:

Word requests:

[Esperanto], as in I’m “esperanto” you’ll do a lesson on this! :razz:
And maybe as part of that lesson: [международний] [языкъ] :grin:

Curious coincidence: “язык” is apparently cognate with the Breton “yezh,” both meaning “language.” :cool:

Более лучшая статья здесь, дорогая Марина. Это вы перед силиконом, да? :twisted:

Dear Marina,
Congratulations on a nice article about you in a major Russian newspaper. Maybe Russians will learn to speak English better by watching and hearing you!
As soon as YouTube starts to broadcast 3D videos, I hope you will buy the video camera with the twin lens so you will appear in 3D! I’d gladly wear those red and green glasses to see you in 3D!

Нет это не Марина
Вот она :mrgreen:

Here are other online articles

Марина Орлова

Русская девушка

Вода в одной Марине как влажна как другие… :twisted:

Много Украинцев тоже, только по русски, особенно в восточной Украине! :)

Марин Орловых у вас много! :grin:

Marina’s Mail Order Brides video on You tube she sings some russian? song that sounds like “Caka lean, cocka lean” What on earth does it mean? Marina also has s sweet singing voice to me. Sort of personal and playful. Her voice alway sounds sweet to me.

It’s “Kalinka”

Kalinka :grin:

The song looks and sounds spirited.

Despite the fact that the song is about a shrub of viburnum in a garden and a pine. And maybe about the love underneath them. So, probably the Anglo-Saxons have the mistletoe, the Germans have the linden tree and the Russians have the viburnum as a symbol of love.

‘K ;-)

Nowadays, etymology is treated by the majority of linguists as a minor subject in all countries. Diachronic approach to languages is not in vogue in the modern linguistics.

Is Olga Kay OK?

Do you know also the famous Eastern-European singer Korky Bucheek? :smile:

Hi Teach,
Congratulations on the good exposure! More mainstream exposure leads to more opportunities for you, and I know that you have what it takes to capitalize on such opportunities. My admiration for you is exceeded only by my respect for you.

[YEP]…iNterNatioNal money from CEASER…face it!…mess-ing :lol:

You are the the one with a band?…does the twitter comments get relayed?

…soul what is it latin or greek :?: :smile: …

“I spit on your breast”!?!? Who said that? Time to get some of your bully students to take care of things.

Google Translate did it wrong, when it came to translating idioms. “Мне наплевать на ее бюст” means something like “I don’t give a f*ck about her bust”.

Similar funny translation by Google Translate from another article about Marina:

http://www.afisha.ru/article/4969/

“О да, я сама себе дизайнер”

That means:
“Oh yes, I am my own designer”

Google Translate version:
“Oh yes, I own a designer”

LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shouldn’t “I dream of her home in the Hollywood Hills with a large dog…” actually be “I dream of her large home in the Hollywood Hills with a dog…” :grin: Or is Gorby on the way out?

Perhaps instead of relying on Google to translate, M should do a translation for us.

Notice how they always seem to choose the “reclining on the floor” pictures?

Don’t forget the linden tree made famous by that fat guy on YouTube.

Technically, there is no hidden meaning in this song.
Sometimes, simple words give to us much more.
The words in this song are symbols. In [Russian] poetry, it has the name – Symbolism.
Here is a classic example of Russian Symbolism in a poetry.
The words say about a blizzard and a candle but we think about love.
That’s why I’m hot for words :lol:
mr tonyb was closer ;-)

you have come a long way,Im proud of you my teacher

‘at’s jus’ wot i was thinkin’…

So why is it that they thing you’re teaching us English?

1 m 65 cm nice height.

I spent a good bit of this evening helping a friend with her English homework, after reading that, I am sure she used a translation program. :sad:

my favorite line in the article:
“famous American leader, Bill O’Reilly.”

Great article none the less. It is always good to learn more about you. I do prefer Mosnews over Pravda. :smile:

Nice Ad over there to the right, Michael Kors
I like how they did the catalog browsing
by flipping pages from either corner. Pretty neat stuff.

You are a dream, “blondinka”.
