The blog about the Russian language for English speakers

This blog is intended to help English speakers learning Russian.

Russian is my native language and I will write about some interesting and funny things about the Russian language.

I will explain some details of grammar, colloquial expressions, slang (how could we do without it?) and words associated with Russian history and culture.

These notes are rather for intermediate level and higher. You will unlikely find such notes in an ordinary teach-yourself book.

I hope this blog will be useful for all learners of Russian and useful for me, because it gives me special practise in English when I try to explain you some features of the language, Russian expressions and shades of meaning.
