Thanks a lot! Totally agree with you. How could I forget about the legendary English pubs? I guess visiting pubs is a tradition not in England only, but in all the UK, isn't it? Anyways, I think drinking beer with friends is just fine for an adult, but it would be great if you answer another question. Is it fine if a group of teenagers buy some cocktails (which harm their bodies VERY much) and drink them in a porch (I'm not sure if it's a correct translation, so let me explain it: it's a place in a building, from where you can access the elevators, the ladder and usually the flats which are on the first floor. Porches are usually quite dark and deserted)? In the UK, of course. As I know, students of American colleges drunk very much on parties, but do guys in age of 14-15 do that as well? It's very interesting for me as if they do, Russia is not as bad as I've always thought. And do you people think it's fine to drink on a playground, right in front of little children?
Alcohol is not a bad. Who drinks a lot die, or his children are degenerate. This is Sparta. Those who do not die will become stronger mutates.The less people is less need to provide them resources.No one is forced to drink is the choice of each. Young people get it now. Alcoholics become more smaller group.
Yeah its called a porch(maybe balcony or emergency exit ladder) but it would be on the porch, or the deck or whatever it might be called not in in is inside, on the porch is outside. Every single one of my friends in highschool except for one drank, or smoked or did both; usually both. Probably picked it up around 15. Drinking in front of children? No, not really... I'm sure in certain areas they might; trying to think of news stories but the only story that comes to mind was a kid got beat to death with boards not that long ago, around 3 pm when the school was letting out.
In the UK people drinking is very popular, especially university students, who drink a LOT. I've heard of 14-15 year olds drinking that much to be honest.
Thanks, but I'd like to make it clear for me. Thus, first of all we have an entrance (a house usually has several of them). Then, we enter it and we're here (but this one is pretty clean unlike most of porches in Moscow). So, we're inside the house and are we in the porch or on a porch? It's really important for me as prepositions may be used differently in Russian in English (I've been saying «happend with someone» for 5 years ). That reminds me of a movie called «Kids», have you watched it? A nice film, showing us what happens with the kids which do drugs and have sex with no condom.
Russian language is more complicated in structure, it much depends on the intonation. You do not want to get something like: "???????, ? ???? ???". ?? ??? ??? ? 500 ??? ?? ????, ??? ?????? ? ??? ?? ??? ps3 ???? ?
On/in/whatever this forum we speak English, so I'll answer you in that awesome language which I like much more than Russian. No, 500 roubles for a game are fine, but it's sometimes really difficult to find a game for this price. I don't know how much do games cost in other places, but in Moscow all the high-quality games cost around 1000 roubles (about $40) or even more. And there are no jewel-boxes, only DVD-boxes which are always a way more expensive. Sorry for off-topic, but I need your help guys. I've been using iTunes for almost 3 years (though I think it's one of the worst things Apple ever made) and I have never had a problem like this. It says that the address I entered is not valid! Actually, it isn't because I use an American account in order to use promo-codes. But I've found a restraunt in Chicago on the Google Maps and entered its address, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
TheDrot, well, I do not know, I live in Nizhny Novgorod, and I have mostly jewel-boxes. I can only sympathize with you, because Moscow, a Moscow. I hope I have correctly understand the meaning of your sentence.

But that's just minutia Oh and no, I have not seen that movie...
I've googled for «porch» and now I can say that my dictionary was completely wrong. Lobby is a good word, thank you. Just like in Russian, awesome. One less rule to remember. 920 East 47th Street — is it a house address?
im in australia and i could answer alot of your questions. number 1. america actually owns the most powerful missiles and russia owns the most destructive bomb ever made (the tsar bomb look it up). number 2. i dont know what country has the best women but ive always had a thing for irish ones. number 3. english has been proven as the most difficult language to learn. number 4. young australians are known to be the biggest drinkers when overseas, at oktoberfest they make us use a different tent. and what happened to frank anyway?
I've googled for the tsar bomb and it's really impressive. Its size is like a... truck, huh? I read some info about the tsar bomb and what's interesting there are more facts in Russian Wikipedia than in the English one. So, Russian Wiki says that the shock wave made by tsar bomb when in was tested has gone around all the Earth three times! Also, people in thousands of kilometres from the explosion have felt it. is a video of the test explosion. The man commenting it is just explaining what's happening (like "now, here is the second shock wave"). quote="theteremaster"]english has been proven as the most difficult language to learn.[/quote] Really? But I think it's a lot easier than Russian (I don't speak any other language to compare). My mother speaks French and German besides of Russian and English and she also says that English is the easiest of these four because in it, there are just a few situations when words must be changed. But in Russian the ending of a verb depends on the gender of a object (in "he's walking" and "she's walking" the word «walking» would be translated in two different ways). There are soooo many other cases so I guess it's very difficult to learn. My dad's friend speaks Chinese and he says that this language is extremely difficult. His English is perfect (he doesn't even have any accent) so I think he knows what he says. Lol. Never thought that any nation except Russians would be moved away from all the other people. You know, many guys from eBay don't want to deal with Russians because they may cheat. Could you please explain what does "frank" mean?
How you don't have to learn all the the congregation and adjective endings. Then theres all the other irregular rules that make it so confusing.
English isn't the hardest language, it's not even in the top 10. Icelandic was (last I heard anyways) the most difficult language to learn, followed by some African and Polynesian tribal languages.
English is traditionally considered hard to learn because it's more freeform. It's not really a technically difficult language, but it's very nuanced which makes it hard for a non native speaker to think and effectively communicate in it
