It must be here "female" is the key word...

serious question

If anybody of MSLU graduates ever visits this topic, could you kindly express your opinion as to whether it's not an altogether crazy idea to attend one of the MSLU retraining programs. And what's the difference between this and that?

Saturn, what exactly is your point, brother?

Tell me one thing, Klezmer, you do not, then, think in English still, if you were going to address your friends in Russian?

As to the mutual understanding, why, I can understand the boat thing, but it's not always our "shipmates" that we communicate with.

All well.

Well, let me tell you something. When I'm speaking English (or any other of my dozen languages) I obviously don't interpret my thoughts to myself, I just speak it.

But there are certain fields like music, where you absorb some verbal OR semiverbal ways of communication since you're a kid. So, speaking of brain activities, the music-making is a very specific kind of work and communication. I mean, I should've mentioned it's at music rehearsals when flashbacks like that happen to me.

Palmex:

Rain, have you learned your English in Harlem?

Harlem has faced a radical gentrification quite long ago. Now it's kind of fancy and expensive to live there. If you're looking for THE accent, make it to Red Hook in Brooklyn, up to the shorefront.

That's amazing! How come you know such a variety?

In many different ways. It's kind of long story But speaking of that, I am always thankful to my parents, my cultural and lingual environment, and, finally, my journeys across Europe, US, and Israel, since I was a teenager. I am fine with speaking about that because I've never considered language abilities to be my merit.
