Improve Your English Writing Skills Together

I´ve also heard that the Vojta´s method is maybe "overused" in our country and not so useful on the other hand 😠

Norik 😀
Duska-you are welcome 😉

so, this was my "confession", now I feel ashamed that l haven´t yet asked how are you girls 🙂

Norik 🙂
I´m the same sometimes without realizing that I´m only speaking about myself.-shame on me! 😀 😅

I´d rather go and prepare for my lesson and go to bed sooner as I will probably give a lift to my daugher tomorrow morning. 😝 I don´t like driving at all,but my husband is trying so hard to be a good "instructor" that I shouldn´t be so selfish and try more so that he could see some results of his patience as well 😀

Hi girls,
It's nice to see, that it's so busy here again. 🙂 I see, that many of you do translations. I now, that Etuska studied English and she is an English teacher, but what about you Norik and Weroni? Are you also English teachers or have you studied something else?
And Etuska, I am sorry that your last English lesson didn't go very well. And especially when I now, how you didn't feel like going there and you had to. But I am sure that it'll be better next time. 😉 By the way, how is your little princess doing at school? And is she improving her English?

Hi Evi,
thanks for asking.Miska is fine,trying hard ro speak English and we get a new book every day from her teacher to read it in advance so that it would be easier for her the next day 🙂
What about you and your cute Esther?

norik I can imagine it, but rather I don´t want to 😀 😀

etuska u´re right - what a great feeling 😵 😀

btw - when talking about tranlations - my best translation ever was called "What influence does TV have on children?" 😀 It was about three pages long and I made it in 15 minutes 😀 I wish I could have only this kind of translations 😀

Kivec: l studied British & American studies, Presov university (Anglistika a amerikanistika). Only later I took a 3-semester pedagogical studies to become a teacher....so officially Im more translator than teacher 😀 😀 I never taught in normal school - only language schools....and now l work as a manager in one big Slovak company, but english is a part of my job 🙂 (well, not now, now Im on HOLIDAY 😀 😀 😀 )

"Holiday" is really the best word for "maternal leave" 🙂

Norik-do you have a "licence" for translatiing as well? 😕

...and I´m also thinking nowadays what should I do in next few months/years... 🙂 Whether to try teaching here or simply decide to have another baby 🙂

...because when being in Slovakia,I though I would work in UK for 2-3 yrs,then come back and have 2 more babies,but now I´m not sure 😅

I did but closed it because of bureaucracy ... you must pay a lot of money to keep the licence, every 2 years repeat exams, visit special trainings (be in BA and pay for trainings, accommodation, travelling) you must ask 600 Sk per page (according to law - dont know how it´s today, closed it 2,5 years ago)...after all you spend more than you earn.... more problems than super feelings from good translations 😀

Norik-I didn´t know that it is really such a stupid bureaucracy 😠
I did my own translations and ask one company to provide me with the seal only and paid 350,-Sk/A4 😅 ,but at least I saved some money.The documents had to be translated officially so I did it my way 😅

Norik, It sounds cool 😀 ,,Anglistika a Amerikanistika" . Isn't it funny, I've only heard about somethink like Amerikanistika yesterday. Because my husband was talking about his friend who studied it. I didn't know (untill yesterday) that something like that exist. But I know now, so I'am not so surprised as I would have been two days ago. 😀 And what about you Weroni?

Etuska, welcome in our club of ,,driving haters". 😀 😀 😀 But my husband wasn't patient instructor at all. 😝
I had to learn to drive by myself in the end, because I was much more stressed when he was sitting next to me. 😝

See? & that is only for one stupid stamp...not the translation....and they must ask such money by law...and they must keep a translator´s diary where it is written who, how much, how long....it´s disgusting....

😝
And I was thinking about "further studies " to get my "translation licence"(is it the right term btw???? 😅 ) but now I´d rather start thinking about my postgraduate studies 😅
Kivec-It´s not about that I hate driving,but I´m still a bit nervous when I have to drive and I don´t know how I will manage it all by myself 😅 As the day when I will have to do it is coming closer and closer,so I´d better practice it as much as I can

sorry ladies I´m a driving lover hi hi 😀

..and I said to myself that I won´t have the second baby unless I will drive alone carefully and confidentally 😀 ...so this is my way of internal motivation 😀

Norik-I envy you 😅

we used translator´s licence or seal... you know, few years ago it was much easier, then they changed the law... because there were too many translators...before when you had a seal, it was for a lifetime, today only for 2 years...and you pay...

2 years-what an incredibly short term 😠

Kivec-how did you manage to drive on your own?I´m still scared of that.I feel more confident when my husband is sitting next to me

Etuska I bought my first car when I was in 5th year - had enough of commuting Kosice Presov every day and believe me it was a BIG motivation 🙂 my first car was Fiat 600 and it was 47 years old hi hi...I called it Vilmuska - my br´other asked me if I was going to drive my car like in the Flinstones cartoon - using legs hi hi so I called it after one of the characters 😵

Norik 😀 and what happened to Vilmuska?Did you sell it?

to Bedrock? 😀 😕 🤐

brrrrrrr husband & driving? I feel much more confident when heis NOT sitting next to me 🙂

My husband is really patient because he wants me to drive properly and in fact he is the only instructor I want to have sex with 😀 😀 😀
