Sierra Rock Painted by Vinci App

Sierra Rock Painted by Vinci App The Vinci app created this fun coloring for a mountainside on the Sonora Pass Highway in California. Pretty oranges and teals. The final photo size is too small to create much more than a postcard at a site like Zazzle. I have some photo border postcard templates in my online store that can easily be adapted with a smartphone photo or artwork such as created by an app like Vinci.

Noticing Case Endings in the Slavic Languages

Steve Kaufman's information: "I find the case endings in Slavic languages tricky, so I decided to take action. I began tagging phrases according to their case endings while reading on LingQ. This way I can see these tags when I come across the phrase again, or I can see a list of all the examples I've collected when I click on a certain case tag. This kind of concentrated study will help me to get to grips with this feature of the Slavic languages." I use LingQ, and I have been adding phrases with the different Russian cases when I come across them in reading. I do create the LingQs with accurate definitions that work for my learning style. But, the only review I do is when I encounter the LingQ in another article, book or podcast that I'm reading. Most of the time when I run across the phrase again, I can immediately recognize it. To me it seems like just the process of creating the LingQ phrase and setting the translation in the definition was enough. I'm

Annalee Blysse sent you a video: "Keeping Up With More Than One Foreign Language | Ployglot Routine"

A video by a young polyglot livluvlang talking about how she studies Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I want little blank notebooks like she has! They're more leaflets than a notebook. Maybe a week of studies could fit in one little book. I could look a little harder around town. I never saw little notebooks that size at my favorite store ... WalMart. They do have some composition and exercise books for sale at Amazon in the Office Products and School Supplies areas of their site. I'll add a link to the comment section.

Annalee Blysse sent you a video: "Гуси-лебеди. Русская народная сказка. Гуси лебеди"

A traditional Russian story for children, with subtitles to read along for language learners. There are many versions of this fairy tale online. Read for cultural knowledge. Practice reading. Practice listening comprehension. Однажды родители попросили доченьку Машеньку посидеть дома с братцем Ванечкой, пока они сходят на базар. Но Маша оставила братика без присмотра и его украли гуси-лебеди и унесли к злой Бабе Яге. Удалось ли Маше спасти братца и вернутся домой, смотрите в новом мультфильме.

Annalee Blysse sent you a video: "Три поросенка и серый волк. Сказка для самых маленьких"

The Russian version of the Three Little Pigs with subtitles to read along or translate. Practice listening skills. New vocabulary. #Сказка про трех поросят является широко известным произведением. В основе сюжета #трипоросенка лежит поросёнок Наф-Наф, который обладает завидной предусмотрительностью, в отличие от своих беспечных младших братьев ( Ниф-Нифа и Нуф-Нуфа). Не пожалев сил, он строит себе настоящий каменный дом (в то время как братья ограничились соломенной и деревянной хижиной). И когда злой коварный #СерыйВолк, охочий до свежей свинины, без труда рушит жилища Ниф-Нифа и Нуф-Нуфа, именно дом Наф-Нафа становится надёжным прибежищем для всех трёх поросят.
