трудности перевода

i think that if you learn chinese you'll also have mistakes in your speach.... that is the case with the people who learn russian... and not without reason russian is considered to be one of the most difficult languages in the world...
but still.... for us, native speakers, these mistakes sound really funny

Merry Christmas, biggie and all the english-speaking mothers!

By the way, I feel my English is starting to degradate... no speaking, no tranlating and no even reading    for more than a year already... I am not organized enough to manage child-care and upbringing, all the household work and supporting the professional level of English at the same time. That's a shame, moreover my job entails translating and speaking English... what a translator shall I be when I return to work after a five-year break?

Thanks, I feel not bad for my present state (38 weeks of pregnancy) -- both tired and excited though and even exhausted sometimes (my first child still requires much care and attention). In fact, it's getting pretty hard now -- the preparation to the New Year holiday together with preparation to childbirth -- too much fuss it makes and nerves and efforts it takes... But all these are insignificant problems -- the most important is the health issue -- and it's quite OK now and was even perfect during the whole period -- that's what encourages and comforts me before the crucial point.

Thank you for warm wishes!
Are you going to return to work soon or you'll wait until your younger daughter is three years old? (Excuse me my curiousity -- are you working at the same place you used to?)

Topic is not moderated. That's where the expanse! Break the rules for fun

While there is no one English-speaking, I am pleased to support your topic using Google translator.
We appreciate all topics

Oh, that's a deed! You are very welcome! 

Interesting Riddles – Only for Smart People!
Questions
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to
choose between three rooms. The first is full of
raging fires, the second is full of assassins with
loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that
haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for
him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds
him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she
hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out
together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you
use it, and grey when you throw it away?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without
using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
5. This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to
just how quickly you can find out what is so
unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain
that you would think nothing was wrong with it.
In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly
unusual though. Study it and think about it, but
you still may not find anything odd. But if you
work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so
without any coaching!

Just wanted to post the answers but see them below. that was easy))) do you have any more?
