Hi! So glad to know, that there r so many English speakers in the Forum. And French speakers as well. Due to my studies in England u can imagine how fluently I can speak, write in and understand English. 'Cuz in real life none will do interuptions or explain to u what he'd just said. For example in some regions in Britain u could hardly understand what people r saying, 'cuz of their accent and "English English" (not "American English"). Wow!Olya, where did you study?In what city?I would like to study in The UK too.Tell us more about Great Britain and British people.As for me I want to visit Scotland, it is very nice there, isn't it?
As u can see I'm always happy to see young people learning foreign languages. It's time to show the world that we r the best in Kazakhstan! -------------------- **********************************GF*************************************

Wow!Olya, where did you study?In what city?I would like to study in The UK too.Tell us more about Great Britain and British people.As for me I want to visit Scotland, it is very nice there, isn't it? It is, indeed. There are really nice places around Great Britain. Scotland - is very good region to go, but u need to be aware of that the actual length of bachelor's program is 4 years, and in England and Ireland is 3 years. I'm studying at De Montfort University, at Leicester City, situated in the heart of England. The area is called East Midlands (we are near Birmingham). The towns are quite different from each other and the old ones have a great architecture. So if u'll ever have the opportunity to visit Britain, try to book a tour around famous places like castles, acient monuments, strange new buildings, and I assure u - it worth doing it! That's it for 2day. Will try to write more next time. (IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -------------------- 'Whether the glass is half full or half empty it doesn't

And I know that there are many prehistoric places to visit, I like history very much.Have you ever been to London?I also know that The United Kingdom is very famous with its old houses. U r totally right, but not all of the cities have old buildings. For instance: after World War II many of Britain’s cities were completely destroyed, so u need to have a guide to find the "right place". I've been to London a few times. Really nice place to go to, The Big Ban is incredible, u just look at it and have only one thought "How come they managed to build it? » It's hard to gain access to "London Eye", but u certainly should do that. From it's capsule u can see almost the hole city. And for girls (specially) -there are a lot of shops in downtown. "Harrods" - is the most expensive, but also a well-known all over the world. The "girls shop" - is definitely -Topshop, u'll love it, I promise, it's actually has men's section as well, called Topman. If u go their with ur boy/girlfriend u both'll have something to look at and also fit in. (IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hi, AdilKa! It's ok to ask whatever question u like. Basically, I've been living in England for 9 month and I haven't lived here before. I'm originally from Kokshetau and came to England only because I've got "Bolashak" Scholarship. For another question - I do have a lot of photos, and will attach as many as I can to each comment. Unfortunately, I don't know the "Jamaica" joke, may be u could tell us? And about the "British humor", I really suggest u to watch "Hot Fuzz" - British black humor comedy. I've seen it in original and liked it very much. In this movie u could find some "British jokes". Take care and c u soon.

As for me if u pronounce "D'u" very quickly u can say "J", I agree. What else would u like to know about Britain? Сообщение отредактировал Оля Глушковская - 3.5.2007, 19:31

(IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) About Hadrian's Wall - never heard of it, really. Can u say where it is? Basically, I've been 2 Derby (China Factory, Derby Industrial Museum ), Nottingham and Birmingham. Next year we are going to Dublin (Guiness Factory) on a trip as part of our course program. Also I wanna go to Scotland may b next year (IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As for Hadrian's wall, it is situated in Scotland, I think that your friends from Great Britain know about it.I heard that Nottingham is one of the oldest cities in Great Britain and there is a very big and old castle.Where is your city situated?

Where is your city situated? Heya! I live in Leicester City,Leicesteshire. The area's called East Midlands. The City is 140km far from London and about an hour from Birmingham by train. There are about 30,000 of students living here. Also there is an Indian community that lives here over 300 years. (The most interesting is that the definition "English" and "British" are not the same. English - is for native, original inhabitants, and British - is for all migrants and people, who r not originally from Britain, but live or were born here.) Now I have a q for u: d'u know why the "V" sign showed by 2 fingers vice-versa is a rude sign?

Unfortunetly, No.But can you explain?And do you have photoes with your universety? I see Gvardia's already explained what this sign means in present. But I asked u whether u can explain why it became a rude sign. Ok, now I can tell u. In past, when there were many archers in Britain, and they were the main forse to defend the villages from enemies or other people, they used 2 (forefinger and middle finger) fingers to draw the bow . So, when archer was caught by his enemies they usually cut these 2 fingers (in order not to allow him to draw the bow again). That's why sometimes the archers showed 2 fingers ("V" sign) to their enemies - to show them that they could kick their a...s. After World War II Cherchill showed "V" sign, but vise-versa as a sign of Victory (but as many of Britains knew the history of this sign for them it looked like they kicked the German's a..) That's kinda a story about it. (IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) -------------------- 'Whether the glass is half full or half empty it doesn't

(IMG:https://zhuldyz.kz/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I've taken only a few, by now.But u need to be aware of that there isn't just one building in the Uni's campus. Each faculty has their own building. I'll just post the picture of the Campus Centre Building where the Student's Union is situated. It also has the canteen and Student's Welfare and Educational Centre.
