A cosmopolitan's short narratives.

“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

The pronunciation class

Today I had a privilege to visit my former teacher and his present class. In normal case I am so busy that I don’t have time for any activities, but today I got a window and didn’t hesitate for a minute.
I was surprise how quick I forgot everything that I learned, and I was more surprised that I needed just two hours to revive my memories. I try to do my best but I progress exceedingly slow. My teacher tries to encourage and says that I have improved in my pronunciation. I need to find my own still, something in between British English and American English. When I listen myself on a tape recorder it hearts stomach, that is how unnatural my voice sounds. Sometimes I can’t even recognize myself; I think I have too high pitch in my voice and luck of softness. . I always envied those women who have a soft, thrilling, mysterious, and unforgettable voice; apparently I don’t have this trait.
