*Luck in Western Countries* 📚📚📚 In Western countries, people also believe in luck. Many think that some objects or actions bring good or bad luck. For example, a four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck. Some people believe that finding one will bring something good. Horseshoes are also seen as lucky and are sometimes put over doors for protection. There are also ideas about bad luck. For example, walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror is often thought to bring bad luck. In some cultures, Friday the 13th is a very unlucky day. However, not everyone believes in luck. Some people think success comes from hard work, not chance. But still, people often say “Good luck!” before an exam or job interview. It shows support and hope for a good result. In daily life, many Western people mix belief in luck with practical thinking and personal effort.

Expresión curiosa en español: “No hay tutía” Significa que no hay remedio o solución posible (“Lo he intentado todo, pero no hay tutía”). 📜 Origen: En la Edad Media, los boticarios preparaban un ungüento llamado tutía, hecho con óxido de zinc, que se usaba como medicina para curar infecciones oculares. Cuando algo no se curaba “ni con tutía”, se decía que no había tutía, es decir, que no tenía arreglo.

PANEL'KA Почему этот скучный серый вид так любят музыканты и режиссеры в России? Для кого-то это просто серые дома. Для большинства русскоговорящих людей это место, где ты родился и вырос. На моих уроках мы говорим со студентами о таких частях современной культуры. Про это не пишут в учебниках, но без этого не получится узнать культуру и понять язык. Приходите на мои уроки, будем разбирать тексты песен и смотреть современно кино✌️ Why do musicians and filmmakers in Russia love this dull gray aesthetic so much? For some people it’s just a bunch of gray buildings. But for most Russian speakers, it’s the place where you were born and grew up. 🤓In my lessons we talk about these parts of modern culture. You won’t find this in textbooks, but without it you can’t really understand the culture or the language. Join my lessons and we’ll break down song lyrics and watch contemporary films ✌️
