During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.

You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!

I love autumn in Korea, and it’s one of my favorite seasons because it’s perfect for taking walks and reading books. With the crisp air, colorful leaves, and even important events like the Korean University Entrance Exam, autumn in Korea is full of charm. Let’s talk about all the things that make autumn so memorable!

저는 한국의 가을을 참 좋아하는데요, 제가 좋아하는 산책과 책을 읽기에 정말 좋은 계절이기 때문이에요. 선선한 공기와 알록달록한 단풍, 그리고 수능 같은 중요한 행사까지 있는 한국의 가을에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요.

#2 Zwyczaje zakupowe (Shopping habits) – B1

Ее взгляд, изящная, благородная рука, которую она подавала мне, ее домашнее платье, прическа, голос, шаги всякий раз производили на меня всё то же впечатление чего-то нового, необыкновенного в моей жизни и важного. Мы беседовали подолгу и подолгу молчали, думая каждый о своем, или же она играла мне на рояле. Если же никого не было дома, то я оставался и ждал, разговаривал с няней, играл с ребенком или же в кабинете лежал на турецком диване и читал газету, а когда Анна Алексеевна возвращалась, то я встречал ее в передней, брал от нее все ее покупки, и почему-то всякий раз эти покупки я нес с такою любовью, с таким торжеством, точно мальчик.
