Using Humor to learn English

Rezky, do you want to hear Russian speech??? It is easy. Search something in youtube to hear Russian speech and then let me know your opinion about its sound. OK?

By the way I will search something in youtube to hear Indonesian language ;)

Hi guys, really I wanna here how’s Russian speak?

Lesya, yes, this “Ы” is a new sound for them. Living in Ukraine we sometimes had a pronunciation test for Ukrainian language asking Russians to say “Palyanytsya” ukrainian bread:) It wasn’t that easy as well :)

Olya, foreigners can’t pronounce the sound “Ы” and it is quite difficult for them to pronounce the last three letters of my name.  I taught them many times how to spell but all in vain :D They say “Лесья”

They should have born Russian :D

Absolutely, being as an English second language learner and very often getting the jokes about my pronunciation, I once asked the native speaker guy to repeat just in Russian – Tra la la la la laaaaa. :))) just meaningles syllables in a singing way. He was reluctant but did it and it was tra – ya- ya -ay yaaa. I was laughing…

We oftentimes hear what we want to hear, good example and joke.  Thanks CatchR.

here I’d like to share-—-—! Morris, an 82 year-old man, went tothe doctor to get a physical.A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street witha gorgeous young woman on his arm.A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said,”You’re really doing great, aren’t you?”Morris replied, “Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hotmammaand be cheerful.’”The doctor said, “I didn’t say that. I said,’You’ve got a heartmurmur; be careful.’” Learning Part *)mamma= A slang for young woman. *)murmur= A kind of sound that low and continous.

Ktie, right on!

Sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees.  Good joke Insaf95!

A man goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor, please help me. I hurt all over.”

The doctor asked the man to explain more.

The man said, “When I touch my arm it hurts, when I touch my leg it 
hurts, when I touch my head it hurts. Everywhere I touch it hurts.”

The doctor examined the man and said, “Mr Smith, your finger is broken!”

another joke:

Father: Well, Tom, I asked to your teacher today, and now I want to ask you a question. Who is the laziest person in your class?

Tom: I don’t know, father.

Father: Oh, yes, you do! Think! When other boys and girls are doing and writing, who sits in the class and only watches how other people work?

Tom: Our teacher, father.

Exactly.so my boss will be my God.Fortunately ,I am still a student.lol

Ktie, that’s because he’s paying the cost to be the boss.  Take time to use your abilities and creativity to find a need and fill it.  Once you’re compensated monetarily, you’ll pay the cost to be the boss!

Hi everyone.I am new here .I saw this on the Internet about months ago.

When I take a long time,I am slow.

When my boss takes a long time,he is thorough.

When I don’t do it ,I am lazy.

When my boss doesn’t do it,he is too busy.

When I do something without being told,I am tring to be smart.

When my boss does the same ,that’s initiative.

When I please my boss,I am ass-kissing.

When my boss pleases his boss,he is co-operating.

I do good,my boss never remembers.

When I do wrong,he never forgets.

Joke: A guy went to his friends house and knocked on the door.  His friend says, “Come in” but was holding the door to prevent it from opening (playing).

As his friend struggled to open the door, his friend released his hold on the door and it opened.  Once his friend was inside he said, “That’s why I don’t take you out in public!”  They both laughed and was glad to see each other.

hahaha ^^

Knuschu, thanks for your contribution.

We encounter humor in everyday life. Here we have three statements from children essay:
”...Butter is made ​​from cows. Otherwise it is called margarine….”

For me as a German, maybe I would say the same (with different meaning) ;)
”...Matches must be well hidden, so they get no small children….”

I hope it’s not to dirty ;)
”...In Goethe’s Werther, a woman is looking for the right position between two men….”

Ryo, I think that is a “dirty joke!” :(

Anja, the truth feels good when it doesn’t hurt.  In your case, “the proof is in the pudding!”
