Relaxed communication as a tool for mastering a foreign language.
Good afternoon Today is our tenth lesson. We continue free creative communication on all topics that interest us, that are pleasant to our ears and interesting for discussion.
As you noticed, when such a free exchange of opinions, free discussion begins (of course, not everything turns out exactly and correctly), I try not to correct it along the way. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of receiving pleasure, enjoying the fact that I communicate, I interact. Everything else is sanding...
You can only polish what you already have. Then you can make adjustments, add something, change something, enrich it. This is the first. But this does not save us from the need to constantly hammer out these basic schemes, so that we never have to be distracted by thinking about what is there: didn’t, will I, will you, and so on. So that this works absolutely automatically for us.
So, well, let's continue our stories. Nastya, what did you do yesterday or on Sunday? Was the something interesting in your life?
(Nastya, what did you do yesterday or on Sunday? Did anything interesting happen to you?)

In this episode, students actively communicate in English on various topics. The activities they did the previous day are discussed. Even Mikhail and Alisa took a lot of time talking about the time they spent. New English words and expressions are added to the conversational “base”. The teacher persistently repeats that it is necessary to bring the basic schemes of forming English sentences to automaticity. Dasha is still absent from class.

Lesson summary:
Petrov emphasizes that when a free exchange of opinions and discussion begins, naturally not everything turns out exactly and correctly, and Dmitry tries not to correct the students during the conversation. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of pleasure and enjoyment from communicating in English. Speech polishing occurs after - you can polish what you already have. Then you can make adjustments, change, enrich English speech. But this does not eliminate the need to constantly “hammer” basic schemes, so that later we do not have to be distracted by thinking, so that the correct grammatical formulation of words occurs automatically.

Conclusion:
You need to make do with a few words in colloquial speech, and in Russian this is exactly what you do. And when you start speaking a foreign language, it seems to you that you need to create some text in Russian and then translate it into another language. But, most often, people use a small set of words that can be expressed or understood.
