It's not a waste of time at all. Keep up the good work because one day you'll eventually hear these words :)
Like when I'll be an old trembling babushka? :)
usually britain and the british are very tolerant.
I know they are tolerant, extremely. But everyone can get fed up after some while, especially if things go bad, that is when the economic crisis hits.
Imagine that moment when you become hard to distinguish. Really don't you desire that? :)
You say speak like the natives do? Nah, it's impossible :)
One needs to live like 40 years in a foreign country to draw near the native speaker level, still there will be something which give you out.
RichfilthThank you for the links, certainly I'll check it. The comment of yours is brilliant, thumb up :)
radio also and surprisingly on television in comedies etc.
I must say that recently I listen to a BBC radio broadcast and had to listen it thrice but understood everything. It's a good listening exercise. Still I can't watch movies because I have difficulties with focusing for such a long time. It's not a matter of vocabulary, just it needs much more exertion than listening in a native language.
