Английский с Laura Pickens

This is my son Danny. He is such an interesting child. He lives in his own world. He loves to cook. He doesn't really like to follow directions or listen to others. He loves doing experiments. Sometimes that catches things on fire. And he sees numbers in interesting ways. I'm not really sure what he needs but I'm going to get whatever it is.

Cultural Differences Between Russia and America 🇷🇺🇺🇸 I have tried to avoid topics that might cause disagreements, but we all know that America and Russia have historically been at odds with each other, and we find ourselves there again. I consider myself to belong equally to both cultures and wish we could discuss our differences without dividing us. Let's start a dialogue about what makes us different and what unites us.

The school absentee policy in America seems harsh. The same idea exists in the workplace to a degree. There is a mentality that work comes first. I think it's part of the American work ethic. In Russia, it feels like there's a belief that parents have more of a say in what's best for their children. It does make school seem less of a priority however. I'm not sure which is better, but I do love that me choosing what's best for my child is not being questioned in this case.

There's a reason people treat their tutors like their psychologists, at least the good ones are. The most important thing for my clients to achieve success in language learning is to get good with their mistakes. Learning Russian through immersion and facing sales clerks who didn’t understand me, missed job opportunities, and conflicts from miscommunication, I had to learn not only how to make mistakes but also how to love them.

I'm so exhausted from the end of school and the sun. Blackout windows, air conditioning, eye masks – nothing helps. This northern living is killing me.

One of my favorite reasons for living in Russia is not having my entire worth as a citizen be tied to my credit score. I don’t even have a credit card and most people I know don’t. 🧡 If you want to chat about this or learn more, come join our private chat on Telegram for 299 rubles a month. Click here for more.

🌍👶 Raising Kids: The American vs Russian Approach 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Ever wondered how cultural norms shape our expectations and behavior? Today, let's dive into the differences between how I raise my children in an American way versus Russian traditions. 🤔📚 Discussing topics like this, I often encounter the notion that I’m generalizing. But let’s face the truth: cultural standards are real and they influence both our parenting and relationships. For instance, if a man doesn’t pay for dinner on a date in Russia, it might be poorly received. What would happen if we denied the existence of such norms? 🤷‍♀️💔 💬 What do you think will happen if cultural expectations are ignored? Let’s discuss this more! 💌 Want to chat more about this?

Cultural Differences in Marriage: Not Just Russian and American 🌍 If you're interested in relationship differences, you probably already know that Americans might ask a girl to pay for herself on a date, while in Russia, this is quite rare. Living here in Krasnodar with my Russian husband, I constantly encounter these differences — seeing both the positives and negatives in each. 💵❤️ I believe that understanding we are not obligated to each other is key to harmonious relationships. Ayn Rand's words inspire me: "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." What cultural differences in marriage have you noticed? Let's discuss! 💬 💌 Want to chat about this or learn more? Click here to join our chat at 299 rubles for 30 days.
