a guy i met at a drunken bbq in north russia pestered me to coach him in English. this is so he can progress with an oil firm. his mates now want me too, im gonna charge them . im doin an hour on skype at a time,i really hate doin it if truth be told. mainly cos i cant thi nk of interesting subjects to discuss . this morning the subject was "shoes" and boy was it hard going. apparently he once bought yellow shoes in a green box from an online store in America.
