@Cerberus Now that you say that, I'm not so sure. maybe Fr 'tu' is high -front- unrounded?
But also, forvo is great, but I hear a lot of people do hyperarticulate or spelling pronunciation. Like all the Americans pronouncing 'fat' as 'fæ t' with extra release on the 't'. Which no one does in real life.
I am doing Proficiency exam practice and came across the following sentence transformation:
As you can see, according to the answer key, my answer is wrong. However, I did some research and found out that my version also works. Is it the case of the structure simply being more idiomatic with FOR?
Chief Editor of the magazine "Vazhnye Istorii" that published an investigation into corruption in the Putin family, has just been apprehended by the FSB, and nobody can contact him. theins.ru/news/240932
A real terror campaign against journalists.
Last December, they published an investigation detailing how Putin's relatives were "earning" hundreds of millions of dollars through corrupt schemes.
In 2016, he published a famous investigation about Putin's close friend Sechin, telling how he got his hands on one of the worlds most expensive yachts.
Roman Anin (on the photo) also published an investigation uncovering how Kirill Shamalov, Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, bought a 3.8% share package in Sibur for $100. The market value of the 3.8% package in Sibur is $380 000 000
Basically, since he is a Putin's relative, he was given a bribe of 380 million US dollars.
I guess Roman Anin now will get a lengthy sentence for something like "giving away important information to foreign intelligence". Such cases under Putin's laws can be processed in a completely closed fashion, without providing any glimplse of evidence to the public.
Another journalist has been languishing in court detainment under investigation for over a year now, and nobody even knows what he is charged with.
The horrible thing is that about half of Russians still support and adore Putin. A country of criminals.
@MattE.Эллен I've onlt ever heard thirdhand that some dudes will do that, Alaska or Germany or if visiting Southern Spain.
But counterintuitively, at the moment it is 15C outside and a comfortable 20C inside and I am currently looking at my feet and interestingly enough I am wearing both sandals -an- socks, white ones in fact.
I'm just as surprised as you are.
Because this morning when I woke up I was wearing neither.
Someone is going through all my answers downvoting. Then, I just saw that a user was removed on my list. However, none of the serial downvotes have yet been restored. The person was also doing this to me in Spanish. Unbelievable.
