KNOW-HOW English Language Services

Happy Saturday, everyone! KNOW-HOW together with Dandy Cafe have something fun in store for you to make your Thursdays fun and educational - here it is, we hope to see as many of you as possible!

The seasons are quickly changing, the weather is getting nicer and some of us may be "on cloud nine" with the prospect of spring just around the corner!

Weather is not only a source of emotions but also makes the English language brighter with expressions like "it never rains but it pours", "fair-weather friend", "there's something in the wind" and many more!

If you "haven't the foggiest idea" when it comes to all these expressions, no need to "put it on ice" any longer because KNOW-HOW can help you make sense of it all :)

KNOW-HOW would like to wish everyone a happy Maslenitsa! May everyone eat as many blinchiki as they can while they still can :)

And we're back! The Olympics are just around the corner but foreigners will have some difficulties understanding what is required of them...maybe the Olympic Committee of Russia should have asked KNOW-HOW for some translation know-how!

Daily know-how: Ah, the holiday season is upon us! New Year in Russia is all about tradition, food, more food, family, gifts, food, glamour, snow, and toasts to the future. And food. If you've always wanted to learn how to cook some traditional Russian holiday delicacies head on down to Lucien restaurant this Sunday (Dec. 8th) for a special English-language New Year cuisine master class so you can acquire new yummy skills and do it all using the English language :)
