Hi Abigail , Thank you so much for your recent Blog . The phrases all were helpful .I hadn't heard about The L red mark for drive learners. It sound so nice for other drivers .
Speaking about Iran crafts is a bit big Job . I think If I want to say every thing in details , you might be bored . To say in a nut shell As Iran is a big country some crafts mostly are made in some special areas . For instant in North of Iran as there are vast jungles and many rice farms there are lots of handy crafts made from Wood and rice straw for every day life and some for decoration . In some provinces (special in north west provinces where I live carpet- weaving are main craft . You might have heard about Iran carpet 鈥�.
Some provinces are specially well known for pottery . Making vessels from copper is so common in some cities specially in " Esphehan " in Iran central . Don't forget to say about making decorative objects from silver with high prices .Using glazed tiles is another ways to decorate external walls of building in Iran .These days it has been used mostly in mosques and some other traditional buildings .
By the way I 'm fond of colorful window frames with geometric plans which was common in the past , too . What a pity now we just can see them in the museums .
Still there are lots of different aspects of Iran art which I haven't said about . I can remember when I was student in Tabriz ( one of Iran big cities ) there was a big handy crafts festival .It took me days to visit there completely and as I have a special passion for handy crafts I really had a nice time there .
By the way , Great Aunt Doll's doily is great . It 's some thing I used to weave long time ago . As you said it take ages to make it .
Waiting for your next pots
Have a nice day and bye
Pary from Iran

Dear Abigail!
As usually your post is fantastic!!! It makes me happy :) I really like the way you explain the words, it is so clear that I start thinking 鈥榟ow could I mix them up???鈥� :)
And thanks to 鈥樏垩看� Learning English鈥� for showing me nice phrasals ;) By the way, I love 鈥榯he flatmates鈥� very much and it was a pleasure to check the page out once more. I鈥檒l try to learn these confusing word pairs or at least will make an attempt at it ;))
What a nice doily! Yeah, this is a very special present. I can imagine how much it takes your husband's Great Aunt, and the meaning is definitely 鈥� love to you :) I think she sent you much good energy with it;) As to modern Belarusians, I'm afraid not many of us know these meanings, but we still believe that something made by hands is usually for someone very dear :)

Dear Pary!
Thanks for telling us about Iran crafts, Iran carpets are known all over the world, I think. And thanks for the receipes, now the 'club' has more tasty dishes for weekends:))

Good - more pancakes this weekend! And I'll try kotlets as well. I love cooking. Thanks, Pary!

I'm glad you find my posts helpful, Veronika. It can be very hard to explain words and phrases, once someone speaks English to an advanced level. To be honest, it took me a while to work out what the difference was between those words!

Dear Abigail, and of course dear bloggers,
maybe in Italy we've more luck about discerning the differences between "meaning" and "sense", because we have the two terms too! ("significato" and "senso"). So, we're in the same position. More difficult is the fight against "make" and "do", bacause we have only a word, "fare". I think that in English the problem is nested inside the auxiliarie use (and dummy use) of "to do", that we have not.
Ah, the Tower of Babel!!!!!!
Have a good day,
Antonio from Italy

Dear Antonio!
We have 2 different words in russian, too: '褋屑褘褋谢'- sense and '蟹薪邪褔械薪懈械'- meaning, but it didn't help me:))

Yes it doesn't always help, does it? I suppose we just use those words differently in different languages.

Antonio - yes I agree, the fact that we make 'do' into an auxiliary verb confuses things even more. Sometimes when you try to explain the rules of a language, they're so complicated, it makes you wonder how any of us ever speak a single sentence! :-)

Dear Abigail,
definitely I don't agree :) !
English is simpler than Italian (for Cirillic, I don't know) because of a grammar more "thin" and few, very FEW, verbs' forms. We have a flood of them (a couple of future, a throng of past forms, and different for each subject).
Said that, "do" is a hard thing to handle.
Anyway, better to discuss about recipes, because in THIS, we are VERY well prepared!
See you soon on this frequency!

Ciao, Antonio:))
perhaps, it'd be even better about embroidery :))
