Hi guys, in this video I'll be doing an in-depth review on Arteza's Expert coloured

pencils.

Just for transparency, Arteza were kind enough to send me this set to review, but rest assured

that I'll be completely honest about the product and my opinions.

So, first off, taking a look at the packaging.

These sets come in a lovely tin with a hinged lid.

I'm always happy when products arrive in a tin, as it's an excellent way of protecting

and storing coloured pencils.

As for the information on the front- there's very little to glean other than that they're

artist quality and they boast rich and vibrant colours.

I like the modern and understated packaging design, although an inspirational artwork

to show off the possibilities of these pencils would've been more exciting than the colourful

cross-hatching on the from, in my opinion.

Turning over onto the back and we're greeted with a lot more information:

"Professional grade artist quality coloured pencils".

And that they're "break resistant and have soft and thick leads".

And that they offer "smooth colour laydown for superior blending and shading".

"Unsurpassably lightfast and acid free quality pigments".

And that they're "ideal for drawing, illustrating and colouring"

So as always, I'll evaluate the claims towards the end of the video, to see if the product

lives up to them!

So taking up the bulk of the packaging we have a swatch chart- which I seriously approve

of.

The swatches aren't incredibly representative of the colours, but it definitely gives a

good impression of the range inside It would've been nice to see the lightfastness ratings

also printed on the back here.

And the remaining information is contact information and a guarantee- which is nice to see- and

some information to show that these pencils conform to American and European standards

regulations, as well as responsible use of wood.

So now taking a look inside.

The pencils are organised in three layers of plastic inserts.

Something that struck me straight away is how much these pencils smell compared to other

pencils I own- and personally I don't find it unpleasant- in fact I find it quite nostalgic

as it smells like the exciting art kits I received when I was small.

These pencils do conform to the American and European safety standards for art supplies

and toys so I'm not concerned about toxicity- but if you are sensitive to smells then you

may want to give this product a miss.

The smell has dissipated a little since I first opened them, but the smell is certainly

quite strong still.

-The trays are quite cheap and flimsy plastic, but they do the job.

Initially the pencils were organised in a strange way, so I went ahead and put them

in a colour order that felt more intuitive to me.

The pencils came pre-sharpened to a flat tip, but since unboxing them I've used them and

sharpened them myself- they certainly didn't arrive this sharp.

If you'd like to see my first impressions of these pencils I'll leave a link in the

cards in the top right, and the description box below.

But now taking a look at the individual pencils.

The build quality of these pencils is excellent.

These round pencils feel very solid and are covered in a thick glossy lacquer, including

an end-cap.

I've measured the pencil barrels to have a diameter of 7mm and a wonderfully large

core size of approximately 3.8mm.

Each pencil is printed with silver foil, showing the company's name, the colour name and

number, as well as the lightfastness ratings of each pencil.

Although the foil print is very smart looking, I found that because it's so reflective,

on some colours it's a little bit more difficult to read.

The colour of the barrel is meant to represent the colour in the pencil, but take this with

a big pinch of salt- end cap or barrel colour is rarely an accurate match to the pencil

colour, and that's certainly the case for the majority of pencils in this set.

Instead, I find it much more useful to look at the revealed tip of the pencil, or refer

to a swatch to choose colours.

So now taking a look at the properties of the pencils!

Starting off with the colours in the range of this set, I think there's a great selection

with lots of bright and vibrant colours, as well as some more muted and earthy tones.

On the other hand, I think there are quite a few colours that are very similar to others

ones.

As you can see on this black paper, some of the pencils are quite opaque, whilst most

are semi-transparent or semi-opaque.

If you'd like a closer look at these swatch charts, I'll leave a link to my blogpost

about these pencils in the description box down below.

Next, I'll demonstrate how well these pencils mix and blend on some different papers- here

I'm creating a little colour wheel using just three colours- which are Lemon, Fuchsia

and Peacock Blue - with the goal of creating as smooth as blend as possible just using

the pencils alone.

The three papers I have here are Arteza's Watercolour paper- which I figured would be

a common purchase along with these pencils.

On the right I have some Strathmore Toned Mixed Media paper, which has a smooth vellum

finish, but just enough tooth to layer easily with coloured pencil.

And in the middle here I have the reverse side of Canson Mi-Teintes, which has a fine

grain and is a touch coarser than the Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

The laydown of these pencils is waxy and smooth, and the pigment distributes evenly with no

grittiness or random dots of darker pigment.

The pencils glide across the paper and feel quite soft in that respect, but they are also

firm enough to sharpen to and maintain a fine point.

I found the most effective way of blending colours was to carefully layer using a very

light hand and alternating colours.

Because these pencils pigments can't be easily pushed around the paper's surface,

and most colours are semi-transparent, I had to be extra cautious with the pressure I applied

the colours with, as haphazardly placed lines of one colour couldn't be easily disguised

with the next colour.

These properties do have their positives though!

Transparency and minimal spreading means that you have a high degree of control over your

application of colour, such as creating interesting textures and depth.

The next test is to see how well the pencils erase- so here I'm using a Tombow Mono Zero

eraser and a Derwent electric eraser to compare.

The Tombow Mono offers a lot of control when erasing, but the Derwent electric eraser requires

comparatively little effort.

Both do a good job of erasing the pencil, although the pencil has stained the paper

a little- especially at the top of these gradients where the application is heavier.

The third test is to see how pigmented and opaque the white pencil in this set is.

And as you can see it's not hugely effective on Arteza's watercolour paper, but works

best on the Canson Mi-Teintes, owing to the fine and slightly abrasive texture of the

paper, which really helps to pull pigment from the pencil tip.

The white pencil also works well on the Strathmore paper- I think the fact that this paper is

toned helps too, although the vellum finish texture of this paper isn't quite as grabby

as the Canson Mi-Teintes.

Now moving on to the next round of tests- I have some roughly coloured gradients I want

to try using some different blending mediums on to see what works best with these pencils.

First up we have Zest-It Pencil Blend, which is a liquid solvent made from orange turpentines

and is designed to be used with coloured pencil.

Mineral spirits or paint thinners will offer similar results.

The pencils dissolved well with the solvents and were able to be spread around to create

even coverage.

That being said, I didn't like how they worked on Arteza's paper, as the deep and

regular linear pattern made it difficult to obtain homogenous colour in both the valleys

and on the peaks of the paper's tooth.

Next we have the Derwent Blender pen, which uses alcohol to dissolve the waxy binder of

the coloured pencils.

The blender pen works with these pencils, but isn't particularly easy to use.

It does push the colours around a bit, smoothing out the blend, but the waxy coloured pencil

seems to stick to the nib and the make it difficult to apply the alcohol.

And finally we have a blending pencil- and I'm using the Derwent blending pencil as

I've found that it's the softest of the ones I've tried.

The pencil does a great job of pushing the pigments into the valleys of the paper's

tooth and works really well with these pencils.

The last little test is to see how well these pencils layer- and will also give an idea

of the level of pigmentation, the laydown and how waxy these pencils are.

I start off by filling the whole rectangle with a layer of coloured pencil using the

lightest hand possible, then I keep layering using this pressure until I'm no longer

having an effect on the intensity of colour, when I'll then start increasing my pressure.

The amount of layers you can distinguish and achieve will vary from person to person, but

10 layers for me suggests that these pencils offer a reasonably good level of control.

I did find that the intensity of colour was weaker on the Strathmore paper, but that paper

offered better control of even coverage during the first few layers.

So as you can see, paper choice influences the techniques that you use and the results

that you can achieve

Taking a closer look at all of these test sheets again now that the solvents have fully

dried- as you can see, the finish of these pencils is highly glossy due to the high wax

content.

These pencils have a high tendency to create wax bloom- which can show up as a glossy and

uneven streakiness in the surface, or as a milky or powdery white coating on the pencil's

surface.

I don't think Arteza's watercolour paper is a good choice for coloured pencil as the

heavy, regular texture makes it very difficult to create smooth and even coverage- especially

when blending or if you want to apply thin layers of coloured pencil.

Now moving on to the demo!

I've create a quick sketch of a tiger on the reverse side of some Canson Mi-Teintes

in a light warm grey colour.

From my experiments, I found that these pencils performed the best on paler colour paper as

they aren't opaque or pigmented enough to offer bright results on the darker paper.

I also found the Mi-Teintes to perform the best out of the papers I tried.

For many of my previous coloured pencil reviews, I've used pastelmat to demonstrate the product

on- however, as these pencils are most certainly budget friendly, I decided to test them on

a paper that I'd also consider kind on the wallet.

I've started out by blocking in some of the highlights and shadows- and as the tiger

has a lot of blue in his white fur I've decided to put some light base layers of this

in as well.

As I work, I mix lots of different colours into his fur to create depth and interest

and I really focus on building up contrast.

I think I use all of the browns in this collection on his orange fur, as well as all of the peachy

colours, as well as some blues, greys and yellows too.

These pencils layer very well!

They mix nicely with the mineral spirits, and I can easily work over the top of these

blended layers to refine colours and detail.

These pencils have very quick lay-down.

At 24x24 centimetres (or 9.5x9.5 inches), this piece is quite a bit larger than what

I usually create.

However, I managed to complete this piece in only 3 hours, but the 15x15cm tiger I completed

in a video a few months back- which I'll link to in the description and the cards-

took around double this.

That being said, I do feel like some of the speed was due to the fact that I didn't

go quite as detailed in this piece as I did in the previous tiger, as most of the colours

weren't opaque enough to stand out on top of the darker layers underneath.

The laydown was also sped up because the pencils are waxier, and the paper I used here is less

abrasive than the pastelmat that I used for the previous drawing.

For that drawing I had to apply a lot more layers to achieve a smooth finish, whereas

here it took comparatively few.

This could be seen as a positive or a negative- although the process is quicker with these

waxy pencils, there is also less room for lots of layers to build up depth and subtleties

in the colour.

Something I do want to mention though is that the white was surprisingly opaque- most white

pencils are disappointing, but this one was great.

It even stood out ok over the top of lots of darker layers- and worked especially well

if I dipped the sharpened tip into a little solvents before applying it- and I did this

for some of the details and whiskers at the end of the progress of the piece.

I used a crank sharpener to get a fantastically long tip to my pencils, and they also do well

to maintain this sharp point.

This makes them an excellently versatile pencil- good for coverage and good for detailing.

It also appears that the core is glued all the way down the length of the pencil too,

as although I've tried, the wood doesn't peel or flake away from the core.

This will help prevent breakage- especially if the pencils are dropped, as then the core

shouldn't just fall out the end of the pencil.

This range comes in two different sizes- the 48 set and the 72 set.

And as for the cost of these sets, excluding any shipping costs, on Arteza's website-

excluding any shipping costs- the 48 set sells for around £15 or $27 USD , and the 72 set

for £24 GBP or $33 . Prices appear to be around the same on Amazon and on other websites-

but I always recommend checking different sites out as prices can fluctuate by a few

pounds or dollars.

Moving on to a pet-peeve of mine- I explain this in more detail in the first impressions

video, but the "original" price for these products on Arteza's website appears to

be overinflated and not representative.

As far as I know the pencils have never been sold at this hugely expensive "original"

price, so don't be fooled by the sales tactic- although these pencils *are* good value for

money at the prices I previously mentioned.

So going off the prices these sets actually sell for, the pencils work out to cost roughly

40 pence or cents each- which is very inexpensive.

Unfortunately, these pencils don't currently sell open-stock, so if you run out of your

favourite colour your only choice is to purchase the whole set again.

As for lightfastness ratings, I managed to get a definitive answer from Arteza.

The lower the amount of plusses on the pencil barrel, the more lightfast the pencil is.

This follows the ASTM-D standard rating system for lightfastness- a I or a II is acceptable

for work produced for display and should last at least 50 years under museum conditions.

In this set of 72, 31 score a 1 or a 2.

And if you're interested in seeing how the ratings of these coloured pencils compare

to other brands, I'll leave a link to a blog post in the description box down below.

Something I thought was interesting is the way the colours are named- they all have quite

poetic names which I find to be quite memorable and quite descriptive.

I think the choice of names is particularly useful for newer artists, compared to the

more complicated and overwhelming names that high-end products often have- for example

"Moss" is a bit more relatable than "chromium green oxide"

Moving on to evaluating the packaging claims.

So the tin stated that these are professional grade and artist quality.

Moreover, Arteza rank their Expert range to be artist grade, whilst their Premium products

are considered student grade.

But..

I don't entirely agree that these are professional or artist grade supplies.

I think that the pigmentation is on the low end of being professional or artist grade,

and then there's also the issue that more than half the set isn't deemed to be highly

lightfast.

I would personally consider these to be on the high end of student grade, which certainly

isn't bad given their cost.

That being said, this is purely personal opinion, and there are no real objective requirements

for something to be considered professional or artist grade.

Moving on, the packaging claims that the leads are thick- which I can certainly agree with

given that I measured them to be 3.8mm, which for a 7mm pencil is very good.

They are also relatively soft- although just a touch firmer than other artist grade pencils

that are branded soft- which for me is certainly not a bad thing as a bit of firmness helps

for fine detail.

I've found them to be very break resistant and the tips very rarely snapped as I worked.

Like most coloured pencils, they do produce some dust as you colour, so make sure to pick

that up with a kneaded eraser as to avoid smudging it onto your paper.

Looking at the the next set of claims- these pencils do indeed offer smooth colour laydown

and do work well for blending and shading too, and they are great for drawing, illustrating

and colouring like the tin says.

The final packaging claim I'd like to cover- and be a bit nit-picky about- is the claim

that these pencils are "unsurpassably lightfast".

I dislike the term as I've found it to be easily misinterpreted- by myself and others!

Although it might sound like it, this phrase doesn't mean that these pencils have the best

lightfastness ratings compared to other brands.

Instead, I believe this term technically means that Arteza don't offer a more lightfast pencil

than this- that the scores are unsurpassable or unbeatable.

And this is true on a technicality- the Premium coloured pencils that Arteza offer share the

same range of colours and the same ratings.

Anyway- "Unsurpassably lightfast" is a phrase many companies use- and perhaps I'm

in the minority who find it misleading- so I don't think I can be too critical of this

claim.

But I'd love to know what you guys think in the comment section down below!

So to summarise with some pros and cons.

Overall, I think these pencils are absolutely ideal for practice work- they are fantastic

value for money, have excellent build quality as well as great pigmentation and laydown.

And in the 72 set there is a selection of colours that are lightfast enough to create

work to display and sell too, which is impressive seeing as the sets are so affordable, and

many budget brands don't give their colours lightfastness ratings at all.

However, if you're only interested in using the lightfast colours then you'd be discarding

over half of the pencils in the collection.

I think Arteza should've made the lightfastness rating system easier to understand by providing

information on or in the tin- or at least on their website!

I was only able to find a clear answer after directly contacting the company.

What's more is that the lightfastness scale for some of their other products also uses

plusses, but the ratings go in the opposite way.. which is unnecessarily confusing!

And just some minor issues for me- I feel like some of the colours are very similar

to each other- so although the colour range is wonderful and versatile, I can't help

but feel that the range could've been even broader.

It also would've been of real benefit to see these pencils available in smaller sets,

and open stock.

And my last little complaint is the smell- which whilst it doesn't bother me, I know

it's strong enough to cause an issue for others.

So who do I recommend these pencils for?

I'd recommend this range for students and hobbyists particularly, or to any artist that

may want to try out coloured pencil without breaking the bank.

The fact that these pencils aren't available open stock also solidifies my opinion that

these pencils are an excellent "gateway" coloured pencil, as it seems natural to then

upgrade to a higher quality pencil line which does offer single pencils open stock, as repurchasing

whole sets to replace a handful of colours isn't an efficient way of maintaining a

collection.

If you're an artist with an expansive collection, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this set

purely for the lightfast colours as their pigmentation is likely outcompeted by what

you already own, although these Arteza Expert pencils are great for sketchbook studies!

So here's my finished piece, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I can honestly say I'm impressed with the performance of these pencils and their value

for money.

I'd love to hear what you think about these pencils- whether you've tried them out or

if you're planning on buying them.

Exlinguo Novosibirsk language school review by Daniel, USA (Summer 2018) - Duration: 1:53.

Hi, my name is Daniel and I've been a student at Exlinguo

for two months, I spent the whole summer here.

After completing the program I honestly can't say enough good things about it,

the teachers are fantastic,

they work with you on exactly what you wanna work on,

so for example if there are things you feel like have been neglected or left out of your education,

especially if you're a university student like me and your professors don't always have

time to work on things with each individual student, that's not the case here,

you can work on whatever you want to work on and the teachers are amazing,

they're very friendly, they're very helpful, they devote a ton of time

to customizing the lessons just for you and working on exactly what you need,

so it's great. The school itself is also really nice, they offer all kinds of excursions

and activities so you can really get acclimated to Novosibirsk, and you get to

meet new and interesting people both who work here and others fellow students

from around the world that have all come here to study Russian so it's a really

nice experience and a way to meet a lot of interesting people.

Novosibirsk is a really cool city, it's quite a bit different from Moscow and Petersburg

but if you're looking for a real Russian experience, you want to see the real Russia,

I would recommend coming to Novosibirsk,

there's a lot of interesting things here to see, and since Moscow and Petersburg

tend to suck up all the students and the tourists, it's nice to kind of get out

in a place where that are very few foreigners and you can really get a chance

to speak pretty much only in Russian because there are not a ton of foreigners here in Novosibirsk

but at the same time there are a lot of interesting things to do and see and discover and experience,

so I can't really, I really can't recommend the school enough I'm extremely happy with

my experience here, my time here, the teachers, the quality of the instruction,

everything has been fantastic and if you're considering kind of an affordable

summer language program in Russia, in the real Russia,

I absolutely recommend Exlinguo Novosibirsk.

MI A2 UNBOXING REVIEW ANTUTU GEEKBENCH SCORE FACE UNLOCK TEST - Duration: 12:59.

The Mi A2 is all about delivering a user experience that's devoid of clutter.

Android One drives Google's vision for Android and makes it more accessible across various

price points Neither device is particularly striking on

the design front — but the Mi A2 has a slight edge in this area as its back is subtly curved,

facilitating better in-hand feel.

That said, the camera sensor on the Mi A2 protrudes quite a bit from the body, making

the phone wobble when using it on a flat surface.

On the subject of camera, the dual 12MP + 20MP configuration at the

back is one of the best in this category.

The Mi A2 consistently takes great photos in daylight and low-light scenarios, and the

front camera is leagues ahead of what the Honor Play has to offer.

The Mi A2 is aimed at those looking for an uncluttered software experience — as the

device is in the Android One initiative, the interface is in line with Google's vision

for Android.

The device runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, and Xiaomi has committed to delivering

the Android Pie update in the coming months.

Xiaomi hasn't made any significant changes to its design in the last two years, The device

still feels like an improved version of of the Redmi note 5 pro as

it has the same antenna lines at the top and bottom, and a similar matte finish While the

Mi A2 may not look very different from its predecessor,

it has rounded corners and subtle curves at the back that make it easier to hold.

Xiaomi has also retained the IR blaster, but the 3.5mm jack is no longer present.Xiaomi

provides a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle in the box that

lets you hook up your headphone jack to the device.

Also included in the box is a silicone case that offers basic protection.

Coming to the display, the 5.99-inch FHD+ (2160x1080) panel on the Mi A2 is similar

to what we've seen on the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but it's missing the display tweaks on offer

with MIUI.

There's also an ambient display mode that wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification,

and is very convenient The Mi A2 is the first phone in India with

Gorilla Glass 5 protection with better design aesthetic.

The Mi A2 has a single speaker located at the bottom, and it is loud.

The Snapdragon 660 makes it one of the fastest phones in this category, and you get 4GB of

RAM and 64GB of storage as standard in India (the 6GB version is coming soon).

While it isn't as big an issue in India, the lack of NFC will undoubtedly hurt Mi A2 sales

in Western markets as it makes the device incompatible with Google Pay.

While 64GB of storage is more than enough for most, there will always be a subset of

users that will refuse to buy a device that doesn't have a MicroSD slot.

And that's fine.

Xiaomi has more than enough devices in the budget segment, and the Redmi Note 5 Pro is

a better bet for those that want the added features.

Of course, your use case may vary significantly from mine, but I've had no issues with the

fact that the Mi A2 doesn't have a MicroSD slot.

Unlike most Xiaomi phones, the Mi A2 comes with Quick Charge 3.0 out of the box, and

the Indian unit supports Quick Charge 4.0 exclusively.

However, you'll have to pick up a third-party wall unit to access Quick Charge 4.0 speeds,

as the wall charger bundled in the box is the standard 5V/2A unit that Xiaomi includes

with its budget phones.

The Mi A2 comes with two new imaging sensors at the back — a 12MP f/1.75 aperture and

with a SONY IMX486 sensor joined by a 20MP f/1.75 aperture and with a SONY IMX376sensor

. The secondary lens is interesting

as it is designed to kick in during low-light shooting scenarios.

The camera interface has toggles for the flash, HDR, and live filters;

and you'll be able to switch between shooting modes with a swipe left or right gesture.

another unique feature on Mi A2 is a manual mode that lets you select between the regular

12MP sensor or the 20MP low-light shooter., according to environment lighting.

For example, switching to the 20MP sensor when shooting in low-light situations takes

advantage of the large 2.0µm pixels for brighter photos.

The Mi A2 has a 20MP front camera f/2.2 aperture ,, SONY IMX376 SENSOR with Xiaomi's AI features

On the bottom of the Mi A2, you'll find the USB-C connector, as well

as a speaker on one side and a microphone on the other.

The top of the phone is where you'll find the IR blaster as well as another microphone.

On the left side, is the dual SIM card slot, while the right side is where you'll find

the power button and volume rocker.

Even with the missing headphone jack, the Mi A2 remains as thick as the Mi A1 at 7.3mm.

You get a Night Light feature in the display settings of the Mi A2 that can be set at a

particular time of the day.

It turns your screen amber and is said to make it easier to look at the screen or read

in dim light.

You do get dual-SIM support, however, when using two SIM cards, one will support 4G while

the other will not, which is a bummer as you end up toggling between which SIM should

you use for data.

When it comes to battery, the Mi A2 is backed by a 3010mAh battery.

In our experience, the battery of the smartphone lasted easily about a day with moderate usage.

At this price, Xiaomi offers a well-performing mid-range processor, solid camera performance

and stock Android experience -- which is hard to find in competition at this price.

when it comes to video recording mi a1 comes with EIS In addition, the selfie camera is

another bombshell.

It sports a 20MP with soft selfie light and auto HDR.

It comes with AI portrait mode which gives AI bokeh enhancements.

Just like the rear camera, you also get a 4-in-1 Super Pixel feature

on the front snapper for perfect selfies in a low light environment.

The Chinese smartphone maker has chosen the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor to power

the Mi A2.

It has eight Kryo 260 CPU cores and an Adreno 512 GPU

selfies are detailed and we got sharp results when shooting indoors HDR is available for

the selfie camera and kicks in automatically when required

mia2 front camer supports 1080 p at 30 fps video recording whereas rear camera can support

up to 4k video at 30 fps recording You also get the option to shoot in 1080p at 60fps

rather than 30fps with the rear camera, Video stabilisation is available for the rear

camera, and helps you capture steady footage.

charge so it can charge up to your it can charge your phone up to four

times like it has 12,000 mAh battery it depends upon how much battery you have

on your in phone like if I talk about my iPhone I

guess 1900 or 2100 mAh battery on my phone so it can charge my phone up to

five times but approximately let's take about it will charge them our phone up

to four times so yeah so it has two output ports like one is 1 ampere and

the 5v that means it will charge your phone normally and the second

output port it has 5v and 2 amperes output capacity that means it

will be it will charge your phone quickly so this is the input power

charger so you can connect your data cable of your charger to charge it power

bank so the only problem is that it doesn't come with a charger it has only

a little it comes with only your little USB cable the build quality of that USB

cable is not up to the mark so you can buy another data cable and the charger

to charge this power bank guys you can see this cable is very small if you want

to be cable you can buy it from the market as well as from the online stores

so it will cost you around Rs 50 - 100/= Indian rupees and

is and the built-in battery right so it has an net weight 255 grams as well as

a gross weight is 290 grams and you can see the product dimensions as well as

the box dimensions as well so on the contents in here you can see the

contents that's micro USB cable as well as the power bank mobile battery

charger 12,000 mAh so talking about the safety instructions as the first one is

please do it the user manual carefully before using the product right and the

second one is keep away from fire and water we're definitely not going to pour

this thing on the water as we know the consequences now taking about talking

about the Third Point it says keep away from the reach of the children obviously

and the fourth is charged the product at least once every two months so if you

want to keep the health of the Powerbank you know quite good so you have to

charge to unit and once in a two months so you can charge it we're definitely

going to use it we're not going to put in our cupboard so and the fifth one is

temperature or the product might increase during charging and use

definitely every power bank almost heats up and the sixth one is while charging

iSolo Microphone Review! | iSolo Recording Package and Recording Expansion - Duration: 4:17.

Hi everyone! Today, we'll be taking a look at the new

iSolo recording package and recording expansion. First off

I want to thank CloudVocal for sending both of these mics to me. We'll go ahead and take a look into it.

So, it comes in this matte black box with details on the back

Then you can open it and it has a little passage

about Mozart

Then we have your Quick Start Guide with their new motto

You make music we mic it.

Then you just get the case and that's pretty much it in the box.

So, this carrying case is meant for just one microphone, one USB interface, stuff.

But I managed to fit both microphones into here along with the soundhole (mount).

So we'll go ahead and take these out we have the recording expansion,

along with the recording package and we have the USB charging cable. It's a micro USB and

then we have

the interfaces for both of the microphones and that's pretty much it in the case.

So, let's first off take a look at how these microphones are different. First off

we're going to start off with the recording package.

Now this one is like your standard basic iSolo;

it can only record one microphone, which usually is good enough, and along with your iSolo USB interface.

For the recording expansion this one you can expand your recording with

So really the magic is behind the stereo USB interface.

Now, the stereo USB interface can record two mics at the same time

For example, instead of just recording one with the recording package, you can record now with both of them.

Both the (recording) expansion and the recording package just to give it a more

fuller, deeper sound quality. Let's just go ahead and look about what I like about these microphones. First off,

they're really easy to record. You know, they're very small and

I like to use this carrying case so I can literally just go anywhere and record it anytime and just carry it with me.

The recording process is really simple. All you have to do is just take the microphone,

(make sure it's charged up, obviously) have the USB interface and plug it into any

computer. Then you can record with the microphone using any audio software.

That's pretty much all it is. It's really convenient to use and it's small and the microphone is wireless

which is also very nice.

The mic is also a gooseneck.

It's kind of nice.

One thing I don't like about the iSolo,

is that sometimes when I require for too long, which usually doesn't happen.

Because most of my songs are like four minutes max, three minutes.

But sometimes when I do record for too long,

then the audio has like little static sounds sometimes. But usually that doesn't happen because obviously my songs

are not recorded for that long and the battery life on this thing is five and a half hours, which is pretty decent

I would say. Especially considering mic is small and you know wireless and everything like that.

But yeah, so the price for these are pretty good. They're pretty affordable. For the recording package,

you can get this one for almost $200.

But right now, if you go on their website cloudvocal.com, it's on sale right now for almost

$150 and the recording expansion is almost $250.

But right now it's also on sale for almost $200. And, if you use the special discount code,

"LANVYSPECIAL" you can get a 5% discount. And so yeah just another discount on top of another sale...

take advantage of that :)

Um, but yeah, so they're pretty affordable at a pretty good price and you know, they sound pretty good too.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. That's

pretty much it for the recording expansion and recording package.

If you guys want to get one, go to cloudvocal.com and make sure to use the special discount code.

And yeah, that's pretty much it. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys next time. Bye! ^^

Bunny Asks Out Alistair Wonderland | Madeline Hatter Bunny Blanc CA Cupid Review Ever After High - Duration: 29:47.

Disney Doll Story

Today, we are going to add three more dolls to our channel.

Madeline Hatter, Bunny Blanc and CA Cupid from Ever After High.

They will be joining Cerise, Dexter, Ginger and Lizzy who already appeared in many of

the episodes.

We visited Wonderland so many times and it seems like Madeline Hatter is a great addition

to the show.

She is after all, the daughter of Mad Hatter.

Ever After High characters are used in my shows to complement other Disney dolls.

As long as they don't overlap with disney dolls.

With Ally, the daughter of Alice, as the core members of the Descendants characters, I saw

the need to expand the dolls for Wonderland.

So anyway, let's see what kind of a person Madeline Hatter is.

Madeline Hatter.

Straight from the famously mad world of Wonderland,

the always-happy Madeline Hatter or Maddie as her friends call her,

puzzles out puzzles, talks in riddles, and is the best friend a fairytale could wish

for.

This merry trickster always stays crazy true to herself.

Maddie loves her destiny as the mad host of tea parties,

but she is also excited about a future full of endless possibilities.

Madeline comes with a teacup hat and a kettle and look,

two spoons for earrings.

I guess she is always ready to have a tea party anytime.

Her dress has a beautiful golden embossing.

She has polkadot leggings and a beautiful pair of white and gold shoes.

She also comes with a little story.

I'll read it for you at the end after I finished opening up all of the dolls.

Hmmm...the packaging says there is a stand inside.

Looks like it's hidden inside.

What is your secret Heart's desire?

To explore this mad world, and also own the most famous Hat & Tea Shoppe in the land!

What magic touch makes you special?

I can pull anything out of my Hat of Many Things.

School books, tea sets, white rabbits.

They're all in there somewhere.

Does anything make you shout oh curses?

Well, everyone thinks I'm mad.

So nobody believes me when I tell them that I can see into the future.

What's your storybook romance status?

I'm waiting to have tea with a boy who loves madness as much as me!

What's your favorite subject at school?

Che-myth-stry.

I love making potions that make you grow and shrink!

What about your least favorite subject?

Debate.

If more people spoke in riddles, maybe I'd do better.

Who are your best friends til the end?

Raven Queen and Cedar Wood.

Though in truth I like everybody!

We opened up the rabbit hole a few times,

but the white rabbit didn't always appear in the show.

And then when I found this doll,

I thought wouldn't it be nice if there is a face to this gate keeper of Wonderland.

White Rabbit is an interesting story facilitator,

because she is friends with almost everyone in Wonderland and she seems running late all

the time.

One might wonder what is she up to?

What's happening with her clock and what does she know that she isn't telling everybody

else?

Bunny Blanc

She's late!

She's late!

She's not in a rush at all.

Chilled out, laid back and never stressed, Bunny is the future royal herald of Wonderland.

But she knows that it's best to take your time and look before you leap.

Maybe that's because even when the clock is ticking,

she always winds up where she needs to be, and always on time.

Bunnys just lucky like that.

Must be her two rabbit's feet.

Bunny comes with two bunny ears and a hat.

A pocket watch.

A fur outlined dress and a black and white knee-length boots.

And if you look closely, there is an hour glass in her shoes.

What is your secret heart's desire?

No matter what rabbit holes life takes me down, I always make time for the people I

care about.

What magical touch makes you special?

I can change from a human to a rabbit and back again whenever I want!

Does anything make you shout oh curses?

Actually, I have no sense of direction.

But I always arrive at my destination on time, so it's all good!

What's your storybook romance status?

I only have eyes for Alistair Wonderland.

It's heartbreaking that he sees me as just a friend.

What's your favorite subject at school?

Muse-ic.

As royal herald, I love playing jazzy melodies on my horn.

What about your least favorite subject?

Geografairy.

Who needs maps?

Eventually you'll wind up exactly where you're supposed to be.

Who are your best friends til the end?

All us Wonderlandians stick together but I'm closest to Alistair Wonderland and Lizzie

Hearts.

And next, I got CA Cupid,

because I can foresee a comedy with this character.

With her cupid's arrows, she could potentially make everything worse or everything comical.

So I think I can make another series surrounding CA Cupid and what she does with her arrows.

Anyway, her story is planned somewhere far down the road, so watch out for that.

This is a birthday party themed CA Cupid, so she doesn't come with her bow and arrows,

so that's a little disappointment, but no matter.

I can make one for her.

She comes with a pair of wings, a ribbon, a cake boxes and pair of cupcake themed shoes.

She would fit in perfectly in Madline's tea party.

What is your secret heart's desire?

While I do love guiding people to their special someone.

It's about time I include myself among those deserving of love.

What magical touch makes you special?

Everyone knows my Cupid's arrow can make a person fall in love,

but my real magic is helping people listen to their heart.

What is your storybook romance status?

Dexter Charming set my heart aflutter,

but I'm havin such a hard time letting him know my true feelings.

Does anything make you shout oh curses?

I'm such a terrible shot with my bow and arrow.

It's so not me.

What is your favorite subject?

Mythology.

You have to know where you came from before you can know where you're going.

What is your least favorite subject?

Crownculus.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Not everything can be solved with an equation

Who are your best friends til the end?

Apple White, Raven Queen and everyone in between with an open heart.

So as promised, let's read that story book for Madeline Hatter and find out a little

bit more her.

A New Orientation

Hey diddle, diddle!

I have a riddle, from Madeline Hatter to you!

Madeline is me, or Maddie for short, but also for tall people too.

Translated from Riddlish.

Hi, my name is Maddie.

Do you want to hear a riddle?

What can you do with your mind, and have of your heart;

What makes music in your purse, and is not the same from the start?

Give up?

The answer is change!

It's a word most fairytales don't like too much.

They usually like to do the same thing over and over again.

Red Riding Hood always wonders why grandma's teeth are so big.

Goldilocks always eats Baby Bear's poridge.

And my dear dad, the Mad Hatter of Wonderland, always has a riddle-filled tea party with

a puzzingly normal girl names Alice.

As the children of these legends, we go to Ever After High.

But we don't just go to scool.

We live, eat and sleep there.

The Headmaster says we need to master reliving our parent's stories, or folowing our destinies.

That's all dandy candy to me.

My destiny is hat-tastic!

But my best friend til the end, Raven Queen wasn't so lucky.

Her mom is the wicked Evil Queen and Raven's just wicked awesome.

It's so sad!

I'd want to hang up my hat too if my legacy was to be the bearer of poison apples.

But there I go, putting the cup before the kettle.

Let me start from the start.

Chapter 1

Every year before the first day of school, Headmaster Grimm requests that all students

attend a week of Orientation.

Of course, it's mandatory, but he likes to be polite.

This year is special.

On Legacy Day, we were to unlock the Storybook of Legends and pledge to follow our parents'

fabled footsteps.

I couldn't wait to throw my first Wonderland tea party!

Of course, there was the small problem that they sealed the portal back home.

Apparently, the Queen of Hearts lost a few cards from her deck

and became the Queen of Crazy.

Wonderland was declared too dangerous.

This made Princess Lizzie Hearts terribly upset, which is a shame.

Lizzie's really a sweetheart, even though she's awlays shouting "off with this" and

"off with that!"

Anyway, we all gathered in the Charmitorium for our Book to School assembly.

I always found the seats in the Charmitorium too uncomfortably rigid.

The royal students have comfy lounge thrones in the top-level balcony, but that's another

story.

I dug through my magic hat for a seat cushion when I saw something strange.

A dark room filled with spider webs.

I knew right away I was having a vision

It happens from time to time.

You see, the world is so crazy that I sometimes see through the madness and into the future.

It's relaly fun and exciting, especially since I never know when it's going to happen!

Unfortunately, nobody ever believes me for some reason.

Oh well.

Inside the dark room was a cracked mirror.

And not just any mirror.

The Magic mirror.

Silky fog started slipped out, when the mirror suddently looked right at me and spoke one

word.

Raven.

The vision suddenly ended and I was back in the Charmitorium.

I tried to tell Raven what I saw, but she just looked sad and confused.

Maybe the Headmaster gave his usual speech about embracing your destiny.

Or maybe I spokein Riddlish again.

You know about riddlish, right?

It's the riddle language of Wonderland.

I sometimes forget that non-Wonderlandians just hear it as mad babbling.

Chatper 2

Madeline Hatter!

Professor Rumpelstiltskin loudly squeaked my name.

I joined the tour gruop with my friends Cedar, Blondie and Kitty Cheshire.

Kitty is from Wonderland too.

She smiles all the time, even when she's annoyed, which seems to be all the time.

Despite what she might tell people, Kitty and I are great friends.

Oh godmother.

It's Maddie.

Tell me, can I ever rid myself of you?

I love her riddles!

Let's see

"rid myself"

Kitty vanishes when she gets bored.

Things that are "boring" are "dull".

And it's "of me".

She knows I love riddles.

That's it!

You rid dull with riddles.

I mean you riddle with riddles.

God one, Kitty.

At first she signed, but then perked up and scribbled on a piece of paper.

One more riddle for Maddie.

She gave me the drawing of monster smashing a town.

What's this worth to you?

Oh Kitty, That's too easy.

A picture is worth a thousand words and where's the best place to find words?

The library!

I dahsed to find the naswer as Kitty roared with laughter.

I'll show her!

She can't out riddle me!

Chapter 3

I love when the unexpected happens!

Like I expected the librarian to help, but all she did was "shush" me.

So I flipped through the Encyclopedia of Monsters, and History of Villages and the Beasts that

Destroyed Them.

But they were more disturbing than helpful.

Right when I was going to give up, I heard a knocking coming from the distance.

There was something familiar about it.

It wasn't a knock that said, "Hello, I'm at the door".

No it was more like "find me, if you can"

I love hide and go seek.

I also love knock knock jokes.

This was two goodies wrapped into one.

Just as I was about to start, the librarian kicked me out.

No problem.

See you tomorrow

I knocked back.

Chapter 4

The sign on my dorm door said Raven was my roommate.

Yay!

She's felt so cursed lately, I couldn't wait to cheer her up with an epic Maddie tea party!

I unpacked my best tea pots, and when Raven opened the door, she gleefully sang my name!

I gave her a big hug and bigger cup of tea, then asked about her day.

She rolled her eyes and puffed her cheeks.

While I was knocing around,she was on a tour with the other fairytale villains.

Apparently they worship that she's the next Evil Queen.

What a fairy fail.

But I know what makes Raven say "Hex yeah!"

She loves this Wonderland game called "If I didn't.

It's a rhyming game where you imagine how to turn something dully ordinary into something

else wonderfully extraordinary!

Raven started our game with, "If I didn't sleep in a bed..."

I imagined someplace soft and cozy to sleep.

I know!

I would nap in warm bread!

It was my turn.

I wanted something to make Raven smile.

Oh duh, of course!

If I didn't have to be the Evil Queen

Raven had trouble with this one.

Almost like she couldn't find the rhyme for Queen.

After a minute of thinking, she whispered, I don't know.

I wish I still lived with Raven.

Too bad Headmaster Grimm let Apple White switch dorms to be her new roommate.

Chapter 5

I awoke to the sound of knocking.

I knocked back "Ready or not, here I come!"

I followed the knocking back to the library.

This must be how Hansel and Gretel felt following the breadcrumbs!

When I went past the back office, I hit a wall.

But it was a secret door wall!

I knocked, "I found you, now let me in"

With a flash, I went from the school library to a maze filled with dusty old books.

The knocking was much louder in here.

Hallway after hallway, I twisted, wound and rounded,

until finally I walked into an office with books scattered all over, and a bearded man

knocking on his desk.

And imagine my surprise when he spoke Riddlish!

"Tapping two-ways trickle down, unto too fickle upside frown!"

Translation.

I'm so happy.

Someone finally heard my knocing call!

I grinned.

"White knight, sunshine; a place, a face, I have mine?"

Translation

Hello, what's your name?

"Atop a crown, a whistle, steam!

A book so sad but does not dream!"

Translation

Ah you must be the daughter of the Mad Hatter.

I'm the Master Library, Giles Grimm.

Librarian Grumm was cursed with a babble spell and locked in the Vault of Lost Tales.

Now he's searching for the spell to break the curse.

Then it dawned on me.

Raven knows about spells!

I told him, but he looked worried.

Most people do.

You'd think the daughter of the Evil Queen would be good at magic, but her spells usually

backfire.

That, and people assume she's mean just because of who her mom is.

"She's really nice"

I assured him.

She doesn't even want to be the Evil Queen.

Suddenly Library Grimm shot out of his chair and said that I must bring Raven to him.

He had something to tell her.

Chapter 6

I searched all over for Raven.

Finally, when there was nowhere else to look, I went back to the library and there she was!

What luck!

I tried to tell her what happened, but she couldn't understand.

Maybe I was speaking Riddlish again.

So I just took her to the Vault of Lost Tales.

When I brough her to Librarian Grimm, he slammed the book he was reading.

"Flipping flapjacks ripping rust!"

"Cutting corners dawn to dust!"

Translation

I'm frustrated

How long until I find the spell I need?

I approached him.

Horseshoes, clover, rabbit feet!

Feathred, friends, we share a seat!

Translation

Lucky for you, Raven and I are here to help you.

The next bit of Riddlish was a jumble.

But when he pointed at Raven, I'm pretty sure he meant,

Listen daughter of the Evil Queen.

Destiny is a myth.

If you pledge on Legacy Day to rewrite your own destiny, everyone will be free to choose

their own Happily Ever After.

Tea-riffic!

It's everything Raven always wanted!

She doesn't have to be the Evil Queen!

Nobody had to follow their parents' stories.

Not even me!

Wait a spell.

Not even me?

I love that I get to be the next Mad Hatter.

The tea parties

The riddle games

The fun with talking bunnies.

Oh well, I'll worry about that later.

Raven finally ha hope.

And right now, she needs a Happily Ever After.

Time is on my side.

There was a time when I wonderd if my destiny was right for me.

Every White Rabbit before me was so anxious about being late, but I never have been.

No matter what time I leave, I always show up on time.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

I never stress about being late.

After thinking about it, being The White Rabbit has nothing to do with the ticks on a pocketwatch.

It's about getting the Wonderland story started.

I used to love my role before the Evil Queen cursed Wonderland threatening all the fairytales

and magically locking every rabbit hole and looking glass gate from Wonderland to the

land of Ever After.

Although some of my friends escaped, I was left behind.

Eventually, a secret way into Ever After appeared.

Like I said, I think I'm just lucky I reunited with my friends,

However, I can't go back to Wonderland.

So I enrolled at Ever After High, where all fairytales learn to follow their destinies.

As for returning to Wonderland.

Well, I know that's only a matter of time.

chapter 1

Even though I was new to the school I was involved in hextracurricular activities.

I ran Track and Shield

played horn in the band and joined the Royal Student Council.

I was put on a committe with Briar Beauty, Justine Dancer and Hopper Croackington II

to plan the next big school party.

We could plan the biggest page ripper in history.

said Justin, daughter of the 12th dancing princess

But could someone wake up Briar?

Briar kept dozing off in her chair.

Hopper poofed into a frog and said,

"Alas, only true love's kiss may awaken Sleeping Beauty."

"Even asking her on a date would make me tongue-tied."

That gave me an idea for the party.

What if we flipped the script and the girls ask the boys to the dance?

I looked around, pleased with my inspired idea.

Then my throat went dry and my heart beat faster than a jackrabbit.

Waving to me through the door's windows was Alistair Wonderland.

Chapter 2

Alistair's destined to be the next hero of Wonderland, though he's always been a hero

in my book.

Maybe it's his sprakling blue eyes or his stunning but approachable smile.

Or it could be how his hair's always stylish but mussed.

Bit I think it's mainly because he's so brave and compassionate.

Okay, so I have a bit of a crush on Alistair.

From the first chapter we met I could feel this intense energy in the air.

The problem is he seems to see me as only a friend.

Like this one time, before the Evil Queen arrived in Wonderland.

Um Bunny

He said tossing his hair.

Are you doing anything this weekend?

My heart started beating faster.

No I'm not.

He's finally going to ask me out!

I thought.

Oh good, me neither!

he wiped his brow in relief.

Was he riddling me?

Why in Wonderland didn't he just ask me out?

I still haven't figured that one out.

Well, now the shoe was on the other rabbit's foot.

I was going to ask Alistair to the dance!

All I needed was the perfect opportunity.

Are you feeling all right, Bunny?

Alistair asked.

Huh?

I looked up into those sparkling eyes.

Just ask him!

I

What if he says no?

wondered

I'd never be able to look at hime again.

"do you"

"Do I...what?"

he leaned in.

"Do you like my shoes?"

Before he answered, I ran into the band room and slammed the door!

Ugh!

My destiny should be the white chiekn instead of the White Rabbit.

Chapter 3

Fortunately, I was first to arrive for practice.

Just enough time to tune up my trumpet and regain my composure.

I closed my eyes and started playing.

That's spellbinding, Bunny!

Melody Piper came in and got behind her DJ turntables and put on her headphones.

You'd think the daughter of the Pied Piper would play a pipe, but Melody was more at

home behind the decks.

Then the rest of the band showed up.

Raven Queen, Jillian Beanstalk, and Sparrow Hood.

Raven sat behind the piano.

She might be the daughter of the Evil Queen, but the only thing wicked about her was her

wicked talent.

I heard The Royal Student Council just announced something hexciting

She said.

Jullian plucked the strings on the golden harm given to her by her dad, Jack.

Something about a dance where girls ask guys to go, right?

All the girls better get in line-o.

sang Sparrow, shredding his guitar.

We all know who Raven's going to ask, said Melody, ignoring the son of Robin Hood.

Dexter Charming.

He's so under your spell.

We're just friends

Raven said.

Blushing.

Even if I did ask him, it'd be wicked nerve-wracking.

Yeah, I nervously chuckled.

Imagine how embarassing it would be if he said no.

You guys, it's not like you're running away from angry giants.

Chimes in Jillian.

Maybe she was right.

It was just a question, right?

That settled it!

I was going to ask Alistair to the dance

right after band practice.

chapter 4

Okay, so I didn't ask Alistair to the dance after practice.

Or after I finished my thronework.

Or any other time I saw him.

By lunchtime Wandsday, everyone was pairing up.

Apple White asked Daring charming.

Raven asked Dexter.

Melody even asked Sparrow, though I'm pretty sure it's because she felt bad that nobody

else asked him.

I'm going to do it!

I heard, as Ginger Breadhouse marched over to Hopper.

Hopper, you want to go to the dance with me?

Hopped changed into a frog.

I'd love to, sweet candy witch.

That might sound like an insult, but ginger just happens to be the next Candy Witch from

Hansel and Gretel.

Briar looked disappointed, I guess she wanted to go with Hopper.

I didn't want to wind up like Briar.

If I didn't ask Alistair out now, someone else would.

Um, Alistair, has anyone asked you to the dance?

He looked up from his Mirrorphone.

Weird, I just got a hex message asking the same thing.

I looked down at my pocketwatch.

Oh look at the time.

I'm going to be late for class.

Alirstair said something as I got up to leave, but I just had to hop out of there.

chapter 5

My feet moved, but I had no idea where I was going and I didn't care.

I just had to get away.

I ducked into a dark room, shut the door and started crying.

All the time we've spent together, and he never asked me out.

Why should I hexpect that he's want to go to the dance with me?

Still, I hoped he's had feelings for me.

Hello?

a girl's voice called.

"Is someone here?"

the lights went on, and CA Cupid stpped into the room.

Bunny, are you okay?

Sorry Cupid

I pulled out my harekerchief and dried my eyes.

Not at all!

Cupid smiled and helped me up.

I was just finishing my Mirrorcast.

I'd say you showed up in the right place at the right time.

She led me into her studio.

How can I help?

There's something so trustworthy about Cupid.

I opened up about how I've liked this boy for a long time now,

but wasn't sure he felt the same about me.

I sighed.

What if I ruin our friendship forever after?

That's a chance you take with love, she advised.

If he's worth it, take that chance.

It's too late, I said.

Someone else already asked him.

Did he say yes?

Cupid asked.

I thought back.

He never actually said he was going with anyone.

I've got to go.

Thanks, Cupid.

Chapter 6

Alistair was worth the chance, and I was going to take it.

I found him outside the Chemythstry lab.

I wanted to run, but instead I said, "Hey Alistairs."

He jumped a bit.

Bunny!

I didn't see you.

My heart started pounding.

Are you going to the dance with anyone?

He shrugged

No I'm not.

Oh good

I blurted.

I mean, I'm not going to the dance either.

I took a breath

Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?

Time stood still.

Every second passed like an eternity.

I wanted to take the words back.

I'd blown it.

No way he would want to go to a dance as...

Yes

he said.

I wanted to go with you.

I mean

I couldn't imaging going with anyone else.

My heart felt like it was floating.

I was feeling the same way.

Review of Exlinguo Novosibirsk Russian immersion course by Helen, UK (Summer 2018) - Duration: 2:31.

Hi I'm Helen and I've come here from Great Britain,

I was here for six weeks, from the middle of June to now, the end of July,

I would say that my time here was really beneficial

I really enjoyed it and it was absolutely worth coming.

When I arrived, my level I think was about B1,

I felt kind of confident before reading and vocabulary, but I know that I kind of

neglected my grammar so I felt that it would be really useful to revise and

also it was my first time in Russia so I was a bit nervous I didn't really know

what to expect but I'm really pleased that I came, it was very nice to spend time here

at the centre of Novosibirsk, I would say that all the staff here, all teachers

are very approachable, very friendly and I think they always did her best to make

their lessons, to make them enjoyable, interesting and I think

there was always a good atmosphere in the class so we learned quite easily,

it was just a lot of fun, I also think it was really good to be at the activities on offer for us,

I was able to go to the Altai for a weekend which was

a really unique opportunity, I'm really glad I went,

just in general it was nice just to have the chance to go and visit some sites here,

to go to the ballet, have presentations on aspects of Russian culture,

so I would say it was a really helpful, and we all spoke in Russian together,

I'm really pleased at the end of six weeks I really feel that I have improved and

that I now feel more confident and I feel motivated to go back home and

continue studying Russian so I would say a big thank you to everyone here,

it's a really nice time and I would highly recommend a course here

to anyone wishing to improve your Russian and I would come back to Russia someday,

thank you very much
