Away with the faries - probably an English saying that came to New Zealand with British settlers.


...in Spanish means "to be absent-minded, dreamy, unaware of reality", "to have one's head in the clouds". Do you know an alternative expression in your country that means the same?

The Spanish expression "estar en las nubes"...

Hi 


In Italian language we say :
"Avere la testa tra le nuvole " similar to English to have one's head in the clouds

Best Regards 



In the Russian language, it sounds : "летать в облаках" This expression has the same meaning as it was mentioned above.

I have graduated from Pedagogical University. I've taught Ukrainian language in both Secondary and High School settings. I'm experienced in teaching English online.

In my lessons, I use a personal approach to each student. I combine different methods, which help to learn the Ukrainian and the English languages easy. I make my lessons attractive and understandable to anyone. Furthermore, I help adults, teenagers and children, who have an elementary level of English or don't speak English at all. In our classes we will speak a lot, we will do different exercises, learn new vocabulary, which you need in your daily life, we will work on how to improve the writing part, we will learn grammar. I will help you to learn the Cyrillic alphabet in the Ukrainian language. You get acquainted not only with the Ukrainian language itself but also you will discover plenty of attractive things about Ukrainian culture and traditions. 
Language is a powerful tool, which connects us to our history, cultural heritage and each other.
Together, we achieve your set goals ! Let’s embark on this exciting journey! 
I hope to see you soon! Take care!
