OMG the same meaning as it used Jenice in series Friends 🙂

I've heard this phrase several times and don't understand its meaning. Could you help me please? What does this phrase "bozhe moi" mean? How to translate it into English?

What is the meaning of "bozhe moi"?

Literally "oh my God"
It is used when a Russian is surprised) 

Hello 🤗
That  phrase means “Oh my God”. 

Oh when Russians are surprised, excited, tired, happy, sad etc. they use this phrase 😄 
Literally this universal phrase means "Oh my God!"

My collegues here are right. It's "oh my god"

It means Oh gosh - Oh my god, oh my lord, it can't be a swear word in any case, maybe in some different country only. In Russia it's Oh my god

Боже мой! - Oh my God! 
It can be used in a positive or not-so-positive context  :)

I’m from Serbia, from the capital city named Belgrade.   I studied English since primary school and I went to private school where I also studied English language to get my diploma for it. I studied English for about seven years there, and also worked as English tutor for a few months as part of my exam. I also like to read books, write novels, photograpy and painting.

Intro jevtic-isidora-1995

I worked as an English teacher for a few months, that was a part of my English exam. I was teaching kids English from age of 11 to 15 in primary schools. I also work as law trainee.

I love being a tutor because of a fact that I can help people develop their skills and accomplish their further goals. As for my lessons and teaching style I always love to show knowlege of what the lesson is about, and demonstrate and include activities.

I am a certified ESL teacher. And also a law student, currently working on my bachelor degree.

I am passionate about languages. Russian as well as Ukrainian are my native languages. But I also speak English, German, French, Spanish and Polish, so I know what it is like to learn them. 

My lessons are very casual and have no teaching structure.
I'm offering you the opportunity to converse with a native speaker.

In my classes, I primarily offer speaking practice, where 70% of the time the student will be expected to speak, since speaking is the main goal of language learning. We will be able to discuss various topics. Besides languages, I enjoy topics related to travel, culture, economics, history, environment, geopolitics, and of course, food :)

If you have any questions, feel free to message me, so we could discuss your goals and expectations.

I look forward to hearing from you.
See you in my class! :)

Я несколько месяцев преподаю русский как иностранный , провожу  разговорные клубы и лекции по русскому языку онлайн. Обучаю с нуля, но и помогаю улучшить уровень продвинутым ученикам. Занимаюсь с билингвальными детьми из Америки и Франции.

Моя преподавательница по русскому как иностранному из университета со мной всегда на связи, я обращаюсь к ней, если у меня не получается понятно объяснить какую-либо тему.

На первом уроке мы поставим цели, решим, сколько раз в неделю будем заниматься и выберем самые подходящие для тебя виды заданий: кому-то нужно смотреть фильмы, а кто-то хочет прорешивать задания на грамматику. Я найду подход к каждому. А ещё прямо на первом занятии ты будешь говорить по-русски, даже если до этого ты никогда этого не делал!

Что касается занятий с детьми - всё пройдёт очень весело! Мы будем много играть в словесные игры. После моих занятий ученицы часто рисуют сказки, которые мы с ними придумываем для закрепления темы :)

My name is Daria, I am a student, I study in the specialty "domestic philology", that is, I study the Russian language and Russian literature.
I speak English and Czech. Multifaceted personality. I can speak both about art and literature, and about physics.

Hobbies: I dance social dances (salsa, bachata and kizomba), I perform stand-up in Russian and English, I keep a small blog.

I have been teaching Russian as a foreign language for several months, holding conversation clubs and lectures in Russian online. I teach from scratch, but also help to improve the level of advanced students. I work with bilingual children from America and France.

My teacher of Russian as a foreign language from the university is always in touch with me, I turn to her if I cannot explain any topic clearly.

In the first lesson, we will set goals, decide how many times a week we will study and choose the most suitable types of tasks for you: someone needs to watch movies, and someone wants to solve grammar tasks. I will find an approach to everyone. And right at the first lesson you will speak Russian, even if you have never done it before!

As for activities with children - everything will be very fun! We will play a lot of word games. After my classes, students often draw fairy tales that we invent with them to reinforce the theme :)

Привет! Меня зовут Ирина я родилась и выросла в Литве, но вот уже более тридцати лет живу и работаю в России, в прекрасном городе Санкт-Петербурге. По образованию я библиограф, но мне довелось поработать в сфере туризма, в книготорговом бизнесе, в школе. У меня две больших собаки и трое взрослых детей. В моем городе часто проходят значимые культурные и политические события, поэтому нам не сложно будет найти тему для разговорной практики. 

Hi! I am Irina. Thank you for researching my page. Russian is my native language, all the members of my family always were speaking Russian despite the fact I was born in Lithuania (Unfortunately Lithuanian for me is a foreign language). I live and work in Russia, Saint-Petersburg but also I used to live in Siberia. I am certain we will find the topics for some conversational practice easily because I have a wide range of interests and I’m a good listener and have lots of questions which help you overcome the language barrier.

Intro IrinaPB

Более пяти лет я работаю репетитором и очень люблю это занятие.
If you have just started to learn Russian I gess you will need some help and explanations in your native language or language you know better than Russian, so we can switch to English or French.
J'apprend Français il n'y  a pas long temp mais je pense que je peux m'exprimer assez bien.

Мне нравится составлять уроки для каждого студента индивидуально, т.к. собирать и классифицировать информацию - это мой особый интерес. На уроках я использую аудио, видео и файлы для чтения, с помощью которых мы отрабатываем навыки письма, чтения, произношения и разговорной речи.
For begginers I offer some study books and training internet resources. I am very patient and like to answer the questions.

Hey! My name is Irina, I was born and raised in Lithuania, but for more than thirty years I have been living and working in Russia, in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg. I am a bibliographer by education, but I had a chance to work in the field of tourism, in the bookselling business, at school. I have two large dogs and three adult children. Significant cultural and political events often take place in my city, so it will not be difficult for us to find a topic for speaking practice.

I like to make lessons for each student individually, because collecting and classifying information is my special interest. In the lessons I use audio, video and reading files, with which we practice writing, reading, pronunciation and speaking.

Hey, I’m Maksim, a Russian Language Teacher! 
Since I have experience of learning and teaching languages, I’d like to help you with Russian, it's my first language!

If you have been learning Russian long enough to understand the basics, then you might feel a bit overwhelmed and bored with this language, is it so?

All those strange grammar rules seem to be absolutely frustrating, especially for people unfamiliar with Slavic languages.

However, I can tell you some good news.

Even though this language is not easy, you’re not fated to learn it with boring grammar sheets, textbooks, and dictionaries.

The process of learning a foreign language might be incredibly interesting and addictive. As soon as you stop “learning” Russian and start living in it, everything falls into place. And that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you - use Russian on a day-to-day basis.
(I speak Russian, English and French)
