Мыс Брюса
  [mys bru-sa]

Does it look like a Scandinavian landscape? No, it's Russia!

🔻Cape Bruce is one of the most picturesque places in Primorye, the Far East region of Russia.

🔻Precipitous cliffs are mostly vertical walls of basalt columns standing side by side like pencils in a glass.

🔻Above the tip of the cape, on a hill, there is the Bruce Lighthouse. Since 1911, the lighthouse has shown the way to seafarers.

🔻The name Cape Bruce appeared on Russian maps in 1865.

🔻According to one of the  versions, the cape was named in honour of Peter the First’s supporter Yakov Vilimovich Bruce - however, he also had Scottish rather than Russian roots and a different name at birth - James Daniel.

👋Доброе утро, мои товарищи!

Зевать (imperfective)
  [zi-vat']
  To yawn

💢 But if you add prefix ПРО- to the verb зевать, it will change its meaning:

Прозевать (perfective)
  [pra-zi-vat']
  To miss, to sleep away

Не прозевай свою остановку, дружище!
[ne pra-zi-vay sva-yu as-ta-nof-ku, dru-zhi-shche]
🇬🇧 Don't miss your bus stop, buddy!

Also:

Зевнуть (perfective)
   [ziv-nut']
   1) To give a yawn
   2) To miss, not to notice something, to be mistaken

• Я зевнул ферзя и проиграл.
[ya ziv-nul fir-zya i pra-ig-ral]
🇬🇧 I blundered my queen and lost (chess).

🎧🗣👇

Listen, practice your pronunciation, send a voice message and не прозевайте воскресенье! Hugs!

Cиний чулок
  [si-niy chu-lok]

SLT: A blue stocking

Meaning:
А mocking nickname for an educated woman, devoid of charm and completely absorbed in bookish interests.

Origin:
The expression was born in England in the 18th century in the salon of writer Mary Wortley Montagu. The soul of this salon was the scientist Benjamin Stellingfleet, who wore blue stockings with his black dress. The ladies nicknamed the absent-minded scientist “blue stocking”. Soon this nickname began to apply to all participants in this circle, where conversations were held on scientific and literary topics.

Не будь синим чулком! Сходи куда-нибудь вечером!
[ni but' si-nim chul-kom! skha-di ku-da-ni-but' ve-che-ram]
🇬🇧 Don't be a bluestocking! Go out tonight!
