Prepare the list of your questions and call me on skype: emaslova after 9 pm when I am online. Write me first that it is you otherwise I won't take your call.
AntoMax, you may call me as well but prepare your questions in advance.

could someone please also tell me how to say colours ie:

This paint is yellow
The sky is blue, not a cloud in sight.
As white as snow
Look at the green grass in that field
Red blood stains everywhere
This grey sky promisses rain soon

Also what is the diference between "gareche" and "toploca" and how do you say piping hot water?

"holdna" is cold but how do you say freezing cold?

As I undrstand and его are pronounced the same and also mean the same as нeё. Could you please tell me in which context one is used rather than others?

её - hers;
его - his;
неё - the same as её, with additional "n", like "a person" and "an interpreter" - for instance, без неё = without her.
