LANGUAGE LESSONS - DUTCH
"Advanced Dutch" (see picture)

and also:

What to call the 2nd column... the kinda of translated writing? :)

Oh yeah I found another word perhaps semantics (relating to the meaning) but sounds like negative thing to me like pedantic (trivial because of narrow focus maybe)

I got the idea for the word from this post (and text right after)

qoto.org/@sptnkmmnt/1087290682

I did not practice in English for years.

So I do not "feel" this language any more. When I wanna say something, I do direct translation from Russian into English.

With Russian phrase semantic, Russian ideomatic phrases and even proverbs.

Need to go deeper into English-speaking surround.

@freeschool Thanks, that is wery interesting. Many languages have got this kind of "insider knowledge" that foreigners never get quite right (sometimes there are regional differences inside the same language, even).
The second column is the "meaning", isn't it?
