That's exactly my point.

That's right. But I think that the author of this thread meant that there are too many Russians on this forum who want to learn English but give very little help to those who learn Russian. I'd guess that the ultimate goal of this forum is to help Russian learners improve their command of Russian. Therefore, Siriusly is partly right in saying that something should be done to give more practice to Russian learners. But then it'll all up to you, Russian learners! Nothing stops you from posting in Russian, does it? As for Russian native speakers posting a lot in English, I think that the dominance of English in this forum is not the case here. There are hundreds of heated discussions in Russian on the forum. Everyone could gain a lot from them.

Несмотря на то, что форум называется 'MasterRussian', русские тоже могут упражняться в английском языке здесь...

К тому же, люди склонны стараться общаться как легче можно, и поскольку большинство русских говорят на английском естественнее, чем мы на русском, следует, что разговоры часто переключают на английский.

Umm, not trying to sound paranoid or insecure... I congratulate Siriusly with his first post in Russian (and I am dead "sirius" )

I think that the Russians have been very helpful to the Russian learners here. This is the best forum on the internet. Thanks. .......... So there!

I'm with you here. Nowadays hardly any of your posts here are in anything other than Russian. That's very good. You seem to be getting along with your Russian very well indeed!

Ramil, we are trying to be still helpful to those in need!
