My native language is English, although I also can read, and write Latin. I have a basic grasp of the Cyrillic Alphabet, and know the slightest modicum of Russian. My Skype is Rhodesia_Udi
You may also reach me by MSN which I am always on, even when I'm not..lol Find my MSN in my profile, or Private message me. My ultimate goal is to gain the ability to speak, and read Russian fluently. I will offer any assistance with English, as I went through Advanced Placement English, and Hounours English back in secondary school.

Your native language is not Russian. Being born in Russia and having Russian as a native language are different things. Native language is a language in which you think and which you spoke from childhood. Someone who hardly knows Russian can't say it's his native language.
