Offering help :-)

To all Russian speakers learning English. Im a native English speaker willing to give help for whatever you need. If you wish on learning a whole new "part" of the language for example: How to order food in a restaurant, then I am open. Just post what you need right here :-)

Though there is one drawback, I dont speak Russian ¬_¬

So I will give you "advanced" tutoring for English.

And feel free to post your posts in Russian, as I have a translator at the ready.

Welcome, Satsuma!

Are you offering "advanced" English tutoring free?... or for pay? There is a difference for forum rules.

And my Russian is not good, so no worries. My second language is actually Spanish, and Russian is my third. :lol:

What is your English dialect?... Canadian, U.K., Australian, American, Scottish, Irish? Some of our members want to learn a particular dialect... others want to learn 'general'/conversational English.

Also, in tutoring for "advanced" English... can you tutor technical, business, engineering, legal, or scientific English?

The forum is very informal... people ask what they need help with... and our "Band of English-speaking brothers" try to help.

Our "Big Brother/Sister" is MasterAdmin. S/he's excellent. (Sorry MasterAdmin... I've never asked whether you're a girl or guy. :lol: )

Welcome aboard! :)

Hehe ok. I am from England so I use the UK dialect which is what everyone should use as it is what I call "native" English.

I will offer this all for free.

And yeah I can teach you anything you want, buisness, ANYTHING you need to know.

Again, welcome aboard. :)

Let me guess. You must raise you hand and shout: "garson!". Right?

Ordering food:

Извините меня кельнер, смогите я пожалуйста иметь = Excuse me waiter may I please have (Now list what you want to eat)

И для пустыни = And for desert (List the desert you want)

Extra's:

Еда была симпатична = The food was lovely

Еда не была моего стандарта = The food was not of my standard

Now that is very basic food ordering.

Advanced:

В мою еду можете вы принять вне = In my meal can you take out the (List what you want taken out)

Все гайки в еде? Im аллергическое = Is there any nuts in the meal? Im allergic (I used nuts as an example as it is very common but you replace it with whatever your asking.

Будет вся из этой цены? = How much will all of this cost?

There you go. That should get you exactly what you want in an English restaurant and maybe more : )

I'd advice you not to use this. It translays you English phrases into nonsense. For example "desert" it translated like "пустыня" (a hot place with camels and a lot of sand) :lol: The right word is "десерт".

It's WYSIWYG. Desert means desert, and dessert means dessert.

All translations are funny:-). My favorite, Все гайки в еде? Im аллергическое = Is there any nuts in the meal? Im allergic (I used nuts as an example as it is very common but you replace it with whatever your asking.

I may be allergic to "орехи" but "гайки" in my food really scare me :twisted:

We are not laughing at you... You meant well... Find a better translator, or/and translate every word separately before you compose a sentence, and see if it makes sense... Cheers.

Satsuma, it's not a request.:wink: I'm just giving an example of how awful this "Babel Fish" is.

Грешен, позволял себе смеяться над переводами ПРОМТа. Но то, что вытворяет "Babel Fish" - даже не смешно.

To all Russian speakers learning English.
К всем русским дикторам учя английскую язык. - Babel Fish
Всем российским спикерам, изучающим английский язык. - PROMT

Почувствуйте разницу.

I can suggest free PROMT at www.translation.paralank.net... I know, I know, but short of professional or military translation... it is also an elementary/intermediate translator. It is NOT a perfect translator... but I hope is better than trying to fumble for hours through a pocket dictionary with a beautiful... or handsome date. (I'm expecting VM to complain :lol: ) ... but I think it is a good simple translation service, for beginning communications.

There are much better translation services, but they are paid for, so...

Also a few people voluntarily help as expert English and Russian linguists and teachers/professors...

Оля... she is an excellent teacher and corrector of Russian. There are many others... but I bow to Оля, and I listen to her. She has earned my respect as a teacher. :) And there are several English-speakers who will assist with translations, here. All of us often try to work together as a team, using multiple forum entries.

Satsuma, so, jump into battle/teaching! :wink:

(...and I'm only the janitor... but we'll have fun and learn here. :wink:)
