    English (?) / Russian (me)

    Hi there,

    nice to join such interesting forum!

    Guys, I need an E-pal - I need someone who would correct my English.

    I've been in US for 2 years, and do start speaking better (yes, I am slow ), still have to admit that I need something more efficient than just watching TV...

    I would like to write an email in English, and get a reply with corrections + a letter from E-pal. Then I would send it back with corrections (if needed, and if that letter would be written in Russian ), aaand I would add also some new text in English. (Am I understandable?)

    Please PM me, and I will send you my email.

    Best!
    me not speak English, correct my errors, pleez!

    Эх вы...

    OK,
    I have graduated in Moscow and came to US as a postdoc. I am doing research here.
    In my lab I don't talk too much - everyone is busy, including me. But problem is (for me) that making a correction, saying waht I said wrong or what word was used wrong - is extremely inpolite here

    I am 28, single
    Interests: reading, biology, psychology, alpine skiing
    me not speak English, correct my errors, pleez!

    Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.

    hi Matilda,
    I would not mind helping you with your english. I have other russian penpals I chat with in ICQ and MSN whom I help with their english. You can PM me if you like. I live in NY and have various hobbies/interests.

    How I wish, how i wish you were here. Were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. Year after Year. Running over the same ground, have we found, same old fear. Wish you were here.
