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!

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 :cry:

I am 28, single
Interests: reading, biology, psychology, alpine skiing

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.
