Thread: Hello to all from Southern Russia =)

Hi Marina, welcome to the forum. I think your English is a little bit better than my Russian, but I will add you to my Skype. I have just stayed a 1.5 month in Belarus, and I finally feel brave enough to practice Russian on Skype.

PS - you should change the title of your message to ..... FROM Southern Russia (because that is where you live, right?)

Also, you should say "I have studied English for six months". Teach means that you are a teacher of English. I have problems saying this in Russian myself, there are so many different prefixes to "учить"

А сейчас я попробую писать по-русски:
Привет Марина, и добро пожаловать в форуме. По моему ты чуть-чуть лучше говоришь по-английски, чем я по-русски! Я буду прибавлять тебя в Skype. Я только что осталась через месец половина в Беларусь, a теперь наконец я смею практиковаться на Skype... Раньше я не хотела.

Thanks for the correction! =) Just do not know how the title change = ( and add me on Skype, it will be useful and fun =)

If she said that way, I would think she considers her level enough to speak fluently. But I think (and I think it's obvious =) ) she doesn't. So, a better one would be "I've been studying English for six months."

And, Hanna, I'm pleasantly surprised at your speaking Russian here. I mean it's been quite rare, and I think you've definitely been making progress on your studies.
