I am Dimas.

Hello.
My name is Dmitry. My friends call me Dimas. I study English. I’ve already been studying English for one month. And so my English is primitive (I hope this is not for a long time). I am Russian. I am 26.

Приветствую.
Меня зовут Дмитрий, но это слишком официально, поэтому мне больше нравится «Дима» или «Димас». Вот уже целый месяц я изучаю Английский. Это было спонтанное решение, которое возникло у меня после того, как я случайно забрел на этот сайт. Увидев людей изучающих русский язык не жалея своих сил я, вдруг, увидел свою жизнь скучной и неполноценной. Теперь я открываю для себя новый мир. Семь предложений на английском языке в начале этого поста– это мой первый неуверенный шаг по этому миру. Черт! Это так сложно!
Мне не хотелось бы просить у вас помощи или навязывать свою. Я хочу просто общаться с человеком который понимает, как мне трудно и который готов терпеть мой английский.
Мой почтовый ящик: nikton(собака)mail(точка)ru
Если вдруг кто-то соберется написать, то вставьте пожалуйста в заголовок слово masterrussian, иначе письмо может не пройти.
Спасибо за внимание.

:o :)
Well Dima though I'm just Russian anyway I'm amazed! Everything you wrote seems to be grammatically correct which is a great progress for a beginner who has been studing a language only for a month! Keep up the good work! :wink:

Yesterday I played one thing. I put it in my head and I turned it. Why did I turn it? I looked it over. Why did I look it over? There are two things in this story. I looked for second thing what hid in the first thing what I turned. I found the hidden thing. It is “Yes, I do. Excuse me for my English!”. The first thing is “Dima, do you really think what you have something to tell to English-speaking peoples?”.

“thing”. Yeah, I like this word! This is universal word. I can use this word for describing any thing. It is the thing for a thing! Ho-ho!

Do you understand anything in this post?

Приветствую тебя, kalinka_vinnie!
Спасибо за поправки – это было мило с твоей стороны. Скажи, если я буду продолжать писать Мир с большой буквы, когда я хочу показать глобальный контекст, меня все равно будут считать неграмотным? Все что я налабал в непонятном для тебя посте есть стеб. Видишь ли, когда изучаешь язык, то непременно хочется говорить на нем, а когда говорить не с кем, то начинаешь говорить сам с собой. Пару мыслей о Красоте и безобразии (принципиально с маленькой буквы) я запечатал в топорную форму и был очень доволен собой, ибо месяц назад подобное мне могло только присниться. Да, именно так, если уж я придумываю себе предложения для упражнений, то они точно не про погоду за окном – я стараюсь придумывать только то, что мне интересно придумывать. Вот и все. Жаль, что все равно ничего не смог разъяснить, ну и пофиг! Непонятные вещи несут в себе больше очарования. Хо-хо!

О, этот стандартный риторический вопрос имеет у меня не менее стандартный риторический ответ: я беру травку там, где и тебе советую – нигде!

Your english is excellent. And I did actually understand this! Not your typical english paragraph. But very poetic!!! And in a poetic way, it made perfect sense. I hope you're still around the forum and see this post. Very, very good. I only wish I could pick up Russian as fast as you seem to have mastered English. By the way, I am English Canadian from Toronto.

Yes, your English is very poetic, but not widely understandable. I estimate 1 out of every 4 people could interpret your post in the correct context. However, for one month, you're doing quite well. Remember, context is everything.

Yes, I agree, context is important. Yet –

I disagree that only 1 in 4 English speakers would understand this. Their interpretation may differ slightly. But I easily see what Dima meant. I only wish he was still here to confirm as his post is over 1 year old.

An English person would say:

“Yesterday I thought to myself, ‘Dima, do you really think you have something to tell English speaking people?’

After thinking very hard about it, and looking at it from every angle, I found the answer that had been alluding me: ‘Yes, I do! Pardon my English.’”

I still like how Dima wrote it though. As I said before, it seems so much more poetic.

I am discovering that English when translated, translates poorly. A phrase that may be absolutely friendly and polite in English can seem rude when translated into Russian. I’m working on it. We Canadians hate to seem rude :oops:

When writing to my new penpal, I started to use a phrase of thanks. When I translated it to Russian, then from Russian back to English to double check it – well, it seemed arrogant and assuming. Eek! I only wish English could translate as poetically as Russian. It would make my learning process so much easier I think.
