Thread: looking for English-speaking friends

Hi!
I'm new on this forum. I'm looking for English-speaking friends who wants to study Russian or Ukrainian and helps me to study English.

Prevyet Tavarish,

My name is George (Georgy) and I emigrated from Russia to the US in 1989. I speak fluent English and quite a bit of Russian, although my accent is bad. I also have some trouble reading Russian: I can read print OK but I never learned script. Basically my knowledge of Russian comes from living with my grandmother for years. The side effect of this is that my vocabulary is limited to things you might say to your babushka.

I am currently a law student and will be an attorney next year. I have two goals: First, and foremost, I would like to learn some more advanced Russian vocabulary so I can talk about business and legal topics with potential clients. I would also like to improve my accent. I don't think this will be hard since I had no accent when I was younger and lived at home. Second, I would like to learn to read print better and faster and maybe also pick up some script so I can write letters to my babushka.

Let me know what your goals are for English and maybe we can help each other.
