When I saw your “seen” and “heard” I started laughing nervously. I even couldn’t believe my eyes. I’d known that for years, yet I put it that way. This is how things are about learning a language with some individuals.
I know what you mean. Some of the mistakes I make that you correct I can’t help but wonder how I made them. They seem so simple, like I wasn’t paying attention. As I’ve thought about what I’m doing, I think I don’t use the instrumental case enough, or as you seem to employ it.

Just because I think that an average man is cleverer than an average woman. Didn’t you know?
The great majority of the scientists and writers have been males, btw.
That’s so funny to read that from you…lol. Many feminists in this country would have a cow if they read that from you (in case you don’t’ know, that phrase “have a cow” means to get very upset). Myself, I notice that women seem to write about the feelings of characters in their work more so than men. Women can be more descriptive, perhaps.

It seems to me that cognitive goes with such words as abilities, when we speak about conscious intellectual activity. I'm afraid I cannot say a cognitive book.
You’re correct, that wouldn’t be right to say. But it is a good word to know, don’t you think?

But along with this I can hardly speak. It takes me a huge amount of time to find the proper word. I'm continuously like, "Umm... Ehh ... Umm" The speaking part of my brain must be turned off, I guess
I certainly can relate. This idea about Skyping…it’s not that I’m shy or anything, I’m just afraid that I need to learn a little bit more before I jump into it. I don’t mind helping you with the English, though. Maybe we should Skype just so I can do that for you. You wouldn’t have to feel self-conscious. I wouldn’t mind how little you could say. I just wouldn’t be able to help you out in Russian…lol.

So did you want to split our letters up? Keep one in all English, and one in Russian? I noticed that you had done that, and just thought it was what you preferred. Let me know. - - Well, Mondays are definitely not my favorite day. It’s hard to get going after the weekend. I watched that movie Chronicle. It must have cost them a lot of money to make, but it didn’t have a real complicated plot. The ending was not the best.
Well, our election is tomorrow. I can’t wait to find out who will win. I usually vote by mail these days, so I sent my vote in several days ago. It seems all we do anymore these days is fight back and forth. Nobody wants to be the loser. It’s sad, and all we do is suffer for it.
