Thread: Looking for language exchange

I wanted to write some more, and practice.
Я хотел еще немного пописать и попрактиковаться.
It would be much better. My former version, being grammatically correct, doesn't sound good Russian.
Sound good Russian? I feel this doesn't sound good English, though.

My former version, being grammatically correct, doesn't sound (like) good Russian.

No, I don’t believe you’re overloading me with grammar, Lena. Your explanations are very helpful. You’re right about using logic to learn. I feel that sometimes I don’t use logic. I understand your thoughts about disappointment and difficulty. If we had learned when we were younger it may have been easier, but we are where we are! I just keep moving forward, and I think you have to do the same. Our practice makes us better people, I believe.

Нет Лена, я не поверить что вы мне перегрузились с грамматиками. Ваш обьяснения очень полезными. Вы правильно используете логику то, чтобы учиться. Я считаю, что иногда я не использую логику Я понимаю ваших мысли об разочарования и трудности. Если мы учились в своих молодости то, что следовало было бы легче, но зато мы точно здесь! Я же продолжаю направлять вперед и я думаю приходится так же вам. Наш практика нас делает лучше людей.

Would "doesn't sound Russian" be correct? I mean if I wanted to say it without the word "good". Or I should say "doesn't sound like Russian"?

Sure, "doesn't sound Russian" would be fine
