Hello, I'm Evgenia. Russian is my native language and I think that I could help someone to study it. I know English, but I make awful mistakes, so I need help. I want to find a friend to chat with using ICQ or email.
I'm writing for the first time and even don't know what I must say after this...
Waiting for your reply! :)
Oh, we could help each other! I think, it's better to speak more not to be shy later trying to express your opinion in English... Are you interested in talking with a girl from Russia in English? If it's ok for you, I'll write you to your ICQ number. Thanks!
Add it 447896767
I wait.
I've add it :)

Hello, Liatheva/Evgenia, and all other people who wish help with English. I will be happy to help you with English. Send me a pm or reply.
No it is not fair enough. Not even slightly fair.Quote:

Agreed. Also, though I'm fairly sure you now recognise the errors, nikitaRUS:

This is how people get scared away from this forum. You all look like a bunch of silly-nannies.
Oh yeah, sure, you always know better.Quote:

And most of those weren't typos. Stop cheating. :spiteful:
Deign? wtf is that even supposed to mean? I don't correct your Russian. Don't correct my English.Quote:

Correct/Corrects, who the hell cares? Главное что дргу дргуа понимаем... But one everyone tries to one-up everyone else with their 'grammar knowledge' or whatever you want to call it, it kills the conversation pretty quick.
Thats why no one liked Olga, (Mean comment. Deleted. L.)
I do.Quote:

For just talking to people I'd prefer to call my friends, grab a couple of boxes of beer and throw a crazy binge instead of wearing the keyboard out. :beer:
Yep. And everyone got that a native English speaker says "Everyone correct ..." as well. They will repeat your typo as a mistake in future.Quote:

P.S. Deign is like "do something as a great favour"
I'd say it has a slightly negative connotation since it connotes that you are doing someone a big favour even though you might consider it to be beneath you. A synonym would be "to condescend to do something". It suggests you might well be reluctant to do that favour.Quote:

Have to disagree with you on your Olga comment. I liked her. She was a big help in my Russian learning. I miss her here and hope that she comes back.Quote:

I forgot one S on one word. I didn't even forget it my fingers didn't press one letter and now that somehow contributes to Russians learning English wrong?
How is that even a valid argument? I'm pretty sure when I was learning Russian and I read that the ending for ты is ишь and I was like, OK, I got it. If some Russian was typing on a forum and typed говориш instead of говоришь on accident it wouldn't have ruined my entire Russian language learning experience. I guess I would have been like, hey, a typo, and not try to correct someone who's language I didn't even have the ability to speak fluently. Don't correct my English unless you can speak it like a native. I don't correct your Russian.
Lampada, you have the right to correct my English (IF you deem it necessary, and if typos bother you that much, ok that is your right as a moderator) because you speak English, but still, I would never correct your Russian, because I know that you know how to speak it.
Believe me, I know how to speak English, I don't need anyone's help.
Thanks.
So, you want help with English? Forget the word deign. No one ever uses this, ever.
You're welcome.
Like when she told a beginner he was too stupid to learn Russian because he couldn't decline huge numbers during his like second week ever or studying Russian? Oh yeah, such a nice gal.Quote:

That word is so uncommon even google tries to correct your spelling when you type it.

Seriously, try it...

For instance you're reading a book and this word jumps at you, what are you gonna do then? Look it up? Looking words up all the time while reading is retarded, besides it can turn you off a good insightful book in a jiffy.
@ Learners: the word deign is awesome, disregard Mr Dogboy's comment about it. If he chooses the path of ignorance in his life, it's his right, different strokes for different folks. Knock yourself out, Dogboy, we won't insist you learn it!
It doesn't mean in any way you, learners, have to make the same choice. Over-achievement should not be shunned, go that extra mile and learn all about deign. Maybe it will come in handy some day. You're better off with knowing "deign".
The beauty of English is in its abundance of words, it has set a record for the biggest vocab. No language can beat it.
I guess after such a hot discussion everyone on the forum knows this word anyway, and won't forget it for the rest of their lives. Even Dogboy. :wink:Quote:

Anyways, moving on!
Answer what? You didn't even ask a question... You don't have a case or a point. There's not even anything to move on from.Quote:

By all means, learn the word. Just use it with extreme caution. There, are we all happy now? Moving on...
Hehe, I don't need to learn it, I learned it when I was like all of 14 years old, at school, while doing my reading assignments. And believe me I don't need your instructions on how cautiously I should use it. I know all of its usage, all I need to know. Of course I know not to use it in a bar when ordering a shot of martini.
I know a whole slew of words, sometimes people even ask me "what's that word you just used mean?". which I take as a compliment of course. I'm very proud of my accomplishment. Broadening my horizons word-wise has always been on my agenda.
but i don't think we're on the same wavelength, so I just shut up.
Considering I taught myself Russian, I'm not really worried about my word arsenal either. But good job though!
I bet if I stuck with one language I'd probably be pretty good at it too. Now I just mumble in two...
