Привет всем!
Приглашаю к переписке всех изучающих русский язык. Была бы очень благодарна, если бы нашелся кто-нибудь (желательно носитель языка), желающий помочь мне с английским.
Мой e-mail: firina555@mail.ru
Заранее спасибо всем откликнувшимся. [/b]
А не логичнее было написать на английском? :)
This post in Russian means a female user is looking for a preferably native English speaker to help her with English, might be a beginner, no word in English was probably intentional to see if you can understand Russian.Quote:

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, call things by their proper names! If you want a penpal, write that you want a penpal, not friend. Do you really think you'll find a friend in this way?!
Well, sometimes people want the kind of friends you can't find in your local neighborhood!
I found my local russian friends through here!
If you didn't see your friend, he or she isn't your friend. If you saw your friend, he or she isn't your penpal. It's my position. :)Quote:

Pranki, you're wicked. I not wrote 'friend". I wrote "друг". The word "друг" is used in Russian both as near man and penpal or e-pal (друг по переписке). You're Russian and you must know this.
And I'm not blonde.

If I offended you, forgive me please, I didn't want! It's just a prankish nature :lol:
I met a few my real (not virtual) friends in the net as well. I mean I met them in the net first and only after that I met them in real life. I didn't intentionally look for real friends though, it just turned out they became my real friends.
I don't bother to look for friends, since I have realised that I am so obnoxious.
You can seek friends through pen-palling. It just means that sooner or later you are gonna meet. I agree that you need to meet to be friends, but pen-palling (if that is a verb) could be the first step towards friendship.
i.e. The headline is correct :wink:
Whether she meant it like that is another thing! :)
kalinka_vinnie, yeah you can look for friends but if you really want to find a friend or even a penpal friend, give some personal information about yourself first, like your age, interests, what you like and dislike etc. You're the one who needs a friend, so you have to arouse interest in yourself. Why should potential friends waste their time to write you back to find out that information? So I think writing only "Hey, I'm a cool girl/guy, I'm looking for friends. Write me!" is just stupid.
net surfer's quite unbiassed, and I think it's the properest time to stop flooding here.
