Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all.
First of all, I'd like to say this forum is a great site. Though being primarily about Russian language, it is extremely useful for learning English too. I've spent several hours reading discussions on various grammar topics here and found a lot of helpful information for myself.
My name is Vadim. I am Russian and I live in Siberia. I am a software developer, so my English experience is mostly about "how to fix this and how to implement that".
When I studied at an university, I was fond of English. There was no internet available at the time, so that was an "academic interest" only without any chance to get live English experience. Being a software developer now I speak English almost every day, but the problem is that in such specific area the language is something like a geek slang, not proper American or British English.
So I'm interested in communicating with native English speakers on any topics to advance my language skills. Hope I can be helpful for your studying of Russian as well.
I'm interested in other languages too. Specifically, Turkish, German and constructed language Lojban. Though for now I am not able to spend much time on them. Hopefully, I'll deal with them in the future.
