Name's Dave.

I am a 19 year old bloke hailing from the south-west of England. A couple of months ago I became bored with my own language and decided it was high time I learned another; for some odd reason, I picked Russian. Everyone around me reckons I'm mental because of it

I joined this forum to help people with their English and to get help with my Russian. I don't know much - very limited grammar, very limited vocabulary - and so will welcome any and all corrections directed my way. I do consider myself fairly proficient at the English language, however, and will gladly take any and every chance to try to correct something or to try to answer a question.

Right, now to attempt some Russian without looking at a textbook...

Здравствуйте. Меня зовут Дэйв (probably). Мне 19... something? Я живу в Англии. Я изучаю русский язык. Я хорошо говорю по-английски, но я не хорошо говорю по-русски.

Good lord. HELP!
