Hi! Does anyone want to communicate to a Russian?

**Vova** · February 25th, 2013, 06:01 AM

Hi every soul!

My name is Vova, 25 years old, live in Belarus

I know English at slow reading technical documentation and very slow and bad speaking level. Now I use google translator, so my suggestions may not be entirely accurate.

My goal - to learn to think in English, to freely communicate and read documentation and literature.

And I no hurry.

I perfectly know Russian, because a read a lot. Also I know Belarussian, my native language, but not good.

I would like to meet the person for whom English - native, and who would like to learn Russian, to talk to in a mixture of English-Russian, answer questions and ask your own. It is interesting to study live modern English, jargon, slang. I want to know what is the meaning of some of the songs "The Offsping", "Metallica", and others. On the other hand I can tell you a lot about the live Russian language, about abusive language, about synonyms, about words that almost always mean is not that in the dictionary and other, other... And now I'm interested in English at the same level

I very love Russian language. And it would be very interesting and nice to help someone learn this language

I am a programmer by profession, have some other interests - again, programming (microcontrollers), reading, listening to music. I'm good at chess. And just interest to live.

My email is "hortius@gmail.com", icq - 491140322, skype - "vovashumel".

Best regards, Shumel Vladimir.

I thought it was me who was picky

Friends sometimes call me "даебот". But here I did not want to be picky.
Просто у Valda в подписи просьба исправлять грамматику, да и глаз автоматически (по привычке) зацепился. (I can't translate this phrase to English with the precise transfer of the meaning).

Valda, I bring to you my sincere apologies. I do not mean to be picky here.

Just always picky so treat yourself. And sometimes involuntarily - to others.

In particular, I dream to read Terry Pratchett in the original, with understanding him subtlest humor

**Valda** · February 25th, 2013, 03:02 PM

Ничего, Вова. В общем ты прав, но у меня просто нет силы чтобы заново отредактировать мою подпись.

Кстати, никакой обиды, но я рекомендую что на данный момент тебе лучше переводить все что ты пишешь на английском к русскому, что я смогу узнать как тебя точно исправлять.

I'm not picky, but I will correct what bothers me.

In particular, I dream to read Terry Pratchett in the original, with understanding him subtlest humor

"In particular, I dream to read Terry Pratchett in the original, understanding the subtle humor (or "his subtle humor") "

Please fix and my mistakes

"and please fix my mistakes"

Never used.

" I never used it. "

Should be so:

"Should be" (с "so" это слишком формально)

Чтоб исправлять ваш оригинальный текст, мне нужна его версия на русском.

Valda, thank you very much for all the fixes! OK, in future I will be duplicate difficult for me phrases in Russian.

(В будущем я буду дублировать сложные для меня фразы по-русски)

You are welcome! Never mind the critics! Most people here are just begging for corrections from someone who is picky. So, feel free and, believe me, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Lampada, thank you!

I know: "The student is ready - ready teacher". I like it when I am criticized. It helps to remain adequate environmental reality.

If I may help someone, I'll be glad

COME, ALBERT, LET US SLEIGH THEM, HO-HO-HO.
-- "Ready when you are, Master."
YOU MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED, ALBERT, BUT I JUST MADE A PLAY ON WORDS, ALSO KNOWN AS A "PUNE." HO-HO-HO.
-- "Yes, Master."

(From Hogfather -- я обожаю романы Пратчетта!)

I second that!
Совершенное верно.

Lampada, thank you!

"Helps to remain adequate enviromental reality"... что? Я не даже могу представлять что ты хотел писать по происхождению. *scratches head*

**Vova** · February 26th, 2013, 06:12 AM

Good morning!

Throbert McGee, I think this is the funniest writer "throughout multiple universes"

And along with that of his books really helped me in my life and made a lot to think about. (Я считаю его самым смешным писателем "во всей множественной вселенной". И вместе с этим его книги очень помогли мне в жизни и заставили о многом задуматься.

(То, что меня критикуют) Помогает (мне) оставаться адекватным (для) окружающей (меня) реальности.

I do not like unnecessary words, try to write as short as possible. (Не люблю лишние слова, стараюсь писать настолько кратко, насколько это возможно).

But in English, as convinced it's not roll ... Or not? (Но в английском, как убеждаюсь, это не прокатывает... Или нет?)

**Valda** · February 26th, 2013, 06:39 AM

(То, что меня критикуют) Помогает (мне) оставаться адекватным (для) окружающей (меня) реальности.

Теперь я понимаю. Так, значит: It helps me to remain in an adquately realistic environment.

But in English, as convinced it's not roll ... Or not? (Но в английском, как убеждаюсь, это не прокатывает... Или нет?)

But in English, as (it's) been asserted, it doesn't work the same way... Or does it?

Можешь даже сказать "it ain't rolling" = "it doesn't work". Тем не менее, это слишком много сленга для тебя на данный момент.

I am not picky either... but this should be "I have never used it."
