Hi everyone. I am glad that I was lucky enough to find this site.

Hi everyone!

I really want to find a person who studies Russian. I'm sure I could be useful for person like this. If somebody helps me in field of my studying English at the same time then I'll be really happy.

A little bit about myself.

My name is Kostya. I'm from Sain-Petersburg, Russia. I am not so young (I'm forty seven to be honest). Despite my age I have decided to study English. By now I have been studying English for two years. I try to study honestly, but I only do it on my own. For this reason I haven’t got enough practice.

If this mutually advantageous way of getting language practice is interesting to you too (I mean a kind of Skype conversations or something else) then please reply me. I'll be glad.

Thanks in advance,
Kostya (kotofey).

Welcome to the forums! Your English is top-notch. Only had 1 noticeable mistake, and it was a location mistake

And it's a mistake you get to overcome through practice, not through textbook, so you're in a good place.

У меня нет времени для такой вещи как СКАЙП, но иногда я войду на чат и голосовой чат... Вы приглашены участвовать :)

Thank you for your note, Valda.

To tell the truth, to write a long letter to someone it is much easier than to tell somebody a few words. I mean my English of course.

I've already understood that this place is very good. It's only necessary to convince other members that I can not only receive their help for my own purposes. But to give them help, back. It is pity that my offer interested nobody. At least till now :-). Up to this point I have been simply reading the various messages of these forums. It is really very interesting. I feel like a spy sometimes ;-). But the direct communication is much more interesting, of course. So, I'll be waiting on.

Иногда трудно говорить о «грамматических ошибках». С точки зрения грамматики их может и не быть. Но твою фразу русские сказали бы как-то так:

"У меня не хватает времени на общение в СКАЙПЕ, но я бываю и в чате, и в голосовом чате... Участвуйте."

Приветствую Вас, Костя. Читать отрытые форумы - не шпионство, даже если и не подключаться к дискуссиям. Я думаю, что участие в форуме и есть непосредственное, прямое общение. Иногда да, в инете можно завести близких друзей. Это как повезёт.
