    Привет всем!

    Привет всем! Меня зовут Алексей. Я родился на Украйна но живу в США. Я некогда не выучил русский язык. Теперь, я хотел бы выучить русский язык. Я буду делать много ошибок. Я желаю улучшить мой знание русского языка и общаться новым людям по Интернету.

    Hey everyone! My name is Alexei. I was born in Ukraine, but live in the US. I never learned Russian, but now I'd like to. I'll likely make many mistakes, but it's apart of the learning process, so I'm aware. I wish to improve my knowledge of the Russian language and communicate with new people through the Internet. I wouldn't say I'm looking for a language partner though because I don't really have the time to sit down and do that. I tried many times before and timing always got in the way. Instead, I'd just like to be a part of the community, contribute where I can, and of course learn more Russian! I hope this forum is active. I've tried a couple and they usually seem dead.

    Очень приятного познакомитесь!

    Привет! Не так уж много ошибок!

    * Don't confuse некогда (once, in former times, in the old days) and никогда (never).

    Привет Звездочет,

    Спасибо за помощь! I have a long way to go. Such a long way, heh. To be honest, I didn't even know about некогда. It must have been a typo, because I definitely meant никогда.

    Can you help explain your phrase не так уж...?

    I'm just beginning in Russian too, but I think Не так уж can be interpreted as " not really " and " много ошибок " is " much mistakes "

    correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to mean " not really so many mistakes "

    Rouloubole is right: не так уж = не очень.

    Спасибо вам оба! I try to translate things literally because it's very difficult to infer meaning from words and phrases you don't know. More often than not, it confuses me. So I see "не так" and think "Not so" literally, but then we have "уж" which is... some sort of particle possibly. It's odd because I don't think there's an equivalent in English. Naturally that throws me off. I guess it's another thing I have to remember instead of question. :P

    Rouloubole, How are finding Russian so far? I've been studying for about a year, but it's hard to keep up without any practical application. No one speaks Russian around me.

    More active than this cannot be.
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Wow, I've been studying for about two months. I try to learn new vocabulary, watch series, read a lot ( even if I don't understand, just practicing )

    I think I haven't made many progress. I know declensions ( but not how to use cases, so it is a real problem for me, in french, my native language, it seems really weird. And I'm not even so good in French grammar, so it makes it harder. ) , and I know little present tense.

    So you probably know a lot more than me ( even though I'm glad to see Russian has a lot of french words ahah ), but so far I find it very cool, and good to learn.

    other than that, I hear and practice a little with my friend on skype.

    I think you have made progress, especially since you started. I'm still struggling with the cases as well, but it's something you just have keep up with. I don't know much about French, but I do know "Приятно апетита" which came from French no doubt. :P

    Слова, заимствованные из французского - Самоучитель французского языка - уроки онлайн

    Just look how many words I " know " in russian just because I'm french, ahah.

    Well, I wish you good luck too. If you want to practice , maybe you could try to find a penpal ? Since we are both learning, maybe we could help each other too.

    Russian language has many borrowings from: latin/french/german/english.
    Latin - because all european languages did it.
    French - because russian nobility in 17xx was under influence of France.
    German - because russian nobility in 18xx was ...
    English - ... till now.
    It's ok.
