My name is Elif and I'm from Turkey. I visited Moscow and Saint Petersburg a few weeks ago and I literally fell in love with Russia, it's people and language. And I decided to learn Russian language. I bought a bunch of self-study books for Russian. Now I can read anything that is written in Cyrillic alphabet, I memorized around 300 Russian words and learnt the basic grammar. So obviously I cannot hold a conversation in Russian but my aim is to be able to speak Russian sooner or later. =)
If any of you guys are interested in Turkish, I am okay with the language exchange. Or I can help you with English or German, these two languages are not my native languages, though.
Thanks.
