I'm from Saint-Petersburg, male, 23 years old. I would like to improve my English talking skills and I'm looking forward to seeing english-native speakers. I can be a tour guide (I know the city quiet well) so we may go sightseeing together; visit museums, theatres, bars/night clubs etc.

I think he is asking for an exchange being a tour guide for actual conversations in English which totally fair.

Hello everyone. Of course, Paul is right that I propose my person as a tour guide for free as I'm looking here not for money but practice in English language. I’ve been studying english since school and currently working as engineer in the technical department of an American company for more than a year, so I believe I will be able to persuade the role of a tour guide.
Thank you Ekaterina, I hope I’ll find the people on the sites you mentioned. Anyway, if anyone can help me in this search let me know here .Thank you!

Hello Ekaterina. Finally I was admitted to that club (www.hospitalityclub.org). Really don't know what to begin from, how to find the people I need. My nickname is simple - "yury". I would appreciate if you could help me with it.

Hello,
To that man who wants to learn better English, although I'm not an English teacher, maybe I can help you. It sounds like as far as speaking and normal writing, you know English well. But I'll see if I can help. Maybe you can help me speak Russian and learn the alphabet. There are things that confuse me about it. Do you have yahoo messenger or ICQ? If so, I'll download whichever you have, or you can download one of them. Let's don't work with MSN messenger. It doesn't use the same e-mail and pasword very much and it gets agravating to have to think of a new password every so often which is pretty often.
