Ваш русский лучше, чем мой английский. Вы пишите сами. (Есть очень маленькие неточности). Мне помогает программа, когда я не могу сама перевести или правильно составить предложение. Хотя программа не корректна. Но я стараюсь.  
История России действительно очень интересная.

Если Вам будут нужны какие-нибудь фотографии красивых мест - я могу Вам в этом помочь. |

Irina, when you do have extra time, what do you like to do? Music? Watching football (what we call "soccer" )? Not that you have extra time  . |

Anna, when I have extra time, I communicate at forums and I look TV.
Football I look only the European championship, the World championship, UEFA.
I very much love Ф1. Just on Sunday, on March, 29th, the new season opens.
And you? |

I have just been learning Russian for 7 weeks (4 hours each week) and I am sure improving every day; at least I know that it's supposed to be "на Невском Проспекте", not "на Невский Проспект" (as I wrote in a sentence on our first экзамен) - this is amongst the worst beginner mistakes I think. :S |

YellowMelon-privet to you also (I think you're Swedish, but I can't speak a word of your language)! I too have been studying Russian for about as long as you. I can read much of the alphabet, and some words that resemble English, but I'm really bad . You are correct, I think Irina has more English words than our Russian, put together .
Irina: We have something very much like Formula 1 here, and it is popular in my state. I enjoy watching our racing, too .
I enjoy many kinds of music; rock, classical, blues, R&B, hip-hop, opera . I love Russian literature; Tolstoy, Gogol, Turganev, so I am always reading before bed. I'm trying to read War and Peace *help*. I admire the great Russian culture and history. For sports, I swim and do yoga, but I'm not very athletic . |

Irina, Yellow, and Anne, you should look at masterrussian.com 's forum for penpals and tips to learn Russian and English. Irina, there are some expats sites in which you can meet native speakers in your city. expat.ru and redtape.ru. They will have events in which you can meet native speakers to increase your language skills.
Skype also helps, because you can talk with Anne without cost and help each other to learn. |

Anne: Hejsan. Yup, I'm 100% Swedish although I now pretty much feel like more like a Moscowite... Russian is a very nice language (unfortunately not as easy to learn as other Indo-European languages). And I love those cute little "soft letter markers" - ы and ь. Sure, those internet resources are a good start, though not always accurate, but I'd recommend you to take a dedicated "Russian for Beginners" course at your local University, in case you'd want to *learn* Russian. A part of the course I'm taking involves ourselves SPEAKING in Russian (and getting taunted at by our teacher for our 'wrongdoings'  ) and I am improving my speaking skills every day.
Paul: hmm, I don't really like masterrussian.com, the verb aspect section is far from complete. They should mention that perfective verbs only may be used in past / future case and in present case in their primary forms (infinite). The funny thing about verb aspects, btw, is that there still are lot of things to explore. So in the future you'll probably be seeing lots of doctoral theses about this. 
We actually have two Russians in our class, both of whom have helped me out immensely! And our grammar teacher (also Russian) is also a great resource.

Masterrussian' s is better and you can find penpals and ask questions. Also on Expat.ru, there are many Russians looking to exchange language lessons. |

Thanks you for council.
In the city of expats yet has not met.
I was registered at forums on correspondence and nobody has answered me already half a year.
Yes, Skype I have, but because of a difference in time, I think not so conveniently to communicate with Anna. Though all can be. |

200 years from the date of Gogol's birth will be fast.
I too love our classics and I re-read from time to time.
Especially it is pleasant to me Dostoevsky.
Are you read? |

You are probably right, Irina . With a big time difference, it makes real-time communication hard. I was thinking about email, if you have that-perhaps we can exchange email addresses by PM?
Are you asking if I am well-read? I want to think so, but I never feel I read enough. Every time I finish a book, there is always another! It never stops. |

Nice chit-chat do you have here
2 Iren - yep, you have to practice. That's the only way. So i'd recommend you to solve somehow the time difference problem and to start live conversations. It helps a lot. Really.
Да, сложно, когда начал изучать язык достаточно недавно и база невелика. По себе знаю - мой чешский, например, до сих пор хромает на обе ноги Хотя я больше года на нём разговариваю В Чехии Но это тебе поможет, правда.
2 Anne N. - in what exact part of US do you live? |
