[identity profile] quem98.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] learn_russian
I know this is a bit of a silly request, but could I possibly enlist a native Russian speaker to chat with me in Russian over IM or ICQ?
All I ask is that you don't filter your speech and that you actually correct me when I make mistakes.

I'd be forever grateful... and buy you a cookie. ():-)

Yes I realise this is a fairly selfish post... so some question that could benefit the greater population of this list.

зато and хотя... I know they're technically synonyms, but is there any difference in their usage?

I can chat with you sometimes, but only on YM or MSN.

I'd like to help you, but I so don't have time for ICQ. :(

"зато" is "but instead/on the other hand", "хотя" is "although". Eg,

Он не умел плавать, но зато он очень быстро бегал.

Он не умел плавать, хотя и мог продержаться на воде несколько минут.

I know. I used to be an ICQ user with a six-digit number, which meant that I started to use it as early as 1998. I just don't use it now :))
