Ochen' rada!

Hi! I am soooo happy that this community exists... I am trying to improve my written Russian, so I too have an online journal dedicated to writing in Russian... So, if anyone wants to check it out and give me advice on how to write better, I'd appreciate it. I've been friending some of the others I've been seeing on this list too - it helps me to read other journals and the advice people are getting for them.

Peace!

There’s actually a community for that too, I believe … I think it’s practice_russian.

[apollotiger.livejournal.com]

Haha. Or maybe practicerussian

Thank you for the sweet, caring, kind and very thoughtful words!

Uhh … thanks. I’m guessing that … wasn’t sarcasm.

(If not, it’s ironic, as I am terrible at Russian myself.)

I had a look at your info-page and noticed some mistakes, so let me correct them :)

- Я стараю пишет здесь по-русский. You must write Я стараюсь писать здесь по-русски 'cause you've forgotten the ending of the verb that means it was done personally by you and also пишет - it's the form that means "he/she writes", not "I write"
- Я буду пожить в Россий осенью. "Пожить" is not used with the verb "буду". You can say Я хочу пожить в России осенью or Я буду жить в России осенью.
- У меня дви кошки и одна собака. Here you just were wrong with the number :) I mean, the number 2 is called "две" (female) or "два" (male)

Спасибо! I really appreciate you taking the time to correct my mistakes.

I also found many mistakes in your lj posts :) if you need I can correct them

[red-kitti.livejournal.com]

Go for it. I can use all the help I can get:)

[ex-solar-leo857.livejournal.com]

oh, i opened the comments in your lj and saw that you had already all the necessary help and translation from native speakers! :)

[red-kitti.livejournal.com]

Well, check back... I'm sure I'll soon write something truly awful that will make all native Russian-speakers absolutely cringe :)
