I think you should use ru_learnenglish if you speak Russian;)

You're offering help to those learning Russian in this community which I think is okay, but as the person before said ru_learnenglish is also a good place for you to go.

I added you, please add me back! I've corrected your English below...

"First I want to apologize for my English. I'm from Belarus, it's a country near Russia. Almost everyone in our country speaks Russian (85%). I want to practice my English, and I think you want to practice your Russian. So is somebody is interested in communicating with me, feel welcome: rubo3@yandex.ru"

Please don't feel put off by my corrections, you are doing really great, and the whole post was very understandable. Your mistakes are very minor ones.

True, true... Most Americans are sloppy anyway, don't use capitalization, mis-spell words, use ebonics, etc.

More specifically, in the UK and other places which use this spelling, in "practise" as a verb, we use "s", e.g. "I practise on the piano every day." When used as a noun, it's spelt with a "c", e.g. "You're doing a lot of practice these days, aren't you?" It's good to know people do this, but honestly, I think the distinction is being lost and gradually people are using "practice" for both more and more. I know there will be some people who disagree with me.

By the way, this same thing, where "-ise" is for the verb and "ice" is for the noun works for "advise/advice" as well. The difference is, that both "practise" and "practice" are said the same, but "advise" sounds like "eyes" at the end, and "advice" sounds like it has "ice" at the end.

I hope that's clear >.>

Whoops... My correction needs correcting too - That should have read:

"So if..."
