hey... I am back... if any of you remember me? well anyways it's been a while for me with russian.
I have a presentation to do... I had to interview a russian stranger... 1) describe this person 2)describe where you met 3)describe your overall impression

This is what I wrote... it should be fairly okay... after all this russian person did help me out writing this (but not too thouroughly)... but I was looking up some of the words in my dictionary... and I cannot find them, I'm starting to wonder if I caught the spelling of them wrong. Please if you have any input I would appreciate it =)

1)Его завут Данил Петрович Евдокимов. Ему 26. Он радился в Канаде, а но ово бабушки и дедушки Русский. Он изучает русский язык в Калгарии. Он только что вернулся из Петерборге, где он жил и училься в СПБГУ.
2)Мы в старечали, в столовую, мы пили кофе. И разговорили о русских предетах.
3)Я не знала что с ними произходит, но всё была блога получна. Он был интересный и он много мне помогал.


now that I have typed it out... I think there are a lot of mistakes... I am not too sure though. lol

Thank you in advance for all your help.

I'd rather think that Данил is a completely different name and has nothing to do with Даниил. Данила really is a shortened variant of Даниил, and it has another short form Даня, but never Данил, it sounds more like some Arabic name than Slavic.
And a friend of mine has given the name Даниил to her son, he is now 6 years old, so you can see recently there has grown a tendency among Russians to come back to the roots, to revive old traditions, so archaic names have now become fairly widespread. Almost every other girl is now called Настя :) And for Russian immigrants in Canada it seems rather natural to suffer from nostalgie and to give their son a traditional Russian name.

Yes, I'd noticed this tendency too. 10 years ago it was so strange to hear from one young mother, calling her 2-years old son: "Nestor, come here!"
And now it's common.
