Russian-English lessons exchange?

Hi,

Would anyone living in the south bay area, California, be interested in exchanging Russian conversation lessons for English conversation lessons :)?

I'm a Russian native speaker, so I can easily help you with your homework, speak Russian with you, etc. I'm not sure I'll be able to explain all the "formal" language rules to you, as it's been long since I studied them.
In exchange I'd like to practice my conversational English with a native English speaker.

Interested, anyone?

I'm currently taking private tutoring in Russian from a person who's a native speaker and former French language professor from Uzbekistan. While this has been easier to do than commit to a college course, it's also been somewhat slow-going. I seem to be doing alright, it just gets frustrating sometime, to not be able to express more complex thoughts in Russian. I'm essentially back to a first-grade reading/writing level :-). It's my own fault for waiting until I'm 39 to learn my first foreign language...
