Hello, I am studying abroad in St Petersburg next year and have to write a short letter to my future host family, and was wondering if you guys would look over it and let me know what mistakes I've made. Thank you!



Здравствуйте!

Меня зовут Сара Перажин. Мне двадцать лет, и я живу в Харрисбурге, в штате Пенсильвания. Я учусь в университете Темпл, на втором курсе, на факултете русского языка.

Я хочу благодарить вас за то, чтобы позволить мне жить с вами, когда я буду в России. Я очень *******, и я буду видеть вас в сентябре!

Искренне ваша,
Сара



OKAY, for those ****'s, I want to say that I am excited, but I'm not sure what word will NOT make me sound anxious, nervous, etc. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal to say "I'll see you in September" in Russian.

I'll probably have to make this longer, and say things about my interests & stuff, but that should be no problem. So, pleaase let me know what I should change here. Especially if things sound weird or inappropriate or something. Thank you!

how would one translate the following

"we will need to have finished it by the time she arrives".

the specifics of the sentence (genders etc.) are not important - i just need to know how one deals with the interplay of tenses in such a phrase.

thanks,

also, am i correct in thinking that дело, штука and фишка have similar meanings? i know the last two are slang, but it seems that one can replace the word дело in many phrases with one of those, e.g

в том–то и дело! = в том–то и штука!

let me know if i'm off-base. also a more complete guide to phrases using these words would be much appreciated, if anyone has the time and expertise.

Очень советую прочитать пару книжек, а именно Понедельник начинается в субботу (братья Стругацкие) и Шлем ужаса (Виктор Пелевин). Так вы сможете проверить себя :) Удачи!

Bye!
