 Hello everyone. 
Im not sure i ever introduced myself when i first joined this community.
My names Dan, and i am learning russian, but not in the traditional sense, i suppose.
Simply, i lived with russian students who came here on J-1's, and some of which who had decided to take a sebatical from their universities and stay for a year; for about 3 years.
They've taught me the alphabet of course, and with the assistance of simple books, i've grasped the basic grammer. 
When i listen to them speak, i can understand almost everything. I can hold conversations with them. and because ive lived with them for so long, they tell me that when i speak, i have almost no accent.
My main thing is, i need to expand my vocabulary. and i want a deeper understanding of the grammer.
Thus, my joining this community.
So hello everyone, and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm Tracy, and I'm learning Russian for the second time. I go to NTID here in Rochester, NY as an ASL interpreting student. This summer I will be in Saint Petersburg for a month and I'm really interested in learning more about the Deaf in Russia.

I have a question:

What does Жестовый mean?

I've seen this: Русский Жестовый Язык, to mean Russian Sign Language, but my teacher told me it would be язык русский немых. Is this no longer considered correct? If I say I study American Sign Language, would I use Американский Жестовый Язык or Язык Американский Немых?


Thanks for your help!

I need some help with English

Hello!
I'm Russian and study English for a little time with teacher, she is not native speaker. She's a professor of foreign languages and  speaks English well. But she is 63 years old))) So I need some dialogues or correspondence with somebody who might speak with me about everyhting on really English . I'm just afraid to start speak with people (tourists in the Moscow bars for example) because I'm afraid that my English is ancient and academic))) I hope you understand what I write about.
In exchange I could consult you in Russian. I speak and write Russian very well, I can help you write business letter well and I know Russian financial language well.

random questions!

Hi, I just have two really quick questions. Is "прошлый зимой" the correct translation for "last winter"? And how would you translate "I will read his letter"? Thanks :)
