Hello! I was born in Russia and lived here my whole life, which would make 28 full years this fall. For the past 10 years, I've been studying linguistics as a hobby, but I like to believe I'm quite thorough in this hobby of mine. I especially enjoy comparing the sounds of different languages and their syntax, the two key features that Russian and English differ in so much. Also, around the same time I've been teaching as a private teacher (and now in public school, too), so if you're up for a more organized approach, I'm ready to arange that. So, if you'd like to start learning the language of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, or work on the skill that you already have, I'll be glad to help you out with that!
