Paradox.
When an English-speaking person asks for help in learning the Russian language, a crowd rushes to help him. When a Russian guy asks for his help with the English language, he doesn't help.
Why is that?
I think the most probable explanation for refusing to help someone is not a lack of good will, but a lack of time. For example, in the Notebook section of italki, hundreds of people ask for help with their English every day. It may not be possible for any one English speaker to give help to everyone who asks him for help. For all we know, the person who refuses to help a particular person may have just spent a lot of time helping someone else. Maybe he would like to help the other person also, but doesn't have the time to do so.
I do believe, however, that in the situation where someone asks you for help with Russian, he should be willing to devote an equivalent amount of time to helping you. That is only fair.

You're, Ando, absolutely right and I totally agree with you. This is one of the real reasons, but I think there are other reasons too.
Many thanks for your good answer.

It's because you're a guy. Look at other Russian girls. The moment they post, lots of hands for help get together. That's the way it is here and there. But as you've already seen, there might be a few but there are some people who help you.

Maybe so, grae_92, but I think it's just different.
