To start... This is my first note here. I think I should write here the reasons why I am here, at italki.com. First of all, I like to communicate with people from abroad. Second, I want to improve my English. Some Englishmen told me that my writing English is much better than that of native Englishmen. But I'm a translator (Ru to En) and language editors time and again prove that my language skill is not perfect. Not the worst, of course, but not among the best either. I think I should tune my skill in fine tings like harmony of tenses, uses of articles, prepositions and gerunds. So English grammar-nazi are welcome to correct me at these points. :) Thanks in advance. Third, I'd be also glad if someone will help me practice Lithuanian and French. I don't plan to visit Lithuania or France, or any other country in the nearest future, though plan to visit Vilnius and Paris one day. And fourth, I can help anyone who already has good skills in Russian and needs "fine tuning", like me in English. I'm also a kind of grammar-nazi regarding Russian, so I can notice many fine errors. That's all for now, any comments are welcome.
