Can anybody check this text, please? Hi. I live in Moscow and studying Russian Philology at the University. I studied English in school, but there was no success at all, and the last three years, I haven't practice in English. I think I forgot almost everything, but in fact watching TV shows in English (with Russian subtitles) and reading fanfiction has allowed not to lose the knowledge entirely. I am very pleased to participate in the marathon Language Heroes. For me is at first trying to learn how to manage your time to finally seriously study English. Since childhood my dream was to read books, especially English literature. Seriously, it seemed my heart started to beat faster when I heard the names of Bronte, Dickens, Wilde, etc. I want this now, and I need English in my future profession. What a modern philologist does not know English, if we think about it? So many interesting books, articles and blogs written in English!. Today was my first conversation with a native speaker and I was very nervous, but it was so nice, we tried to discuss our favorite books and movies, it was interesting and funny. It helped me realize how much I still need to learn to discuss even such basic topics. It is very inspiring.
