First notebook entry: Introducing myself

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Ok, why do I study English? First It started when I was a little girl; it was my mother's suggestion. Yet now I'm really happy that I have an opportunity to practise this language, make new friends, visit different countries and talk with other people - not like Russian tourists do.

No problem with the last part, except that your sentence baecame long and unwieldy.  By "not like Russian tourists do", I assume you mean they usually keep to themselves and don't interact with the locals?  Many tourists do that...
