My first note on italki Hello! My name is Andrey and I'm from Russia. All times when I visited other counteries as a tourist, I felt myself uncomfortable, because my verbal skills in English is very low. I can read and understand English technical texts, because it needs for my work. Sometimes I can hear and translate а speech, if it is not very fast. I can recognize some words and its combinations, when I listen English music by radio. But I cannot speak English. I think for a long time about each sentence, and I think, my accent is very terrible. I hope this internet site help me to improve my English skills, writting and verbal. Thank you for reading my note.
