First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am learning English language for many years. I am quite isolated at home for last 8 months with the baby (my youngest son) and I suffer from a lack of habitual affairs and a language practice also. My native language is russian and I grew up in Soviet Union and live in Russia now. I studied German language a little and would like to continue its studying in the future. I am interested in many many things. I like to read (in russian, in english). I am fond of different needlework (sewing, knitting and so on), I am inerested in a photo, I like to travel, I love animals and I plant flowers.

Yeah, it can definitely be difficult to find time to focus on studying a language - especially if you are busy taking care of a family or managing a career! But as Susan said, the Internet allows you to find all the opportunities in the world for learning and practicing foreign languages. :)

Молодец! ))

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I have been learning English language for many years. (use perfect continuous here, since it is an activity that started in the past, and is continuing at this moment).
I've also been quite isolated at home for the last 8 months with the baby (my youngest son), and I suffer from a lack of habitual affairs (? not sure what you mean here) and a (since "practice" is uncountable) language practice also.
My native language is Russian. and I grew up in the Soviet Union and live in Russia now.
I studied the German language (or simply - "I studied German) a little and would like to continue to study it in the future.
I am interested in many, many things. I like to read (in Russian and in English). I am fond of different needlework (sewing, knitting and so on), I am inerested in a photography, I like to travel, I love animals and I plant flowers.

Hi Svetlana - I know how you feel with a new baby. Despite the joys, as you say it can be isolating . You enjoy reading - who are your favourite authors? Infact, do you have any time for reading at the moment?! 'habitual affairs"...I wonder if you mean daily interaction? ( adult conversation, for example). The internet is a wonderful way to interact with the outside world and communicate. Welcome to italki :-)
