The Life of Pi
I want to offer you a kind of language practice. I started reading "The Life of Pi" recently. In the fisrt place, I have troubles understanding some difficult places in the book. Secondly, I just don't know how to place stresses in some sentences, have no idea how to pronounce some words, how to contract words in specific cases etc. So I'd be grateful if anyone can read it to me, paragraph by paragraph. In my turn I'd be happy to read a Russian translation to you, the same way, paragraph by paragraph. If you're interested in such language practice, contact me. You're welcome.

You could always write the text you need read in a special evernote and I will record it for you so you can hear it again and again. Alternatively you could post it in rhinospike.com and I will record it for you. My name there is JabberVox. Thirdly, I could read it to you on Skype and transcribe it with IPA showing stresses, etc. Let me know

Hello Andrey,
This is a very good way for practicing two languages at the same time. I wish I was that good at Russian but unfortunately not yet. Still, if you're interested in reading this book I would be glad to read it with you as long as I have some free time.
Cheers,
Mona
