Ms Help, better do something with messages which we can't send. I often have to send the same message 3-4 times before italki deliver it. My friends here have the same problem.

Ms Help, maybe Douglas needs a help with a translation. Native speakers can help with it also)) It's good way for learning to, I think)) Why not? Phrase in English: "I'm learning Russian because I want to visit this beautiful country one day.." Translation into Russian:" Я учу русский язык, потому что однажды я хочу побывать в этой прекрасной стране..."

Hi Douglas, There's a little bit of a problem, we try to keep the notebook as a place where you can write in the language you are learning. This will help you to get helpful corrections from native speakers. And that will make your learning go smoother. Try to write in the language you are learning when you use the notebook. Thank you so much. :)
