"Either" -
1. one or the other of two
You can park on either side of the street.
You can keep one of the photos. Either of them-whichever you like.
We can go to either restaurant.
I haven't been to either of those restaurants.
2. each of two
The offices on either side were empty.
There's a door at either side of the corridor.
3. used to state a similar feeling or situation after a negative phrase.
I don't speak French. My friend doesn't speak it either.
"Neither -
1. not one or the other of two things or people
Neither answer is correct. Neither of us speak/speaks French.
2. used to show that a negative statement is also true of sm/sth else
He didn't remember and neither did I. = He didn't remember and I didn't remember either.
I can't understand a word of it. Neither can I. = I can't understand a word of it and I can't understand a word of it either.

Hello,
My name is maris, which is really nice to get on this site, I took interest in you after reading your profile at (www.italki.com). ([email protected])
I believe age and distance has nothing to do with love, so just drop me an email through my private e-mail address ([email protected]), so that we can communicate better and I send you my images.
Thank you.
maris.
