Russian speakers, Do you think you sound like in USA movies?

What do yo think when you watch a USA movie and a russian shows up (on the film) and start talking with that accent like:

"Hey camrrrrrrrade, Im Petrrrrovich"

Do you consider you actually speak like that?

Women, How would you react/reply to a compliment?

I think getting compts. may be good, it can increase your mood and esteem,

but,of course,it could be annoying for some women who consider disrespectful.

Would you take it like something cute or bad, if it comes from your friend or a total stranger?

If you take it well,would you reply with another one?

 

я думаю что, получить комплимент может быть хорошо,

комплимент может увеличение свой настроение, или ,

это непочтительный может быть   для некоторых женщин.

это был бы хорошо или плохо для вас?

как у вас бы отвечал на комплимент?

 

(Let me know my mistakes/указывать мои ошибки) Thanks

What is the meaning of "Someone/thing TO [verb]" ? I've seen some sentences (actually news titles) with the next structure, but I don't get what's the function of the infinitive verb (to verb) in there. "Europe to avoid (something)" And some others (I am not sure about this one) like "John is to learn English"

How to translate the next phrases from spanish into english? These are some expressions I so often use in spanish, but i got problems to translate them. "Entro a las (hora)" (Refiriendose a la hora de entrada a la universidad por ejemplo) "Salgo a las (hora)" (Refiriendose a la hora de salida de algun lugar/evento) "Mañana cumplo años" (¿Como se "traduce" el verbo "cumplir años" en los distintos tiempos? Podria usar "will be my birthday", pero he escuchado que utilizan otro verbo) Espero darme a entender)) Thanks

Today is the international left-hander day, are you one of them?

I did know about this day o_O

But for me is a good pretext to practice and check my english.

Are you a left-hander one?

<em>What have been your experiences in a "right world" ?</em>

 

I've always written in right-chairs at school, the first time I sat in a left-one 

I felt comfortable, I thought get tired was normal, till I found that chair.

My problem was I wasn't the only one, also a friend in that classroom was LH, and we started

our own "fight" by that chair n.n
