What motivates me in languages learning.
I try to learn several languages and sometimes I suffered from the lack of motivation. I just couldn't put myself together and make me practice. So I invented some motivational events that may happen if I would be fluent in these languages. For example: I can immigrate to USA and my life there would be much more easier of I'd be fluent in English. I would visit Hollywood and could meet Jackie Chan. Of course he speaks English well, but I think it will be more comfortable for him if we could speak Chinese. And as everyone know there are many people from Latin America in the California so I can find more friends with good Spanish. This is just an example of how I try to motivate myself. Maybe it will help some people too
Thanks for any corrections

How does having a twin sister affect my life?
I have a twin-siter and now I want to write about how does it affect our lives. I think the biggest problem that every twins have (at least in Russia) is necessity to answer all those same questions from strangers that we are asked every day as we go out together. It may seem rude if we are just silent. There are a few of these questions:
- Do your parents distinguish you from your sister?
(Of course they do! Would you distinguish your kids one from another?)
-Who is older sister?
(What? We are twins! There is no older.)
Next is my favourite:
-Is this your twin-sister?
(No, this is my twin-brother. Obviously she is. Why ask?)
- Why don't you wear same clothes?
(And why should we?)
-Why are you alone today? Where is your sister?
(We are NOT Siamese twins, ok? I can go out without my sister.)
But there are also quite offensive questions like:
-Does your mother more love you or your sister?
(How can I answer this question?)
And I am not talking about " Hey, look, they are twins" that we hear every day. All these questions are quite annoying. There are millions of twins around, why other people still being so interested in us?

Un poco de mí misma
Hola a todos. Antes llevé un año estudiando español. Pero en este año no he tenido ninguna práctica y por eso ahora voy a tratar recordarme de lo que había aprendido. Quiero empezar de contar un poco de mí misma.
Me llamo Anastasía. Acabo de celebrar cumpleaños de 20 años. Soy rusa y ahora vivo en Rusia. Desde 13 años vivía en China. Estudié en una escuela y después, en una universidad alli. Llegé a China con mi hermana porque nuestros padres querían que estudiemos chino en un país donde lo hablan. Antes de llegar a China estudié chino seis años en Russia pero no podía comunicar con los chinos porque no los entendía. Ahora mi chino está en nivel avanzado. A parte de español y chino estoy aprendido inglés, alemán, italiano y francés. Quiero llegar al nivel avanzado en todas estas lenguas.
En este sitio esperi encontrar amigos para practocar español y otros idiomas juntos. Y si hace falta, puedo ayudaros con ruso.
