This have to help you learn language yourself. Please Correct my message to a friend. I'd like to give you some tips and I will be very glad if you'll give me your recommendations for my learning. If I were you I'd install function of automatic correction mistakes on your computer for Russian. It'll help you to see the words that are wrong written. Over order you could use http://translate.google.de or http://translate.ru (there is a automatic pronunciation for many languages and that's very important). Usually I do this such way: 1 First of all I write a English text in translate.google. 2 Then I read the Russian translation. I do necessary corrections in the English text if I see some bullshit. After that you'll have much less mistakes and you will be able correct some mistakes by yourself. Also you can have a look at this: http://masterrussian.com/vocabulary/most_common_words_3.htm I sorry for my not very good English. What do you think about it ? Good luck.
