I'm looking for someone to help me with my russian. I'm VERY new and only have a few words and phrases so far. I'd like some help over Skype or email too, as I want to be able to read and recognize the alphabet too. I am more than happy to help with your English at any level- I've been learning Spanish for years, both from school and in life situations, as there are lots of Spanish speakers in Chicago. I have helped lots of friends get better at English while they helped with my Spanish but I don't have anyone here who speaks russian so I'm looking online! :) I would love to become comfortable enough with russian in the next 6-12 months that I could visit russia sometime next year and not be afraid to speak...

    Despite would work better... Despite can take the place of 'even though'; "Sally went to work even though she was ill." "Sally went to work despite the fact she was ill." In spite has a little more of a resistance factor. It really uses a more literal meaning of the verb to spite, in a slightly argumentative or malicious way... More like: "Sally went to the party in spite of her father telling her not to." Or "Sally came back late in spite of her boss yelling at her today." Kind of like when a bratty kid touches something you tell them not to. Though, if you use either (despite/ in spite) in any of your/my examples, no one will question the meaning.

    It's clear. I also would love an app for iPhone or android (though I have an iPhone, so feel free to release that first :)...) I spend a lot of time on my phone and the site is kind of clunky in a mobile device, and An app would help smooth that out and I wouldn't feel like I had to wait til I was home to read/send messages.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

     

    I am learning English, because I want to know English for work.

    My native language is Russian.

    I enjoy English.

    My hobbies are to travel and to converse with my contemporary talk with my peers.
