    Hello, Mumtaz!

    Am I right that you want people to correct your notes and that's all? Do you preffer to be corrected by the same person or it doesn't matter?

    By the way, I saw how people mislead others...that's terrible. (I am talking about native speakers of Russian) I know how it's hard to explain simple things to foreigners.

    Also, I would like to remind you and others that the questions of this discussion are:

    "How do you think whether there are fake accounts on italki?"

    "Who has another examples for "avoiding phrases"?"

    Эдуард, as I remember you didn't answer to one lady who sent you a message about language exchange. It seems her nickname is Sonia. She sent you Skype and you didn't respond her.

    Yeah...it's hard to find a confederate )

    2Atoy. Yeah, for me it is everything ok too.

    It is only a topic for discussions.

    2Fußball Spieler. Yeah, maybe they find it fun to fake others.

    2Julia. Нет, ты меня немного неправильно поняла.

    Те люди, которые хотят только переписываться - они прямо так и говорят. И это нормально. Например, ты - в своем аккаунте ты сразу даешь понять, что ты хочешь общаться только с теми людьми, у которых знания языка на уровне B1 или выше. ("Ты что, не уважаешь тех, у кого знания языка ниже B1???")

    Moreover - "более того". Т.е. меня удивляет (продолжает удивлять) то, что люди, которые хотят улучшить разговорный навык не пользуются скайпом. (It sounds like I want to be fluent but I don't want to speak.) Yes, that is a new information.

    Возможно, у нас разные значения слова "moreover". Let's take a look at what it means. "Linking words" for help :-)

    Your focus is a partner with B1 level or higher. My focus is speaking.

    And focus of this topic is to have a little more writing practice )

    Julia, may I correct your words? (Assuming "yes" - "этом", "нереальные" (in this context it is one word), "удивило", "поэтому", "в принципе", "неправильно" (in this context it is one word), "пользоваться", "этим", "закончить", "отношения")

    Yes, Julia, you are absolutely right. Да, Юлия, ты абсолютно правильно меня поняла.

    I wonder whether those people [who only want to be penpals] are fake. (Интересно, настоящие ли люди, которые хотят только переписываться, или у них все-таки фейковые аккаунты?)

    How's it going with your Russian?

    2Dilka. Привет нижегородцам ) Идея топика - "Какие Вы встречили отмазки?" Даже если человек с маленьким уровнем, то всегда можно выйти на связь, чтобы узнать как звучат в оригинале те или иные звуки. Are you agree with me?

    We all respect people who want to improve writing as well.

    No problem, Comandante and Julia )

    I am talking about people who avoid Skype communication by different reasons.

    I met people who were interested in writing. They directly said that - that's great!

    But when person avoid online communication some thoughts visit my head.

    I know that on chats (on the Internet) there are a lot of fake accounts using others pictures (photos of other people). For example, schoolboys fake adults. Adults fake students/children.

    That is true, not for an arguing.

    The topic is not about "do you respect them or not". We all respect their choices.

    Well, what kind of reasons have you ever heard from people who can't use Skype?

    Moreover, this discussion is a good way to improve writing :-)

    Fake accounts?

    Hello, friends!
    I am still thinking of why people avoid communication by Skype.
    How do you think whether there are fake accounts on italki?
    I heard that people made fake accounts on different chats because they didn't want to be recognised.
    Then I thought to myself what if people here who "don't have Skype" or "don't use Skype" or anything else are just fake? They want only to be penpals (I mean only writing). No realtime (face-to-face) communications.
    Moreover, it is very strange when someone wants to improve speech doesn't use Skype. They all want to be friends on italki.
    Look at these phrases. "Plz don't ask my messanger", "I don't use Skype", "I am very shy for Skype", "I am not always online", "It doesn't work for me"
    Who has another examples for "avoiding phrases"?
    I don't want to be right, I want to believe there are some real people here.
