I'm from the good 'ol US of A; specifically, California, born and raised. I make it a point to add to my learning every day, my favorite medium being books. There isn't anything I enjoy more than reading. I'm currently studying Russian on my own. I'm constantly looking for new challenges and this certainly meets that quota. I have an extensive English vocabulary and would be more than willing to help anyone with any questions they might have, including: grammar structures, synonyms, homonyms, slang etc., etc. Or, if you just want to know what it's like to live in California, we can just shoot the breeze (meaning: talk about little things of no great importance; being conversational). Update: I am set with language partners. I am afraid I don't have the time to add anyone new. Exchanging messages here is fine, though.

    Advanced learners and native speakers, please, help with text correction on medical theme

    Please, help with grammar and spelling corrections

    This text was translated from Russian.

    Please, let me know, if you catch the main idea of this extract.
    Vocabulary advice for translation is highly desirable:
    недопинговые средства - 1) non-drug-doping substances 2) agents of a non-exhaustive action

    Adaptogen and actoprotection activity of succinates: experience of applying the oxymethylethylpyridine succinate ( Mexidol) in judo.

    One of the highest priority problems of the modern sport records is a search for agents of a non-exhaustive action for pharmacological correction, aimed at keeping physical performance at a high level in extreme competitive activity.

    Research objective is to estimate the oxymethylethylpyridine succinate efficiency in a range of activities intended to enhance the energy-supply aerobic process to the maximum extent that improve physical performance and aerobic and strength endurance among athletes, who practice highly qualified strength disciplines.

    Course treatment of oxymethylethylpyridine succinate in a dose of 250 mg a day for 8 days among highly qualified judoists during the regenerative training camp has proven its adaptogenic, stress reducing and actoptotective effects.

    As with any encounter on the Internet, it's important to be discerning (use good judgment). The Internet allows people to be whatever or whomever they choose to be. Perhaps it will help to ask yourself, "Is the person I'm speaking to here for learning languages?". Weigh their words to measure their intent. You're a pretty girl, so you will face more of the creepy element that lurks about this website than the average person. You could also change your profile picture to mitigate (lessen) the strange encounters.

    I'll have to correct Mike. When admitting to a mistake, one wouldn't say, "I made it by mistake". The proper, accurate response would be, "I made a mistake". To say, "I made it by mistake" would cause the listener to believe that the speaker made something (a physical item) by mistake. Unfortunately for non-native English speakers, the demanding call of English for particular sentence structure can be difficult. Your English-writing is good, Giza. Keep it up.

    Francisco, your second example is correct. You could also say that she is replacing her old wardrobe FOR a new fitted cupboard. Some more examples: (A) the bumbling English professor is being replaced by a more competent one. (B) The mechanic decided to replace the old, malfunctioning engine with a new, fuel-injected engine. (C) The dog feels as though he has been replaced by the cat. (D) The little girl replaced her tiny tea set for a much larger one.

    Den, it will depend upon whether you are using "means", as singular or plural. If they are multiple means, you'll use the linking verbs "were" and "are". The structure of your three examples are more comfortably-spoken in plural form. Perhaps someone else can improve upon my response.

    Unfortunately, in the English language, we have muddled the meaning of "love" in many ways. That's one thing I like about the Greek language. It has multiple words for the use of "love", measuring it in different levels. One cannot really love ice cream or love a book. However, as Hilary said, they are now emphasizing how greatly one feels for something.

    Hey Robin, Chris is right. However, your American friends might think it "very cool" if you brought them gifts that were unique to your country or at least representative of your country. Perhaps they will never have a chance to visit China, so your gifts may be the closest they come to it.

    I have to challenge your premise. I see no evidence that one's language determines one's identity. For example: English is the world's trade language. America, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, England, etc. all speak English. However, each region or nation has its own identity and culture. The closest resemblance will be Canada and America, as our histories and peoples share much. However, the nations definitely have different cultures. To address your question regarding perspectives: that comes not from the study of a language, but from the study of culture and history. More directly, it comes from immediate exposure, such as immersion. Keep asking questions, you're on the right track.
