日本のおともだちへ

日本のおともだちへ
こんばんは！

*ともだち is fine. But おともだち creates better first impression to those who would become your friends. 

私はケメロヴォに住すんでいます。 ケメロヴォはシベリアの町です。ケメロヴォには日本語の勉強をしている人が多いです。日本人と話したいのでみなさん、誰だれかスカイプで、ロシア人のグループと話せるしたい人はいませんすか。

*More formal way to say: 日本人とお話したいです。どなたかスカイプでロシア人のグループとお話ししませんか。(I'd like to speak with Japanese people. Would anyone like to talk with our Russian group via Skype?)

来週の水曜日　（11月９日）、東京の時間：２０：時３０分に私の友達がを紹介しかできます。名前、国、仕事がについて話せできます。 

*More formal way to say: お互いの名前、国、仕事についてお話ししましょう。(Let's talk about our names, countries, and professions each other.)

５分から－７分ぐらい話せます。 人の自己紹介をきいたり、自分の自己紹介をしたりする予定です。ごめんなさい。
お友達をになりましょう!

*自己紹介/jiko shokai/ sounds more natural as the translation for 'self introduction'.

Привет, Мариа. Очень приятно. I’m Japanese and learning Russian in Japan. Can I join the chat, пожалуйста? By the way, you don't have to feel ごめんなさい here. I'm sure you're very motivational and your Japanese is actually good =)

Hello, Natalia. Nice to meet you. First of all, let me break down the structure of each phrase below; A. ありがとうございませ -> ありがとうございます 　=　ありがとう + ございます "Thank you" B. どもありがとう -> どうもありがとう 　=　どうも + ありがとう "Thanks a lot" Basically the difference between those two are 1) the level of politeness and 2) the level of gratitude. 1) the level of politeness: A > B The phrase A contains ございます, which shows your respect to who you are talking to, while the other does not. Therefore, A is polite, but B is not. 2) the level of gratitude: A < B The phrase B has どうも, which means "a lot/very much", but the other does not. So the phrase B represents deeper gratitude than A. In conclusion; ・ありがとうございます is polite enough to say to those who you need to behave: teachers, elders, people at first site, your boss, etc. However, you can't tell how appreciated you are from the text itself. ・どうもありがとう shows a lot of gratitude, but kinda casual that you better say it only to your friends. Hope this help you. FYI, you can also say どうもありがとうございます as the combination of both :)
