Hi there! My name is Kate and I’m a native Russian speaker. I've been living in New York with my family for about four years now. I take professional lessons, but my English is not as brilliant as I want it to be. I like befriending other native English speakers. If you're learning Russian I'd be happy to do a language exchange where we can speak equal amounts of time in each language.

    Hi everyone! Could someone please check my short introduction for an application I'm working on? I would really appreciate it and always happy to help you out with Russian. Thanks! I have a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and almost thirteen years of experience specializing in Business Analytics and Customer Experience Management for the biggest financial and telecommunication companies in Russia. After my family moved to the USA, I began learning English and decided to try myself as a Math Teacher. While enjoying teaching kids math, I realize how much driving the process of problem-solving is for me. I miss the challenges, high-speed dynamic, and teamwork insights I used to have at my work before. Learning new things is an incredibly joyful experience, and I'd like to use my full potential to discover The Data Science field and step on a new stage of my career.

    Could you please check my short request. Thank you! Hi, I was hoping to learn if you could help me. I'm looking for a workplace in Park Slope with individual desks for 10-15 kids. I'm interested in only two hours at the exact day: Thursday, March 19, 2020, 4 - 6 pm. It will be the Math Kangaroo International Competition this day and I'd like our Park Slope kids who love math to have the opportunity to take a part in it. Please let me know if it's possible to rent your workplace for our needs. It's okay if not, but I'd appreciate it for any advice. Thank you in advance.

    Could you please check my phrases for kids? I have my trial lesson as a math teacher soon. Thanks! Comments: 1. I see that some of you are stuck, so it’s better if we solve it together. 2. It’s a quite important point, let’s discuss it. 3. Is it clear for everyone or shall I write the solution down? How to ask children to pay attention: 4. Attention! / Pay attention, please! 5. All eyes on the board, please! 6. Listen to me, please! How to ask kids to be quiet / to make them busy: 7. I’m sorry guys, but when you’re talking I can’t hear anyone’s question. 8. If you don’t focus on the work we won’t finish it on time, which means we won’t get the prize at the end. It’s your choice. 9. Did you already handle this? Would you like to write down your solution on the board for the others? You can always go ahead and solve the next problems. 10. Honey, did you hear how I said we have a break now? Right, because I didn’t. We all are working now. Thank you for making the right choice. 11. All it takes is a little patience. There are just 10 minutes left before the break. 12. Are you tired? Take a 1-minute rest. Cross your hands on the table and put your head on top of your hands. I'd appreciate it if you give me some other examples. Thank you in advance!

    Table 7 - short film (the link and my description) It’s a late evening in a quite big and respectable Chinese restaurant. They both are dressed up and look good, but they aren't enjoying the moment. They are having a fight right over there. The guy reproached the girl that she has been having a sour look and keeps ignoring him. He actually wants to talk about what happened, but she doesn't. Like it's absolutely obvious why she is being like this. On the contrary, he doesn't feel guilty. He thinks that's outrageous and even ridiculous. He is sure he didn't do anything wrong. "I don’t see what’s complicated of this," he says. But she doesn't feel comfortable discussing it in the restaurant. She wouldn't like somebody listening in their intimate conversation. She said, "If it were up to me, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation". "You’re making this into much more of a big deal than it really is", he replied. Then, very unexpected, we see a Chinese guy in the basement, who is nervously smoking and bugging their conversation. He makes notes, trying not to lose the keywords. At first, I thought he is a spy and decoding an important message. When the connection isn't good he bumps his equipment to fix it as fast as possible. However, not all is as it seems. When he realizes that this couple is having a culmination moment and something bad can happen to them. He begins quickly writing something on a manual typewriter. He barely has time to have it done. Because right at that moment some girl is going down to the basement to take away the page he has typed. The next moment we see that the couple gets the check and traditional fortune cookies. Each of them automatically opens it and reads a message. Their faces are changing, they look stunned ... 'A simple sorry between lovers can prevent life-long regrets' was in his message. 'To blame is human, but to forgive is divine' was in hers. He apologizes and sincerely says that he never meant to hurt her. and that he doesn’t want to lose her over something like this. She smiles and says 'Sorry' for being overreacted. They both admit they hate when they fighting. The Chinese guy smiles as well and takes a deep breath. He did a great job and saved their relationship. But his work isn't finished yet and the next table needs their own wisdom cookies. How I wish that guy were by me when it needed. I like fortune cookies and find it fascinating. I always try to apply the message to my current situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-n4eSIsr2c
