First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am a 28 years old man in China. By accident I knew this site and found it is very interesting, so registated. I had studied english at school for 6 years, and I loved it. But very pity, after that, I began to study russia in university, in order to reduce the influence of english as a foreign language to my russian study, I , as well as my classmates, had to try our best to forget english. Haha, I dont know how did you , foreigners, start to learn the second foreign language, but for us, it was indeed the trust. We had to do like that. After four-years study of russian, I found that I perfer english than russian, not only because that russian is much harder to learn than english, but also because that I very admire those around me, who speak very perfict english often. You know, not only in China, especially in this morden city- Shenzhen, it is a very bad thing if you can not speak english. Of course, sometimes, I feel very pride as my talking with russian who dont know english. But afer all, I think it is necessary to pick up back my english. I tried many ways, but got little. I hope to get it with the help of this site, importantly, I will learn live engish. I like communicating with all, sharing the difference between us, and would like and get ready to help you, who are willing to learn chinese. I come from the hometown of Confucius. By the experience of my two foreign languages studies, I am sure that I can help you a lot. At the same time, maybe, I think, it is aslo very interesting to speak with englishspeaking talkers in russian. Let us try it.
