About my goal
Hi! Currently I am working for an American company so and I have to communicate with my foreign partners every day in English. But for now My English leaves much to be desired., so if you have time to help me improve my English, I will would appreciate it. In return I will helpl you with your Russian. Thank you.
--Notes--
1. American company
American is a proper adjective derived from the proper noun America, so it must be capitalized.
2. ...and I have to communicate
It is better to use the conjunction and because the second clause does not directly follow from the first. You could eliminate the conjunction and write two simple sentences and it would mean the same thing: I am working for an American company. I have to communicate with my foreign partners every day.
3. improve my English
It is more idiomatic and polite to ask someone to help me improve my X. When you say improve my X, it sounds abrupt.
4. I will appreciate it.
It is better to say I would appreciate it when making a request for help. There is no obligation for someone to help you, so it sounds more polite to use the conditional form of will, which is would.
0 votedNovember 5, 20120- Всем Привет! Меня зовут Артур и я из Бостона из США. Я изучаю русский язык года три, но не всё время, и мне очень нравится. Когда я был в школе я изучал испанский, но мне не нравился. Первый раз я услышал русский язык, я был влюблён. Это не шутка. Мне очень нравится русскую музыка, литература, кино, и так далее. На это время, когда я начал изучать, я не знал как трудно будеть писать, читать, говорить, и слушать по-русски. Всё-таки мне нравится более сегодня, чем ранее, и я хочу делать всё хорошо. Я сделаю!October 27, 2012177
The First Snow
I am from Belarus. Today is October 26th. and today we have the first snow of the season. Outside it is a very cold (we have -3 degrees). all people Everyone is drinking hot chocolate...
--- Notes ---
1. I from Belarus.
In the present tense, use the verb to be. This is one of the more difficult things to learn as a Russian speaker, so it's worth extra attention. I am, You are, He/She/It is, They are.
2. 26th October
We normally write the month first, then the number. Alternatively, you could write 26th of October.
3. first snow
We use the definite article the when we say first snow because it is a special, singular event that happens once per season. It is not just a/any first snow, but THE first snow.
4.outside is a very cold
Outside is a preposition in this phrase (where is it cold? outside). The subject of the sentence is it because you are talking about the temperature. We don't use a/the when describing conditions like hot, cold, warm, cool, and so on. Examples: It is cold outside. Outside it is very cold. It is very hot inside. I am very cold outside.
5. -3 degrees
In the United States, we measure temperature in Fahrenheit, unlike the rest of the world, so if your audience is international, you can avoid any confusion by saying -3 degrees Celsius or -3 degrees Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit and Celsius must be capitalized because they are proper nouns.
6. all people
You can say people are drinking hot chocolate, or if you want to emphasize that every single person is drinking hot chocolate, then it would be better to say that everyone is drinking hot chocolate. Also, since it is the present tense, don't forget to use the verb to be with the verb in the present progressive tense because the action is in progress right now (I am drinking, he/she/it/everyone is drinking, they/people are drinking). Everyone is a singular indefinite pronoun while people is a plural noun.

It was took place a few days ago. I take up on the disision decided to speak with the foriner a foreigner and in order to improve my English. It was worth it. But at the begining of her speach was difficult to understand her. In the beginning, it was difficult to understand her. She pronounced some words sounds not like I studied differently than how I learned, e.g. [difikult] instead of [difikalt], very much[u], love - not like[LAV] [LOV]. Is it an accent?
Yes, it probably is an accent. There is a big difference between English and American accents, not to mention Australian accents and others.
