Studied the Russian language in college at an advanced level, but it's been 2+ years since then, and now I'm once again taking Russian--this time at an Intermediate level. My professor isn't the greatest, so I'm looking for answers to occasional questions I might not be able to answer on my own. Also, having a penpal I can speak Russian with (someone else who wants to practice either Russian or English), would be pretty fantastic.

    Russian Poetry Recommendations? When I took Russian classes in college, we used to read and share poems in Russian to help us learn. This was easily my favorite part of class. A friend from those days and I have decided to start a Russian poetry reading group; we're going to read and translate one poem a week, then get together over coffee and share/discuss our translations. So, I was wondering: what are some of your favorite poems in Russian? (A little background on me: Tiutev's "Silentium" is one of my favorite poems ever, and I really love Mayakovsky as well as Anna Akhmatova). Please tell me what your favorite poems are--names of specific poems (rather than just poets) would be really helpful. Please recommend anything, be it by Pushkin or somebody contemporary! Thanks!

    Can someone tell me how I'd say “Acquiring Editor, Nonfiction Department” in Russian?

    Why am I learning English?

    English is a common language commonly spoken internationally for communication of people worldwide. I want to find many friends from different countries, speak to them and learn a lot about of their culture.

    In addition, there is a lot of information in English on the Iinternet, which that I can use for my professional development. I want to get information and to [[писать <<to>> ешё это грамматически правильно, но не необходимый]] gain experience from different companies and people, who share their solutions. It is necessary to keep abreast of developments to be a true professional [[Правильно, но лучше сказать, <<To be a true professional, one must keep abreast of developments>> или <<A true professional keeps abreast of developments.>>]] 

    Reading books is also an exciting occupation for me. Some books I want to read is are not translated into Russian, but they are in English. Freely reading books in foreign language is great! [[Я думаю что вы имеете, <<Being able to comfortably read books in a foreign language is great!>>]] 

    The last thing I would like to say this is reason has to do with different viewpoints on the news. Now, in the age of information there is the term "information war". Events in the world are interpreted differently. It is necessary to have information from various sources. It's difficult to understand on whose party is telling the truth. Some people manipulate others with false information. It's very sad.

    Jazz may 2012

    Today was a really great day! I got my new credit card after an accident when I had lost it at my good friend's birthday in April (You could also say, "I got my new credit card after losing it at my good friend's birthday in April."  This means the same thing, it just reads a little more smoothly :-)). After getting my new acquisition I went to a concert called "Jazz May" and enjoyed some nice music by Moscow jazz bands. And then I saw great American saxophonist Michael Lington and he was awesome! But it's not end of my first small silly story on italki. When all musicians finished their shows, a jam session begun. I was looking at Moscow musicians and some of them were really nice (I'm not sure what you mean here), but it was a special moment when my drunk friend, co-worker and good pianist Igor invited me to play something with him. Freaked out! I haven't played jam-sessions since 1999. We played 2 or 3 improvisations and then the concert ended. It was a great experience of how you don't have it to do (not really sure what you mean here, either). Ok. That's it.

    Софтбол, 5/20 Сегодня мы с моей командой <<The Misfits>> должный были играть в софтбол против разной команды, но было ошибки с графиком, так мы практиковали. Я обычно играю в правильном поле, но сегодня в практике я была в бейсе секундой. Больше делать в бейсе секундой, и я играли неплохо--я хочу что тренер будет позвольте мне пробую играть в приусадебном участоке ешё (<--I hope that the coach lets me try to play on the infield again). Было прекрасно погода для софтбола--солнце, голубое небо, но не очень жарко. После практикы, мы имели барбекю. пища была восхитительна. Женщины на команде привесли собаки и дети, и даже хорьки! Мой парень ездили с мной. Было хорошая время. Это первый сезон я играю, но мне уже нравиться играть в софтбол.

    I'm having trouble with the possessive pronoun свой. I'm having trouble with the possessive pronoun свой. Is it true that свой shouldn't be used when discussing family members (but often is anyway, for example: <<он любит свою сестру>>)? Second question: Can свой only be used when the possessor and the subject are in the same phrase? So <<У него есть свой дом>>, but not <<Брата зовут Никита, а свою сестру зовут Алёна>>? A few websites have given me different information about the qualities of свой. Some clarification would really help me out! Thanks!

    Fragment of travel.

    ...I got there by bus. The railway station is located near the bus stop and I needed to cross the street, turn left and walk two blocks. I didn't know the foreign language and I used my map. When I arrived at the railway station, I found the cash-desk and bought tickets. Then I put my backpack in the cloak-room and went to walk in this glory city....

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself Здраствуйте! Меня зовут Юля, и мне двадцать четыре года. Я живу в Соединенных Штатах. Когда я была в университете, я занимаюсь руссого языка, и говорю лучше, но было гва года назад. Сейчас, я опять начинаюсь занимать русски язык, и мне чуть-чуть трудно. Я надеюсь искать друзьей по переписке, и помоще. Эсли вы хотите практиковать ваш англиского языка и вы помогите русски язык, будет прекрасно...но если вы только хотите практиковать русски со мной, также будет очень хорошо! Я работаю в издательстве, и живу в квартире с моим пареном. Мне очень нравится читать и писать. Очень приятно!
