Seeking to learn Russian, Italian, Spanish, and French. Will help you learn English.
Hello all. My name is Tracie. I am 37 and live in the United States. I took French in high school but unfortunately did not retain any of it. Now that I am older, I love learning experiencing diverse cultural activities, and as a part of that, I want to learn 4 specific languages: Italian, Russian, Spanish and French. I think they are all beautiful languages and would love to speak them. Spanish, Italian, and French should be similar I think because they all seem to flow in a similar fashion. My rationale for wanting to speak Russian stems from an experience I had after the 9/11 tragedies. I volunteered at a respite center at the ground zero site as an American Red Cross nurse. During one of my shifts, a man who spoke only Russian came in. He was ashen gray, clammy, and clutching his chest. Having experience in cardiac medicine, I knew that the man was having a heart attack, so I knew what to do; however, I felt so helpless because he was trying to tell me something that I could not understand. Prior to my volunteer experience, I resided in an area that was not culturally diverse. I had not been exposed to many people who spoke different languages. I now live in the NJ/NY area and am more exposed to it, so I want to learn as much as I can. That day really left an impression on me and I want to be able to help. If anyone is interested in helping me learn any of these languages, please let me know.

Hello Tracie, my name is Slava and I live in Russia. It's difficult to understand foreign language through different expressions and slang. And only native speaker can gives corrective explanation. I think our conversation will bring us a lot of goods. Because the desire to improove my English is very strong too. Here are not a lot of mistakes, are nor they?
Best regards.
