I’d like to suggest collaboration. I’m from Russia and I’m learning English. If you want to correspondense and speak using Skype we could do it together. I’d train you in Russian but you do it in English correspondingly. I’m waiting any offer.
Dan, why just gentlemen? My family name spelling in English is Ladyzhinski, by the way. A word by word translation from Russian or, rather, Ukranian, would give s-th like “Finewoman”. No any hints, gentlemen
For those who learns Russian I’d add, to avoid confusion. “Lady” in Russian does not sound like “woman”, it sounds “fine”. It is “zhinski” which is attributed to a woman or a wife in Ukranian. In Russian it is “zhenskiy”, but this is the same. Half of our direct relatives are Ladyzhenskiy.
