Hi. I'm 28(m) looking for English speaking practice. I can read / listen in English reasonably well, but it gets really awkward whenever I have to speak English at work.

I'd like to meet a person with whom we can meet via zoom / goggle meet once or twice a week for 30 - 60 minutes for speaking practice. I don't need perfect English from you, just a conversation partner. Although, if you are willing and able to correct my mistakes it would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, I can offer in return about that much as well. Can't teach Russian from scratch and don't really remember any grammar rules I was told at school.

So... looking forward to meeting you!

P.S. Ok. To be absolutely frank, I'm not that much of a talker even in Russian. Kinda shy and awkward. But I promise to give it my best shot!

P.P.S. Due to lacking proper social skills I understand I may say something rude without intending to. Please don't be offended, just point it out and I apologize.

P.P.P.S. Still looking forward for meeting you ^__^

EDIT1: I see some people jockingly offer even programming languages... can offer some Ruby / RoR experience :D

  • Yes, I’m interested in a regular meeting! :) native English here and functional Russian (with plenty of room for improvement)

    Thanks for the link, I'll be to check it out. If you want, we can still chat about Russian / English even if it's not something regular / a one time deal. See no harm in giving it a try :)
