Olá a todos! O meu nome é Diana. Sou da Rússia. Eu estudo português europeu. Eu apreciaria a ajuda de um falante nativo de Portugal. Por sua vez, posso ajudar no estudo da língua e cultura russas, bem como na prática falada do inglês no nível intermediário.

What am I doing here? Hi, my dear friends! I am here because I had been studying English for a long time. I want to know language of Shekespeare and Byron for speaking fluently. I can help you if you study Russian. I am a journalist and a tutor. I am married. I have two children: a son and a daughter. I am here for studying, not for dating.

Why am I studing English? My language partners ask me why am I studing English. It's an interesting and difficult question. I'll try to explain. It is something magic in English words for me. They sound like music, charming and beautiful. They hide a lot of riddles. If I know them I know secret of word birth wich have English roots. Another reason is in my childhood. I am studing English since my school years. It was not hard for me. It was easey to remember words, to build a sentences. I had the best marks and I was fond of studing this language. The next reason is in an opportunity to read books in the original, to see Engish moves and listern songs. Recently I have read a new book about Harry Potter in English. If I can hear the voce of Vivien Leigh in the famouse film Gone with the Wind you nead not translation. The last reason is a drill of my brain. Studing is help me to be in a good feet and is not allow my head to be lazy. I had spoke why am I studing English. Why are you doing the same?

My son's birthday. He is fifteen now. Today is my son's birthday. Fifteen years ago I became a mother. It was a great event for me. I had a very hard pregnancy, four or five times stayed at the hospital. Next Monday I was going to go maternity house. But he decided he was ready on Saturday night when I was sleeping. We was in Moscow. And we planed to go to Sergiev Posad (a small town about seventee kilometres from the capital). We got a taxi and went. My hasband joked if our son would born in the car we called him Mersedes becouse we went by Mersedes. I had a great back ache and thoght I had never gave birth any more. I was young and so silly! But this process had a happy end. My son was born at 9-20 a.m on Sunday. Not in the car but at maternity house. I was happy when it had happened and I am happy today. Thank you, my dear boy!

And today a have only one parthner and he is brazilian. It will be funny but it is a real problem.
