I want to invite you for experimental english study. From my view point - main obstacles in using english in practical situations is not lack of vocabulary, but lack of self-esteem. Basically russians, who graduate from colledge, have big reserve of knowledge. But, they cannot use it, because of anxiety to say " something wrong". In order to eliminate this internal obstacles, I suggest to use Skype technology for everyday talking with native speakers in USA and Britain. I can give basic instructions, if you like the idea.

For me was difficult to find someone in skype who wants to talk to you in English especially when it is a native language speaker. I visited special sites when you can find one who wishes to speak English(unfortunately I do not remember these sites now - it was long time ago).
why do not you come to our meetings in real live sometimes we have native English speaker?
