Elena
I am learning Italian because it is a beautiful language, and I enjoy learning it. In return for your help, I can help you with your English or Russian studies. I was born in Moscow, have lived in Canada for many years, and my profession is translator/interpreter (English/Russian and some other languages). Please note that I mercilessly delete inactive contacts after a short trial period..:)
And, last but not least: I cherish true friends and appreciate a good joke!
