Дорогие друзья, позвольте представить вам моего знакомого православного американца. Он скоро приедет в Москву на некоторое время и очень хотел бы общаться с православной молодёжью, но пока не знает русского языка. Поэтому он будет писать на английском. В общем, прошу любить и жаловать.
Александр Брукс (norespite)

I'm looking forward to meeting Orthodox youth in Moscow. I hope some of you speak English because it will take me awhile to learn Russian. I am 19 years old. I like singing in choirs, especially Orthodox music and classical music. I hope perhaps I will be able to join a choir in Moscow. I will arrive in Moscow on Wednesday, September 23 and will be staying in a dormitory at the Moscow State University.

Please write to me directly to my email, since that will be easier for me: michaelbell1008@hotmail.com

See you soon.

Michael

Так мы его вроде как уже знаем. )

Знаем-знаем

Который женат на Солнечном Зайчике?

Ребята, учитесь, пожалуйста, читать внимательнее. Похоже, что вы не только по-английски, но и по-русски читать не умеете! Даже Ваня, как тебе, Ваня, не стыдно!

Мой муж пишет "хочу представить моего знакомого", он только представил Майкла по-русски, чтобы вы поняли, что он не совсем "c улицы", а свой человек.

Майкл совсем пока не говорит по-русски и просит ответить ему тех, кто говорит по-английски. А о чем он просит, пусть прочтут те, кто читает по-английски

Да, Вет, мне стыдно - не сразу въехал в текст.

He can come to us onto the akathist or partake in the piligrim trip to Godenovo.

Может вы ему поможете на форуме зарегистрироваться и мы уж с ним тут по-английски наобщаемся?

Ваня, перечитай еще раз, пожалуйста, ВЕСЬ первый пост этой темы. Майкл уже зарегистрировался - мы ему помогли - под именем M-Bell. И он действительно ждет, когда же вы с ним в этой теме начнете общаться по-английски.

Hello Michael! Were your parents or grandparents born in Russia?

Ребят, только без обид! Вы сделали столько грамматических ошибок в одном предложении, что ваш западный друг вряд ли поймет...
Спаси Господи!

It's no problem

I think it's better to say:
"Have you any parents or grandparents who were born in Russia?"

Please correct me if I a mistaken.
