Nice to meet you Опции

[M-Bell]

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

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

It's no problem

Let's learn English and improve our grammar and correct mistakes.
I hope Michael will help us.

Are your parents or grandparents were born in Russia?

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.

No, not at all. It was easy to understand and I'm happy that people are willing to write to me in English.

[M-Bell]

Michael, have you ever been in Moscow before?

What would you want to see and whom would you want to meet?

No, I haven't been to Russia before. My father and my older brother have been to Russia, but I haven't. I will be in Moscow from September 23 to Decenber 18 and then I plan to return again in late January until the end of April. My plan is to study Russian and to meet Orthodox young people and to visit Orthodox holy places and places of historical and cultural interest.

[M-Bell]

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

No, we are not Russian. My father's family originally came from Scotland and then my great-great grandfather married a Cherokee Indian and they lived in Indian Territory in Oklahoma. My mother's family is mostly of Irish descent.

My brother and sister were born in Scotland, while my father was at university there and later was a minister in the Church of Scotland before he converted to Orthodoxy and then was ordained a priest. I was born in California and was baptized Orthodox.

Hello Iban. I do not arrive in Moscow until September 23.

[Елена П]

Hello, Michael!
It's nice to greet you here and it's wonderful that we're becoming more and more international: we know more and more Orthodox people (Americans and British) who want to visit Russia and comunicate with Orthodox youth here.
I have a question to you: I wonder what image you have about our country before you visit it. What is the image of Russia in general in America?

[M-Bell]

Hello Elena, I am also glad that we are able to communicate before I have arrived

The image I have of Russia isnt very detailed since I have only seen photos of some of the famous places, but I know Russia is a very very large country and its culture is very different from other cultures that I have experienced in my travels. Also Russia has a very rich heritage and many holy places which I am looking forward to seeing. I mainly see Russia as a completely new experience, I expect it to be very different from other countries and places that I have been to, which makes it exciting for me.

As for the image of Russia in general to most Americans, that is a very difficult question. Unfortunately most Americans are ignorant about Russia, of course the Orthodox Americans know more, but obviously there is no way to generalize an answer for all Americans.

[Елена П]

Thank you, Michael, I see. Of course it´s difficult to say for all Americans.
And what about Orthodox literature in America - do you have oppurtunity to read, for ex, the heritage of St Fathers of Russian, Greek and other origin. Are they translated into English?
It's ineresting to know whether it is as easy to get various kinds of religeous literature in America? And how varios is it?

[MKP]

Hello Iban.

Correctly, it would be iOne

[Sanya]

Hello Michael! My name is Alexandra. I`d like to know how did it happen you were baptised as orthodox christian? Is it hard to be an orthodox in America? As I know normally americans are not of the big opinion about russian people and all the things connected with us

[Солнечный Зайчик]

Ну вот Майкл и уезжает... Очень жаль, что никто не захотел откликнуться и (кроме праздных вопросов) помочь человеку познакомиться с Москвой и русским Православием и православными...

Эх, где же русское гостеприимство? Очень хочется надеяться, что это только из-за незнания языка.

[Дмитрий И.]

Почему не смог, я же предлагал свою помощь, и ждал звонка.

[Солнечный Зайчик]

Ну не знаю, видимо, он такой человек немного застенчивый, что ждал инициативы с вашей стороны.

[Дмитрий И.]

Ну, да ладно).
Передавай привет! Бог даст, може в следующий раз встретимся!

Вот Дмитрий из Америки к нам доехал:
