I have just started learning Russian and Iwould really appreciate it if someone patient would try to have a (basic) conversation with me, especially as I am due to go to Russia at the end of August for 3-4 months on a study placement as part of my degree.

I am also interested on any hints / tips / info on the culture. I am going to be based in Moscow at MGIMO if that helps / makes any differenc / is of any interest to anyone!

I look forward to hearing for people! :o)
