Free chess lessons for native speaker of Russian

Hi fellow chess players!

I'm an experienced chess coach and rated 2100 ELO.

I'm willing to give one or more free lessons in chess to beginners in exchange for some help with Russian. I can help you with openings, tactics, strategy, endgames, thinking process... whatever you like - I've done it all before. What I'm looking for, myself, is some help with the following:

- I want to pronounce Russian correctly from texts that I have read and heard; thus feedback is required;

- I have some simple grammar questions;

- I want to be able to say some phrases in Russian and have a simple little conversation with you;

- I have some questions about certain Russian speaking areas for my travelling plans.

This is simple stuff for anyone who is a native speaker of Russian, you don't need to be a professor of linguistics. But you have to be able to speak to me in English!

If you want to make this exchange then inform me on this thread or send me a PM.

Thanks!

 Thanks for the support Ofgeniuskind, I appreciate it. It's just that I'm looking for native speakers of Russian.

On the other hand I think Americans have the best English accents (better than English and Australian accents), so consider yourself lucky. If I were learning English I would ask you for lessons!

Good luck in your chess quest!

In fact there are lots of players round here, including people from the former Soviet Union, who speak and write Russian. Do you intend to use your new skills on a regular basis afterwards? There's no learning a foreign language finally: there's only improving it gradually by regular immersion in it. Желаю Вам удачи. И ярких побед в шахматах тоже.

@LietotajsN:

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I intend to use my Russian on a regular basis afterwards. At some point I would like to go on vacations and eventually move permanently and speak with people. I know that I can't learn the language completely but I want to understand enough so that I can use whatever I know to learn even more by talking to people and reading. I haven't reached that point yet - I only started a short time ago.

I also think that my offer should be interesting to some people here. After all not everyone from the former USSR plays like the great K's (Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Karjakin)!

To you, LietotajsN, I say: спасибо

Well, I already speak a lot of Polish so the Eastern European language family has already sealed my fate! Strangely enough my chess playing ability has not declined because of it...

I speak russian

Moved to Chess Mentor - please advertise coaching services in that category rather than in General Chess Discussion.

OK, will do.

Det er ikke sandt. Det er lige omvendt.

Tjae, sådan er smag og behag forskelligt. Omvendt så er alle ovennævnte accenter bedre end de fleste danskeres, når de prøver lykken på engelsk.

I like the way Danes talk English

And most Americans love a British accent (I used to live in America), but the opposite is hardly the case.

I'm heavily influenced by all the American movies that I've seen. The only thing that's better is of course Arnold Schwarzenegger's famous accent!

I just want to say that I found a solution regarding the chess/Russian exchange so the offer is now not longer valid. Thanks to everyone for their input. 

Regards,
