Does it mean that you are ready to speak with everybody?
Please help me to "reconstruct" my knowledge. I haven't practised my English for 2 years. If I don't save my English now, I won't be able to pass my exam in this language. The thing is I want to study at the university. But first I should take an examination in English. If I make mistakes writing this letter, point to these mistakes, please.

Please help me to "revive" my skills. I haven't practised my English since 2 years. If I don't maintain my English now, I won't be able to pass my English exam. The thing is that I want to study at the university. First I have to pass English exam. If I make mistakes in this letter,please, let me know.

Thanks! I'm terribly sorry for my mistakes und unpresice usage of words. Unfortunately I have not enough free time to "revive" my skills. I have a little baby, namely it is a sweet baby-girl named Veronica. She takes all my time and attention. I hope that I will speak English fluently in several months if I do my best. Just believe me, my passive vocabulary is large but it is really "very passive".
I appreciate your help. I would be glad to read your critics concerning all my messages written in English.

Well, as Xo-Xo mentioned, it was a very "free" correction on her part. I'd say most of the changes she made are not really necessary.
- "knowledge" and "skills" are not identical, if you wanted to say "knowledge" you could certainly do that
- haven't practised my English since 2 years is plainly wrong, "for 2 years" is correct
- If I don't save my English┘ - I don't see any problem with this sentence
- take an examination is not a mistake
- if I make mistakes writing this letter √ correct
Your English is not bad at all

To be honest I was also surprised that I had "made" so many mistakes. The problem is I have no books or some other sources to find the right variant of a phrase or a sentence. Your comment is much more helpful as the previous one because you give at least a short explanation. I am terribly proud of reading that my English is not bad at all. But I am affraid that my today's English is too simple. My task is to use not only words which occur in any textbook but also terms and complicated grammatical constructions.
I am waiting for your further remarks with interest.

Hi all!
Now I will try to chat with in englsih. But, I have to say at the begining of my writing, that my english is not the best one . However, on this way I could try (with your help of course) to improove it.
I think the best way to learn it, is to read the books, news papers and some short stories (or also long stories) that are for kids. Chating and comunicate through (?) the forum is the another way. I'm requesting to correct me!
My suggestion is to write here as much as possible, about a special topic. That would help you elvira167 to refresh your skills, it would also help me... and everybody who wants to take part on this "mission".
My problem is that I don't know when to use "the". I'm doing it very offte wrong . I had never english at school, therefore my grammar is horrible.
Today was a hard and long day, I need to submit my theasis in a few days, in english...

In the early days of this forum we started correcting mistakes of each other but somehow it was unpeasant for people who were corrected (even if they asked for it) and boring to all others...

That's right!!!!! It is borring just to correct someones writing To chat about a special topic is quite interesting, to tell something about yourself and similar things...

You have mentioned "a special topic"? Could you suggest a topic? I would like to read or write some humorous stories from our own life. Have you any ideas?

to chat about our own life - that is the best special topic
Let's talk about yor sweet baby or tell where are from... or tell as some funny storry!!!

you're writing you thesis in english? I thought, you have to be perfect in english in order to do it?!

may be... but you can call me Anna

I have got a chance - so I did it. Firstly I did a semester abroad, so I knew the profesors from the current university. I think otherwise I wouldn't be here. My English is not perfect, it would take some years to be as well as the native speackers. However, I started learning by doing. My thesis supervisor helps me (n;o c;o;m;m;e;n;t), he also correct my writing ...

he must be a nice person, your supervisor... I'm sure it's a real advantage to have your thesis written in english! So keep it up!
