What language(s) do you know well? Slovenian, Croatian, English
What language(s) do you want to learn? Russian and Polish are the ones I'd like to learn the most, in fact I am already home-learning them both (mostly by myself), but I thought it would be nice to fasten up the learning process by getting a tutor..
I already know how to pronounce stuff in both languages, and I can read Russian, although the cursive is giving me a little trouble.
Will you be paying your tutor? hmm well.. if there is something in my "for trade" or "for trade as well" folders that they want, sure, but otherwise probably not.. like idk
Are you going to teach somebody a language(s) you know well? I can teach Slovenian (I know 2 different dialects + pogovorni jezik, you can pick which do you want to learn) and Croatian (dialect of Međimurje), I guess I could also help with English if someone's having trouble with it..
Do you want to be paid? Nah
Other: Since my first and second language are a lot more similar to both Russian and Polish than English, I'd love it if I could get a tutor that knows the basics of either Slovenian or Croatian - so instead of teaching me of the differences the language has with English they'd point out the differences with Slovenian or Croatian.. I know that there are some things, especially regarding grammar, and pronounciation, that are a lot harder to explain when comparing the language to English, such as shapes (nominative, genitive etc. which don't even exist in English but they do in both my languages)
So it would be preferable, (but not neccessary) for my tutor to be aware of things like that..
I would also prefer it if my tutor is a native speaker of the language they're teaching, and not someone who has learned it outside of the country where it is spoken.
Another thing, if possible I would like a tutor who regularly visits deviantArt, as it is a site I visit every day (I can't guarantee coming to CS so often..)
I'll update this post when I find the tutors, so if I haven't edited it it means I'm still looking for tutors!
