Does anyone know when this weekend's Skype session will be? If it turns out that I'm able to do it, I'd like to, but I'm not sure what I should do (I see posts mentioning emailing people and preparing dialogues or something like that).

I got a mail from Tecktight with some basic dialogues, I think you should provide her your e-mail adress and ask her to send it to you.

There is a young moskovite that has been kind enough to read my log, his name is Mark, I asked him if he would like to join our team, I think he would be a very valuable asset because he is a Russian native speaker.
Also, if any of you are studying Spanish, don't forget I am a native speaker, so questions and doubts are welcome. ¡Yo les amplío sus dudas con mucho gusto! :)

Also, I forgot to mention that I found two great websites for finding language partners.
1. sharedtalk.com
This one is put out by Rosetta Stone, but it's a great way to connect with people who speak your target language.
There are always people online, which is the best part, and not only that, but there are instant messenger
and voice-chat systems built-in to the website.
Specific to Russian is the following:
2. http://masterrussian.com/blpenpal.php
I've already found and Skype'd with two Russians so far. It was super interesting/helpful. The basic deal, usually,
is that you help Person X with whatever language they are learning (usually English), and they help you with
Russian, in turn. Highly recommended!! |

This is exactly the kind of resources that we need to exploit from the internet. Thank you for the tip.

Here's a little jewel from youtube: Fedor Chalyapin sings Glinka's romance "Doubts". Also the lyrics. Enjoy it.
http://youtu.be/Vr85SD5KhHI
Фёдор Иванович Шаляпин поёт романс Михаила Глинки "Сомнения" на стихи Нестора Кукольника.
Уймитесь, волнения страсти!
Засни, безнадежное сердце!
Я плачу, я стражду,-
Душа истомилась в разлуке.
Я плачу, я стражду!
Не выплакать горя в слезах...
Напрасно надежда
Мне счастье гадает,-
Не верю, не верю
Обетам коварным:
Разлука уносит любовь...
Как сон, неотступный и грозный,
Соперник мне снится счастливый,
И тайно и злобно
Кипящая ревность пылает...
И тайно и злобно
Оружия ищет рука...
Минует печальное время,
Мы снова обнимем друг друга.
И страстно и жарко
Забьется воскресшее сердце,
И страстно и жарко
С устами сольются уста.
