I am sorry, I clean forgot the punctuation.
- , . It must be , . encoding Cyrillic (ISO-8859-5)- at least I meant it to be such. Russian uses double negation. . . , . , , . . , . , . , , , . 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you, Darobat. I agree, 'must' is too categorical.
Now my suggestions: ( ). . , (, -.). -, "It must be" (!!!) "It should be". , ! (? dear and near?) (): () () ? - (This is unnecessary, the same idea is expressed in the next part of the sentence, thus it's a pleonasm), , ? , -, . , Darobat. , . 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Darobat, you asked how much time it had taken native speakers of Russian using this forum to learn English (I should say, it's a daring way of expressing the idea - learn!). I began when I was 7 years old, have been studying it for 10 years at school specializing in teaching English, then add 5 years of study at the Uni (English philology), plus 15 years of teaching experience, and I can't say that I've learnt English. I am still studying. You know, if vocabulary and grammar rules come relatively easy, authenticity of speech is very elusive. I believe there's no end to mastering the language. I am still working on it, and I still see my own faults and deficiencies.
I was lucky enough to have had some experience of talking to native English speakers, and my observation is that what unites us is the English language, what separates us is our own national cultures. Cultural barrier is more difficult to overcome than the linguistic barrier. Culture is another sphere to be taught and mastered, I am sure of it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I started learning English after school (at 16), and learned pretty much all the vocabulary and grammar I know now during the next 3-4 years, during college (I suspect my grammar now is not as good as it used to be, actually). My accent was quite bad though, and only after I've lived in teh US for a few years and took some special classes I could get rid of most of it.
