GRAMMAR & HOW TO SPEAK RUSSIAN.
In Russian there are no auxiliary verbs – that is, nosuch words as "does" or "is"; also in Russian there are no articles – "the", "a", "an". Hence, in Russian the phrase "What is this?" will be "What this?".
Questions in Russian have simple structure, if, for instance, you want to ask how to get to "Propaganda" night club: excuse me + where + club + "Propaganda" = izvi`nite + g`de + klub + Propaganda . Or you want to buy a ticket to Moscow for train #3: one + ticket + to + Moscow + for + train + number + 3 = o`din + bilet + v + Moskva + na + poezd + nomer + tri.
So, make up simpliest phrases in your language (without auxiliary verbs and articles), use the dictionary of the next sections and then say it in russian.

I'm just looking for a "pen pal" for right now. I'm 48 years old (darn)
Author's answer: Dear Blair,

Actually we are a marriage agency and all women whose profiles are displayed on our website are looking for a husband, and not just a pen pal. You see, they don’t have computers and access to Internet at home. To get a letter from a man, they need to come to our office that may be located on the other part of the city, to find time after work. Having got a letter from a man they like, they every time hope that he may be their potential life partner, a man they will live together and raise the kids. They address to our agency with a purpose to find a reliable man for serious long-term relations leading to the marriage. And, I’m afraid, they won’t be happy to waste the time just for a correspondence for friendship. But on the other hand, from friendship to love is just one step. So, if you are single and are seriously viewing the opportunity to get married to a Russian or Ukrainian woman in perspective, don’t hesitate and join us!
