My main area of interest has always been English Phonetics which I fell in love with at the age of 8 because it sounded like music to me. I still love it and believe that speaking a language is a performing art. Later I became interested in Comparative Phonetics (English vs Russian) and factors that cause a foreign accent. This is probably my biggest area of expertise and I will be extremely happy to share my knowledge and experience in this difficult and often confusing field.
