Just wanted to say thank you for these blog posts. I am currently learning Russian and I find your entries both inspirational and helpful.

My Dear,

You forgot the only impotant noun, ‘avoska.’ The string bag carried in the bad old soviet days wadded in a pocket that could carry home anything from a kilo of luki to half of a baranina.

You are a treasure, keep writing.

Haha, you are too good for the TOEFL test, your English is very near native and probably better than that of many native speakers.

What do you need TOEFL for? Please don’t say you are abandoning Russia for the US??? !

Hello Josefina, I write the Italian blog for transparent. I thought I’d spend a bit of time looking at some of the other language blogs, and I wanted to say how impressed I am with the amount of work that you have put into the Russian blog. The articles that I have looked at seem really interesting, the only down side for me is that because of the large number of images in your posts the page takes a long long time to load on our slow dial-up connection.
If you have a few spare minutes take a look at my blog: http://www.transparent.com/italian/

A presto, Serena
