Answer 2

Dear Natasha,

How are you? I was so happy to hear from you recently, and finally, I have some time to sit down and write you a real letter. First of all, I want to say how wonderful it is to see you again. I am only sorry that my time in Russia – and especially in Vladimir – is so short. But even though it is a brief visit, it is just so good to see you and to have a chance to talk. Thank you for the lovely teacup. It is wonderful. Only when I got back home and had a chance to look at it carefully, did I realize that it was hand-painted. What a gift, the perfect gift for a person who loves tea and Russia! I will keep it always. I have a small collection of teacups from all over the world, and it is one of the best items. My teaching is going well. I enjoy it a lot. Tomorrow is the beginning of the new semester, so I will have a very busy day. I will have eight English classes a week this semester, on Thursdays and Fridays, which is not too bad.

I am still studying Russian – once a week with my teacher here at the University. And I try to read, watch videos, and speak to whomever I can! I will learn Polish or Czech next! I will do my best to find some spare time for it in the future. For now, it’s enough to just try to speak this language better!

Thank you very much again, and please write when you can.

Much love, Gwen
