Un incontro estivo

So, after a week of sending letters in Slowly, he asked me to meet up...

Some people go to me to learn some French, and I teach them French with great pleasure!

I didn't expect that anyone will ever talk to me like my first pen pal wrote me.

...mi sono persino svegliata già alle 5 del mattino, per rispondere alla sua lettera, in modo da poter utilizzare ogni ora del giorno e fare 2 cicli entro le 24 ore!

I related so much since I just had a "what if" moment then and was feeling rather melancholic.

Ma mi hanno anche aiutata a conoscere la mia identità culturale - il mio modo di pensare, il mio modo di vivere.

Later on, I met three penpals who became very important in my life.

I was anxious and nervous in the beginning, but now I am willing to trust this friendship with all of my heart.

Questa ragazza lontana 2000km che aveva appena scritto a me, un completo sconosciuto su Slowly, era diventata una parte importantissima della mia vita quotidiana.

In Russia it is so hard to find someone, who could understand you and you would talk freely, without any fears!

I want to share some glimpses of my new found friendship, thanks to this wonderful app.
