Strona 9 – Slowly

Janeth

No she’s not my significant other, she’s not my best friend either. But she’s extremely special…

An ear is what we all truly want and SLOWLY has provided such a great platform.

And to finish this letter, I propose a heartfelt toast to the health of the entire Slowly Community!!!!

This girl two thousand kilometers away, who just wrote to me, a total stranger, here on Slowly, became such a big part of my everyday life.

They have helped me to understand about my own cultural identity – my way of thinking, my way of life. I am a third-generation Nikkei from São Paulo.

I’ve been using Slowly since October 2018, when preparing a post-graduation course applying New Technologies to English Language Teaching.

At last, I found her. I waved at her through the window, our first meeting. We just stared each other for sometime and then I left…

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

He introduced me to Slowly and told me if you’re afraid to say things to your family, you should probably be fine to talk about it to a stranger.

Each letter were songs, stories, interesting questions and interesting nicknames developed into a beautiful friendship.

Politically there are no good relations but through Slowly I made some Indian friends. I am glad to have such a deep conversation with them.
