I even woke up as early as 5am in the morning, to reply his letter, so that we could utilize every hour of the day, and make 2 cycles within the 24 hours!

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

но и помогли мне понять мою культурную идентичность, образ мыслей и жизни.

Позже я познакомилася с тремя друзьями по переписке, которые стали очень важными в моей жизни.

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

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.

В России тяжело найти кого-то, с кем можно свободно общаться, без всяких опасений.

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

I never expected such lively and diverse conversations, which constantly break down stereotypes that I have about other countries.

Я снял маску и впервые пытался быть честным.

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

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.
