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

Safety first because this is going to be the one reason why you download Slowly.

I have made two best friends that I will never forget nor lose contact with.

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.

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.

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.

This application helps to learn English and have friends from somewhere, teaches me to dare to think, communicate, socialize. besides this application teaches me to be patient.

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

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

I took off my mask and for the first time I ever tried to be honest.

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