Quite enjoyable; and wonderful delivery.

and don't forget entertaining. I like that in a personality!
I found your piece inventive, amusing, and applicable to many of the wider issues of extending oneself through travel or education.
I would be interested in any comments you might have on my presentation, Vremnya - vsyelennoi, comments pa-angliski yazik, pazhaluste.
Balshe spasibo and good luck with your entry!
No people, no language.
Know language, know people.
So goes the old bumpersticker - but it's TRUE!
Lovely piece, creatively put together. Stars to you!

It popped, in a great way. I liked the shape of the piece, your brevity, and hearing you speak Russian. It took me somewhere new.
What a clever entry. I like your voice tons and tons, too.
By the way, you made me remember my first weeks in Austria. It was maddening to hear three-year-olds speaking German better than I could after three years of studying the language in college.
Great to hear that somebody "got it". And yes - those fluent three year olds can really get at you. Fantastic work on your piece! I've always wondered what the secret lives of classical hosts were like. Thanks for shedding some light. I really like the specificity of it and your relaxed pace. Best of luck!
