School

This past week was relatively slow because of projects and tests so none of us had time to really go anywhere so I don't have pictures of something new. One thing we have started to do though is bump up the speed that we speak English with the Russians. Since we only have 7 weeks left here we figured that these last few weeks should be more intensive language wise, especially since so many of the Russians said they joined this to improve their English. I think it will be interesting to see how many of them will be able to understand us speaking much more quickly than they are used to, or if it will still just be a matter of them trying to formulate their thoughts in another language. So far they've been coping with it so I think that they are used to our accents enough that speed won't be the challenge that it was when we first arrived.
