So amazing. 4 hours/day x 5 days/wk + homework- you did just as much to earn that 5. The trip to Mysore is such a good ending to that story. Incredibly well written.

Really liked the way you write about Tamara Vasilevna and your introduction to Russia. I had a similar but limited experience in Tashkent with Tamara Borisovna, (from Siberia) who taught me and my colleagues Russian five days a week until we could reach the standard of foreign students. It helped me with my work and with my interest in understanding Russia. Your posts are very informative, do keep writing about Russia.
