Ahh.. I guess it could be prying, but my teacher and I talk a lot about her daughters! I always walk with her after class, so we always have random conversations. Always in English though.. I'm not that fluent in Russian yet.

I was just looking for some conversation topics in case the conversation dies. Plus, she likes it when we go out on our own and learn new words and sayings.. she says it gives her a sense of pride knowing that people are interested in the language.

I guess I would to.. I mean, Russian isn't an easy language! I can see why people wouldn't approach it with a five foot stick! :p

Thanks! :)
