Kazan — summer 2010

Part of the arrangement for my renting this apartment was that I would tutor the owner's daughter in English. She's had a lot of training already, and her grammar skills aren't half bad, so really she needs reading, listening, and speaking practice. For this afternoon's practice I used a set of materials where we discussed P Diddy's recent lavish birthday party for his 15 year old son. In retrospect I have to laugh. I never expected to discuss Diddy in Russia. Heck, I don't even like rap.
