Even Greener Pastures

Yeah, I think I remember that speaking challenge Sudeep is talking about. It's perfect if you need some motivation and encouragement. If you need corrections, however... that's another story. I remember that people were extremely nice and the most popular type of feedback was "you speak very well, keep up the good work" without any criticism whatsoever. Though, again, for some people that's just what the doctor ordered so who am I to judge?

On the bright side, there were audio recordings of people speaking Russian as a second language (hopefully someone found my corrections and explanations useful), and they were very helpful for my understanding of the problems non-native Russian speakers face. So if you're curious what people from all over the world sound like in your native language, it might be a good idea to join this challenge even if you don't want to record anything by yourself.
