Welcome, Iya! I am from Ukraine, but I have spent the last 14 years in Tampa, FL. So we are almost neighbors!
I re-learn to play the piano alongside with my kids. Guess what my favorite music piece is... "Georgia" by Ray Charles!I share your love of classical music. I also like instrumental music, and recently discovered a wonderful pianist, Giovanni. When he plays, it sounds as if he kisses the piano keys with his fingertips!
I homeschool my three kids. We have a cat named Cream and two hamsters named Pancake and Coffee. So when guests come over for the first time, my kids often ask them, "Would you like coffee and cream?" And when people nod "yes", my kids bring one hamster out and say, "Well, this is Coffee, and Cream is chasing squirrels outside."
You might find "general chat" very helpful in practicing hour speech skills.
Hope to see you here and chat in English or Russian!
