Those enveloppes ... It reminds me of the penpals from the then Soviet Union, I used to exchange letters with. I was capable of writing in Russian in those days and they would write to me in French. Their French was very good, especially for people who had never been to France.

yes, because you know people usually don't know russian these days. unless they are russians. so your native language is french? are you a polyglot?

I wish I was a polyglot. I'm French and I am interested in languages. I use English at work, but that's about it.
