Dear Ben,

Thanks for your letter. It's nice to hear from you, I’m so happy you started learning Russian. I wish you luck, because it’s not that easy!

Visiting Russia if you learn the language is a brilliant idea! And I’m pretty sure that the best season is winter, because Russian winters are very beautiful, but cold as well, so don’t forget to take the warmest closes with you! The main tourist centers are Moscow and St.Petersburg and I guess you should visit them both, to see the Kremlin and to visit the famous Hermitage. I would recommend you to go to some theater (doesn’t matter in which city) and watch some classical Russian ballet. I would like to travel to Italy because of its culture, food and language.

Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Emma
