Aaron J. Svoboda: Video Chat with Russia

I would have to say that the first video chat went very smoothly. At first I was not expecting much and figured it would just be another day in class, but once we got connected and were looking at another class all the way across the world it felt a little weird at first. I was also hoping they would have a larger class like ours so that we could get more feedback and insight, but since it is late in the day there I could see how it would be very difficult to go to class at the time. It was also very difficult for me to understand them, even though we had a great connection, I am just very bad with accents, but on the other hand atleast they can speak two languages, which is something many people can't do. It was fun to learn about the meteor that hit and see a video of it. News like that is always interesting, but I never take time out of my day to look it up. Hopefully on our next chat we can learn more about their daily lives and how they differ from areas. - Aaron J.
