Join our community in this inaugural episode which offers some personal accounts of how young Russian people began studying English, and their challenges along the way. What kept them going, even when it was difficult? Do their stories remind you of your own? Also, you'll get a recommendation for a great short story, and hear an amazing joke-of-the-day! The creative team for today’s episode was Anna, Alexander, Alexandra, Artyom, Egor, Katerina, Svetlana, Tatiana, and Vadim. Connect with us at https://vk.com/raaas2023
