American Center

Yesterday we went to the American Center to check it out, and I think I will be volunteering there a little bit this month. What I will be doing is helping out with projects, such as helping Russians find books in the English library at the center on different topics (like on the 40th anniversary of the moon landing they made a presentation and found books on the subject), and helping out with lectures when people from the US embassy come. They give lectures on all kinds of topics, such as preparing for college in the US (can definitely help with that), and on American culture (cooking, etc.). I will also have 1 on 1 conversations with Russians who want to practice their English. If they have trouble, I get to practice my Russian with them, which is good because they usually have trouble with big, complex, abstract words and sentences, and I get to learn how to use them in Russian while they learn them in English.
