Last week I had a little flashback to my university teaching days 😄

For several years, I worked at a university in Saint Petersburg. I taught Russian to international students from many different countries. Some of them studied physics and mathematics, so sometimes I even had to remember formulas and solve simple problems myself 😅

Recently, my former colleague invited me to join her students on a trip to the Hermitage Museum.

The Hermitage was always the first place I showed my students in Saint Petersburg. In my opinion, if you visit this city, you should definitely see the Hermitage. It is one of the most famous museums in Russia and an important part of world culture.

We walked through the museum, talked about art, and spent time together. It reminded me how much I miss meeting students in person. Online lessons are great, but real-life communication feels very special.

I was very happy to visit the Hermitage again 🤍

Have you ever been to the Hermitage? What would you most like to see in Saint Petersburg? ✨
