A message to friend Hello Bradley! This is Igor here! How are you doing? I'm sorry so much if what I said was confusing, but this isn't what you think it is. Your pronunciation was the best what I have been ever hearing really! No, I am not used to American pronunciation. Actually I wanted to say that I'm not good at English at all and I can't immediately express what I'm thinking in English so It's taken a while to prepare a voice message for you actually. First I study each of your messages very carefully, then I write a response and finally I read what I wrote into the microphone. It's very hard for me but I like this process and I'm enjoying it. My wife's birthday was on Sunday. We all had a good time really. There were my wife's brother, uncle and parents with their wives. We ate many tasty meals such as okroshka it's name of the Russian summer soup it's made from cold kvass with chopped vegetables and meat , also there were chicken's meat and baked potatoes and several salads. Then after a little dancing we watched some TV shows and then all the guests went home. How were you spending this weekend and what news have you recently? Please correct me
