Russia and English

If I was a native English speaker and was an English teacher, I would work in Russia. This idea comes from my last trip to Istanbul on new year's holiday. I stayed in a hostel and shared a room with a Russian couple and a German guy. I went for dinner with them on the evening of the new year's eve. The woman of the couple spoke fluent English. She is an English teacher and runs a launguage school in Moscow. According to her, launguage business in Moscow is really profitable. The most popular is, of course, English, the second is Italian. She had opened Japanese courses recently. She made a joke about me that I would be a well-paid Japanese teacher in her school. I laughed at her offer and crucked a joke in return that her English business would be expanding in 2008 because the British Council in Russia had been orderd to close and loads of students would rush into her school. All of us had been laughing during the talking. It was a really funny and interesting dinner in Istanbul. It situmulated my interest in Russia. I felt how Russian people enjoy their economic grouth and how English has become important in Russia for the decade. I wuould like to go to Moscow in the near future. I think Russia and Britain must get along with each other.
