Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com! You are in Russia, but it is time to go home. There is one last thing you must do for your friend before you leave Russia, considering he has shown you such wonderful hospitality. As you were packing, he told you in Russian, “We lost our dog.” The least you can do is help him search for the lost dog. You reply in Russian, “Let’s go. I only have a little time left.” After searching, you find the dog curled up behind the couch. What a relief, but at least you got to repay him for his generosity! But now it really is time to leave Russia. As your friend drops you off at the airport, he replies in Russian, “Make sure you call me when you arrive.” You smile and wave good-bye, saying to your friend in Russian, “Thank you for everything.” You then board the airplane and start thinking about all the wonderful times you have had while in Russia.
