Guessing languages then promoting an app from @ioriflashcards

He correctly guesses she speaks Russian, they exchange a few phrases, and then he discovers she also speaks Italian, leading to a brief exchange in that language. He then pivots to promoting his language-learning app, showing a graphic for it, before asking her to say a final sentence in Russian for the audience to guess in the comments.
