Foreign Languages: The language barrier
  • Tip Rating:
  • You won't find many people speaking English or German in Russia, even at major tourist destinations, so a phrase book or a guide is recommended. One tip: learn the alphabet! It'll save you lots of time trying to find out where you are and where you're going. Other than that, the people are open and friendly and it won't be a big problem to get in touch with them. Sharing a wodka or two on a good night out is only one of many ways to get to know some people!
