HOW TO GREET PEOPLE IN RUSSIAN?

New Enjoy Russian video lesson!

What is the first thing you do when you first arrive in a new country? Yes, you greet people you meet. And greeting customs differ from one country to another. That is a really crucial to keep in mind all the details not to offend somebody. Greeting tradition in Russia is also something special.

When you are greeting people in Russia you need to be very careful, because there are informal and formal greetings. And it’s easy to confuse the two when you start learning the language. It is really important for Russians to keep boundaries between people they know well and they don’t. For example it is not typical of Russians to say “Hi, how are you?” to a shop assistant, we are quite formal. In English we use YOU for both cases but in Russian we have ТЫ (informal) and ВЫ (formal).

Watch the video lesson of Enjoy Russian language school to know more! Our guest Jack Lowlor from the USA has been learning Russian for 4 years and is aware of all the obstacles you may face! Find out how to say hello and learn some basic vocabulary you need to know to start a conversation!

5 FACTS PROVING RUSSIAN WINTER IS FOR FEARLESS!

Have reached the lowest point of Mariana Trench? Climbed Everest and took a trip inside in the crater of Icelandic volcano? Unless you’ve been to Russia, It doesn’t really count!After reading this you will probably want to experience Russian winter!

Join “Enjoy Russian” language school and challenge yourself!  

Зиму мы перезимовали, осталось перезимовать весну –  We’ve overwintered  the winter, now we have to overwinter the spring!

1. The weather is cruel. Yes, Russian weather always holds the top positions. The Russian village Oimyakon is known as the Cold Pole of the Earthwhere the temperature might hit -71C! And the locals still live their own lives without any problems. As for Karelia, we can’t be proud of that low temperature but still be ready to 25 degrees below. By the way Russians believe that if people fall in love in wintertime that kind of relations is the strongest and is going to last forever. Because usually people put so many layers of clothes that it’s really hard to see a person behind, not to mention falling in love.
2. Ice swimming is pretty popular. Despite the cruelty of Russian winter people in Russia tend to swim a lot! And we talk about ice swimming of course, not just the swimming pool. On January 19 Russian Orthodox Christians celebrate religious holiday when they can wash away the sins by bathing into the ice water. According to the statistics approximately 5 000 of Petrozavodsk citizens swim in 20 specially equipped spots all over the city.  Even little kids are long to be a part of this Russian Walrus club.
3. 90C in Banya. Some people do not wait for a certain date to enjoy ice cold water. They swim on regular bases after each Banya session. The average temperature may exceed 90C. Sometimes they even spend the whole day in Banya massaging themselves with bunches of dried branches and leaves from bearch or oak, drinking green tea and jumping into the snow.  Banya is believed to be a good option for getting rid of toxins and gaining energy.
4. Ice fishing is not for everyone. What could be more romantic than sitting for 5-6 hours in a row in the freezing cold? Russian fishermen are often called the craziest people in the world. To become a professional in all types of fishing techniques takes time and patience. Some say it’s rather a lifestyle than just a hobby.
5. Holiday season is pretty long. Only the strongest can keep celebrating on and on for 9 days:) The New Years’ Eve and then Christmas. And some family gathering in between. From the Russians point of view the festive season is the good option to prepare yourself to the year of hard work and to make a list of New Year resolutions.

And know you should answer a simple question: are you ready for this? If yes, then come to Enjoy Russian language school in February to take our 4-week course and present yourself unique and priceless memories!

Exactly that distance should be covered if you live in Singapore and want to study Russian in Petrozavodsk. Last year we were happy to host students from this country for the first time.

Tong and Kay Lin

Tong and Kay Lin have been studying in our school for 2 weeks. They tried to do as much as they can. They even visited Saint Petersburg and Velikiy Novgorod while studying in Petrozavodsk. But the main result of their staying in our city is Russian language progress:

«I improved my knowledge in the six grammatical cases and also picked up useful everyday phrases from the program», – Kay Lin

«I improve a lot in speaking and listening and I hope to come for 3 months study in summer period», – Tong.

Get to know Russian culture

Debra
