🇷🇺 What not to say in Russian:

As with all languages beware of false friends, ie. words that sound similar but have a different meaning.

Don't try to buy a магазин (magazine), in Russian - you end up with a shop. Better ask for a журнал (zhurnal) 📖.

Don't be surprised if someone invites you into his кабинет (cabinet). You're not meant to sit in his cupboard or join his cabinet, you're simply invited into his office 💺.

And watch out for which syllable of a word is stressed as it has an impact on the meaning. Я плачу́ (ja plachU), means «I'm paying» 👛 while я плáчу (ja plAchu), means «I'm crying» 😭 .
