- permo-w 6y agoExcellent use of sarcasm, I have to say, but it isn’t an unfair generalisation that Russians don’t speak English very well. English isn’t and hasn’t been commonly taught in Russian schools like in Europe
- aasasd 6y ago> isn’t an unfair generalisation that Russians don’t speak English very well Of that I happen to be painfully aware, along with the country's simultaneous post-SU obsession with English or generally Latin-alphabet branding. The closer I come to proper pronunciation, the more difficult it is sometimes to communicate my desires in a shop (if I happen to wander into a non-self-serve one). I guess I should just be thankful that it's not French, with the more regular spelling but half of the letters being silent.
