Hello, everyone!
Salut, les amis!

Being a French language learner I am always eager to make an order in a restaurant myself without any help of a menu in English (if such exists). Moreover, I need to be very precise about a terrible allergy I have. Otherwise… no more learning, or teaching, or going to restaurants for your teacher Elena 😊.

That could  be the first and most important thing to many of us when we come to a new city, a new country. Find a good coffee shop and get a damn fine cup of coffee. Let’s learn how to do that in Russian.

Hello, Russian Language Learners!
Salut, les amis!

This is 1-minute (or so) podcast on Survival Phrases when you need to buy some medicine in a pharmacy. We all may have headaches or stomachaches on a trip. Even though you might already know how to do shopping in Russian or ask for directions but if you are not well, it’s a relief when you know what to say to the pharmacist in the nearest pharmacy. (Believe me, it’s on every corner!)  
A piece of advice! Check on the internet Russian analogs of medicine that you are used to buy in your home country.
