Russian study in Odessa, Ukraine
Has anyone gone to the Ukraine to study Russian as a foreign language? (Russian as a foreign language, does not include a university type of course, but just Russian language study through an accredited institution aimed at non-Russian speakers.)
I was considering Odessa because I was told that Russian is spoken there. I was told it is safer that the major Russian cities and inexpensive.
What do you think???

Unfortunately, not even that's true: there was a case where a bunch of thugs killed a 9-year old girl -- b/c she was African. What scum.
"The night before Mirzoyev was beaten, Zaur Tutov, a popular singer and cultural minister in a north Caucasian republic, was attacked in Moscow by 15 to 20 young men. He suffered broken bones and serious facial damage. The previous weekend, attackers sliced the throat of a 9-year-old girl of African origin in St. Petersburg before spray-painting a swastika on a nearby wall. "
