And how did you meet her, man?
It will work if you both know a sign language... Well, you can get an interpreter. Kinda weird for a date, but what options do you have? A phrase-book?

You'd better begin to learn basic russian man! And you found the right place, that's the good news!

Seriously I don't think it's going to be a problem for you two if you're decided to learn a bit russian before going there! Anyway, good luck!

thanx people!!! i have just started learning russian, trying to speak the very basic anyway, we have a translator, so is it recommended for a bit of exitment?

Definitely better than nothing!
How long do you have before you meet her? You can learn a lot in a little time...

...or, actually, all you need to know is:

Davai potrahae... well, maybe not...!

That's the first phrase I was taught by a Russian woman...

-Fantom

ps- Don't use this phrase in its complete form unless you want to get slapped or you know her very well!

i fly to her on the 13/6/05. . i am nervous, but every guy says go for it, britain bores me, so here i come ukraine. im i crazy?

Yes, but in a good way

Yeah, I would totally do it also! I've only met a few Slavic women (hell, I lived in Iowa until 3 years ago), but all the ones I have met were very cool and good looking!

ps- Someone raised an interesting question before, how did you meet her if you can't communicate?

i met her when she came over to the uk, on an exchange within the hotel chain i worked for. we hit it off, but i was married. 18 months later im not, so i contacted her through sms on the cell phone and a translator on my laptop. now she has a friend that helps with im on yahoo, we talk daily now, but when we meet, it will be a little harder, will it work? i hope so!!

You need no words in love I am sure you will be just fine!

go to rwguide.com, which is a site for guys who are looking to marry Russian girls.
