Lucky she understand little of Russian.

Odd. When I went over there to improve my Russian, it was hard to get people to speak Russian with me because so many people were so eager to practice their English with me. A lot of the times it worked out in this odd way where I would be speaking Russian to them, and they would be responding to me in English. (I'll never forget the guy who was giving me walking directions and insisted on giving them in English, and he told me to go "left" at a certain street when, as it turned out, I needed to go right!)
