Study abroad in Kharkov
Hello anybody who cares. I'm Jordan. I'm going to be going to Ukraine soon for a study abroad and I want to improve my Russian. I'm hoping by the time I go in September I'll be able to talk with people and not look like an idiot. So if you could help with that it would be awesome. Also if you have studied abroad there before some tips for survival would also. So respond here or message me on my profile; whichever. Have fun.

Re:Study abroad in Kharkov
I'm going this summer as well for the first time (not to Ukraine, but to St.Peters during the White Nights festivals). From what my classmates who have gone have told me who have gone a few times, you can take Expert Russian here, and you will still look like an idiot when you talk. :)
The important thing I hear, is to try, even if you look like an idiot, it's better to look like an idiot in Russian, then flip out and start asking in English hoping someone will understand.
Of course, any practice you get here won't hurt, but you'll always have that awkwardness about it. :)

Re:Study abroad in Kharkov
Kharkov isn't a russian city, there's many mixes of nationalities at East Ukraine for last years (for example, there's numbers of Georgia-Ukrainian families even since soviet times due valuable south immigration via sea ports in cities Odessa and in Kerch; most of south immigrants is moving to East Ukraine because West Ukraine reject them by menthality).
Jordan, you should go to Moscow for learning russian language properly or you should meet native russian peoples in other places (refugees, for example).
