Незнание языка страны, в которую ты приезжаешь, то есть в Россию, например, - это неуважение. Абсолютное (!) неуважение!!! Это значит, что ты не только не уважаешь русский язык, но и не знаешь (и тебе не интересно!) традиции, историю, культуру,.. Надо уважать язык (в первую очередь!!) другой страны! ... Я изучала португальский язык 8 месяцев перед поездкой в Португалию. Я долго изучала французский перед поездкой во Францию. Думаю, что каждый человек должен приложить усилия (хоть какие-то) в изучении языка той страны, куда он собрался приехать в своем путешествии. В этом проявляется УВАЖЕНИЕ к другой стране, к ее языку, к людям, историию культуре...

Их родители 100% на нём говорят, а они не удосужились научиться. Те, кто хочет - говорят без акцента практически. Хоть чеченец, хоть дагестанец. Акцент - в нём даже своя прелесть, речь не об этом. Условно, у шотландцев тоже довольно сильный акцент, и он отличается от английского (у англичан) довольно сильно, и ещё больше - от американского. И тем не менее, повторюсь: негатив тогда идёт, когда человек МОГ ЛЕГКО выучить, но не удосужился, и не пытается. Плюс, скажи мне, мой "умный друг", кто-нибудь из этих "жителей", как ты выразился, Средней Азии, знает English well? Что-то я сомневаюсь.

Как-то лет 10 назад (смартфоны еще были довольно примитвны) я встретила возле метро растерянного темнокожего мужчину в этнической африканской одежде. Он обращался к людям, но все извинялись и разводили руками. Я подошла, он спросил на французском, говорю ли я на нём. Я ответила, что знаю только английский, но он всё равно протянул мне бумажку, на которой был коряво написан адрес. Писавший явно не знал русских букв и просто перерисовал их как мог. В итоге, минут за 10 разобрались. Я нарисовала ему карту! Цветную! 😂 А благодаря отдельным английским и французским словам, понятным без перевода, а так же ПАНТОМИМЕ, я убедилась, что он понял все обозначения. Если люди захотят, они всегда найдут способ понять другого.

Как-то были под Москвой торфяные пожары сильные летом. И в этом году к нам приезжали ирландцы играть в футбол. Иду я в метро, смотрю парнишка сидит, штудирует карту метро на английском. Я ему помог разобраться, разговорились, спрашиваю - ну как мол тебе Москва. Он такой - классный город, приветливые люди… Потом замялся такой и говорит - только дышать тяжеловато, воздух загазованный. Тут до меня доходит, что он думает - у нас всегда так )) Объяснил ему про это бедствие, ему явно полегчало. Так что теперь стараюсь иностранным ребятам объяснять даже очевидные для нас вещи.

It depends on your motivation and attitude. In an environment where the air is saturated with the Russian language, one would have ample opportunity to pick up the language with some dedication.

I had a work translator for the first 3 months but I ditched him in order to learn faster. in order The Russian company in Primorski Krai I worked for told everyone NOT TO SPEAK TO ME IN ENGLISH . Speaking essential (not perfect but its key to increasing your vocabulary), alphabet essential (street names,metro station names), reading very useful, writing not so important, grammar not really necessary. 30 years later I have not forgotten.

I visited Russia in 2008, 2016, and in 2020. My Russian language skills are at the same level as Scottish Guy but I have found that I could get by OK. The Metro, for example, has more signage in English these days. Many cafes have menus with pictures of the dishes on offer - or simply go to an old style cafeteria where all you have to do is point at the food you want. I was introduced to Liver Cake at a cafeteria in Ekaterinburg by this method. Basic phrases along with humility and respect for Russian culture go a long way.

You can live in Russia without the Russian language. You will cover your basic needs. But you'll miss out on most of the benefits of living here. You will feel lonely, constantly stressed because you do not understand the people around you, and they do not understand you. Communication with society, with people around us, is an important part of the Russian mentality. Be sure to study Russian and you will discover a huge layer of culture that is completely unfamiliar in the West and which you will never cease to admire.

And we do respect foreigners who learn Russian that's true. We know how difficult it is and know how it feels to struggle through language 😅 One more problem is accent. Scottish is unique and a little different from the kind of accent we're used to. So even if you say something simple they might not be able to understand. It happens all the time during classes. Even if they know all the words.. accent matters. BTW Your Russian is pretty good💪🏻keep on going

As a person who live in Moscow and who is native in Russian, I can say we have a little bit less English speaking people in fast food, restaurants, underground services, public transport etc. But we still have quite a few random people on the streets who can understand English and sometimes answer the questions, for example, Moscow is big city, I was born in Southern part and I don't know much about Northern or Western parts for example, I mean some location of shops or museums, so one day I was walking with my wife in VDNKH and some Spanish people came to us and asked where the museum of smth (i don't remember) is, I don't know about exact pavilions, so I needed to check Yandex maps and then answered them. It happened a few times to me when I was walking in the center too. P.S. congrats, your Russian is fine, it's very hard language, even for us, we make a lot of mistakes in punctuation, spelling and other things, so don't worry, wish you all the good man!

Great advice about learnng a language BEFORE you go. I have learned two languages - Japanese and French. Japanese is considered a difficult language. But to be honest I got better at that faster, especially when I was in Japan. The reason was that I did a lot of self-study before I went. For French somehow I did not study that at school. So I thought I would learn it in France - meaning pretty much from scratch. What happened was I got into a bubble where I could rely on others to help with things like tax.But I find if you really have done a solid amount of language study before you go to the country your stay there gets off to a much better start, and you get further ahead there in all sorts of ways.

Historical high points in the past were the driving license, the car crash, the insurance claim, temporarily importing a car into Russia, dealing with getting stopped in my vehicle by curious bored ГАИ/ДПС, and getting to Moscow in a UK registered vehicle. I generally keep quiet and listen to Russian comversations, then surprise them all by speaking.

Почему же не выжить? У нас много людей говорят на английском языке. Просто надо обращаться за помощью к молодым людям. Практически вся молодежь знает английский язык. К людям 18- 30 лет. Они осознано смогут что то подсказать.

Мой английский не очень )))). Прочитать и понять могу, а вот разговорный английский на нуле. А мои дети не особо хотят учить английский в школе. Так что говорить, что молодые люди все говорят на английском, так себе идея. В России в некоторых школах изучают немецкий или французский языки

That is wonderful information. I have a question, how many people have a problem with understanding your Scottish accent? I mean, it obviously is easily understandable, but maybe people with a low level English might not catch some words immediatelly?

English natives with a RP accent tend to judge others purely because of the accent. This applies not only to the immigrants but to their compatriots from other parts of the UK . This is incomprehensible to me really - it creates invisible discrimination within society and for those who don't have the "right" accent the social ascent (it's funny how it rhymes:) is so much harder. I realised early on that no matter how well -mannered the English come across, they will look down at you as inferior to them if you do not meet their standards of communication 😢

Unfortunately in Russia there are no English speakers so residents have no motivation to learn English. It's good that you arrived here.

My ex-boyfriend was from the USA. He learned Russian for me. It took him 4 years to do it. When he spoke in Russian, even his voice changed. I liked it when he spoke Russian, but mostly he spoke Russian only to me, his teachers, and a couple of partners with whom he learned the language for practice purposes, since we did not live in Russia. We're talking like buddies right now. I'll send him ur video)

He just don’t care , starts talking to anyone in English and that’s it , some answer some don’t, so depends on individual persons comfort I guess, for me personally , it’s important to feel comfortable to be able to communicate with people around in the space I’m in

Pro tip: in some difficult situations it's perfectly fine to speak English with Russians under 30 yrs old. Most probably, they know English far better than you know Russian, as they've been taught it in school and hardened their knowledge on the internet - ya know, nearly all of the media is translated to English, but only a part is translated to Russian. So if the sh*t hits the fan, we'd rather straight up speak English than try to understand poor Russian speech)

I experience the same living in the US but the only difference is my native language is Russian. So understanding what waiter meant in restaurant is like 70% intuition in my case. Working as a software developer I can understand 99% of what my colleagues mean. So I would say context is matter and you need to get used to speaking with concrete person. Dont give up. Word by word

Not necessarily. In Moscow almost every street sign is written in both Russian and English, and most businesses have at least a small number of English-speaking employees, and that's if, say, a service you need isn't digitized and/or you need to interact with people at all.
