What a nice video! Thank you for meeting these guests and putting this vlog together. Yes, Sveta is absolutely right - they used to teach foreign language grammar in Russia and absolutely ignored listening-speaking practice. When I moved to US, I could read and understand what I read but I would absolutely be lost if the same exact information was told to me in a spoken manner. It took time for my ears to catch a foreign sound, differentiate the words and make a meaningful sense out of it simultaneously. Joe, one day you ll understand Russian and you won't even register that all of a sudden you reciprocate information so effortlessly, it takes time but time does it.

Lots of people speak English in Russia. But I was surprised, when I visited France, to find that most people there don’t speak English.

Moscow looks gorgeous. Last time I was there was in 2021. And I was amazed how convenient it was there. Clean and safe. Sending hugs to this Slovenian guy!

I think in a such elite business area you can easily find English speakers.

Анна права на миллион процентов! СТЕСНЕНИЕ! Я абсолютно спокойно смотрю ролики на английском, понимаю даже сложные технические термины, но когда доходит дело до разговора... Меня сковывает страх напутать с выбором времени, напутать с выбором артикля, с выбором залога, словом это кошмар и я никак не могу себя преодолеть и разговоры на английском - это то что снится мне в кошмарном сне)
Но стоит мне выпить)
Помню, в 17 году я был в Крыму и мы познакомились с группой итальянцев, так я умудрился провести им экскурсию по Севастополю, рассказать про историю города, историю Крыма, историю России, поспорить о политике, провести 3 часовой разговор о различиях менталитета, о любви и женщинах😂😂
Секрет в том что, в течении всего дня я потихоньку прибухивал)) Самое главное, когда итальянцы на все лады расхваливали мой английский, я как будто на минутку просыпался от этого куража и начинал с ними спорить (опять же на английском) о том что языка то я на самом деле не знаю совсем, что я с трудом могу связать пару слов, что они просто слишком вежливые, что бы сказать мне как ужасно я говорю по английски. С другой стороны, всякий раз когда я встречаю иностранца, который по русски может сказать всего несколько предложений, я всегда счастлив, всегда нахваливаю как чудесно он говорит, что он уже практически русский😂
Джозеф и Анна, спасибо за ролик!

This guy from Slovenia is cool! He is a real friend and he is real Russian! he respect Russian achievements and country more than many “russians”.

I had an American tourist approach me on Red Square and ask me if I spoke English. I said, "No, not a word." and walked away.
I bet she was confused.

I lived in Germany in my younger years and learned several languages in Highschool - naturally English, but in former East Germany also the Russian language. I learned some Russian right after world war 2, when I lived together with some Russian soldiers. I am not impressed by tall buildings, because they also have their problems - living for a long time in Chicago.

As a native New Yorker, who travels through Penn Station quite often, Moscow City looks very similar, and much cleaner!

I like Anna's English. It's fluent, with some Russian word-inserts, bluffy-accent but it's cool! Respect to her not-being shy! Thanks to you, Joseph! People need this kind of content.
Still waiting for you to visit some Russian regional centers (not only Moscow region)) or some kind of video "Across Russia with Roses" 😊

[muhammadnasrozi]

Enjoyed watching this video Anna’s мой преподаватель 😍

[MegaKubanoid]

on the one hand: English is the language of international communication... and on the other hand, the Russian people are self-sufficient and we don't particularly need to learn English

[killerqueen]

I was in moscow in 2019. I got around easily in English. I think people born after 1980 have some English knowledge.

[salomdiga]

Slovenian peacky blinder ! 😂 respect @!!!!

English and Английский
English and Russian suffixes -ский and -ish are related. So learning Russian is like learning a dialect.)

Aryan suffix *-iskos

Russians (at least some) can speak quite decent English, i think someone like me who only knows da and niet could probably get by in Russia until i learned Russian. learning the local language of a country you visit i would consider simply the right thing to do "when in rome" applys to this subject.
another very good informative video for those who are interested in going to Russia.

a little off topic but while watching your videos (and other expats videos) ia thing i have noticed is how clean Russian citys look, my city Edinburgh has trash discarded in the streets because people are too lazy to walk 15 yards to a public bin with their empty coke can or water bottle....which disgusts me

[ЮрийБазарнов-зы]

I would also note such a thing that is important for the locals. Before the construction of Moscow City, this area of the city was the outskirts. There, in that place, there were wastelands and five-story buildings, semi-abandoned industrial zones and former "working quarters" that were not the best for life. Now it is the second center of the city, in fact. It is not always obvious to visitors and new Muscovites how much Moscow has actually changed over the past 20 years.

When I see that English speakers are lost in Moscow or need some other help because no one can understand them I usually come to them and offer help😊

[forgetmenot]

This guy from Slovenia suprised me. He knows not only many languages but history and culture as well! Respect!

[gateclamp]

Just got back from Germany 🇩🇪 their English was pretty solid for people under 50 anyone past 60 I noticed it’s hit or miss

[danilas]

I like how Anna often adds this «ну» (“nu”) while the whole conversation even when speaking English))❤
