Your mother warned you that it was going to be cold in Moscow. Of course…you are a big university student now-you don’t need her advice anymore. You packed plenty of coats, and jackets, and sweaters. You’ll be fine. Besides, you’ll be inside the Russian university classrooms most of the time anyway! Mothers! You climb off the plane in Moscow and the icy Russian wind blows right through the coat and sweater you are wearing! It catches you by surprise and your feet come flying out from under you as you stumble onto your…umm…nether regions, and onto the icy Russian sidewalk. The Russian flight attendant leans forward to lend you a hand getting up. As you grasp his hand, he tells you in Russian that you won’t last a day in those clothes during a Russian winter! You would think a big university student would know by now that Mom is always right! Learning Russian with RussianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Russian!
