Can you say what is your occupation in Russian?

Sivitlana, as far as I know the medium of instruction in Russia is only in Russian even for foreign students unless you are a private student=(

Hello Mintesnot,
Thank you for your comment.
I think most of the graduate programs in Russian universities are held in Russian language. However some courses are provided in English as well.
But I am sure there are plenty of Russian language schools for foreigners which are in English.
Would you like to try one of those?

Sometimes I see what i perceive as translation errors for example:
Intermediate lesson 9 Ex with audio- можно быть бедным и морально-
it is translate as= you can be morally poor. is this correct? I would translate that as you can be poor and moral. also wouldn’t морально be моральным?
Thank you.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your questions.
As for the first one, на кого ты хочешь учиться means “what do you want to learn/study” or it also can be translated as “Who do you want to become after studying (graduation)”. Let’s break it down: preposition на means “on, for”, кого means “who”, ты means “you” and хочешь учиться “want to study”. So it is hard to come up with literal translation but the interpretation would be “You are studying for what? or to became who?”. The answer would sound like this:
Я хочу учиться на учителя русского языка. “I want to study to become a Russian Language teacher”.
As for the second question, можно быть бедным и морально “you can be morally poor”, probably the conjunctive и confused you. In most cases it has the meaning “and” but in this sentence it means “also”. So more accurate translation for this phrase would be “you can be also poor in morals” as opposed to being poor in wealth.
Hope my explanation makes sense.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Svetlana

Even the professors don’t know English language. It is terrible studying here unless you know Russian language very well. Or you have to be a private student to get the opportunity study in English. To your surprise when you make a silly mistakes in your Russian language, the teachers get mad at you. oh,,,

Sel,
I know it may be frustrating not being able to obtain a degree in Russian University in English.Unfortunately Russian education system is created according to domestic standards not international ones. That’s why there is still scarse of qualified teaching stuff especially with solid English language ability.
Let’s hope for improvements in near future.
Meanwhile, stay with us and we’ll do our best to help you in you Russian language learning.
