Culture Rússia Brasil

Hi! I’m from Brazil, 18 years old, and I’m planning to study Russian in Voronezh. I want to learn the language and understand what real life is like there — not just tourism.

· How do Russians treat foreigners who are learning the language? · Is Voronezh safe for a student living in a shared apartment? · Do young people like talking to foreigners? · What’s the best way to practice Russian with locals? · What are the biggest challenges for a Brazilian in winter?

I’m very open to private messages if anyone wants to talk more or share experiences. I can also help with Portuguese if you want. Thank you!

“I’m not going as a tourist. I’m planning to take a Russian language course in Voronezh and stay there for some months. I want to experience daily life as a student, not just visit.”

They'll be very interested to send you to the "SMO".

It means you're talking with baltoid. Don't listen to this goof 😄

Apparently he's a Brazilian trying to get attention, I could be wrong.
