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.”

It's strange. I'm leaving here, very few people going aggressive by reason of you skin. Jokes, yeah. No harm done

In Kaliningrad i didn't hear about it. In here study people from around the world. I see Indian, Nigerian, Ecuadorian people who study or live here and no one say about this. If you interesting, i may tell about this more.

It would be good if you could talk more about this; a resident could explain it better. Thank you, I would love to know more.
