The stat counter shows that 12 people from Ukraine visited my blog today. I really hope that the turn towards Europe will involve learning foreign languages and more Ukrainians will come by the blog.
The way languages are taught in the FSU countries is horrible and really ineffective. One of my professors in Ukraine shared with us that his trip to the UK had become a nightmare. He couldn’t even go to a corner store and buy a pack of cigarettes because he had no idea how to formulate his request in English. He was a professor of English, in case you are wondering.
I make it a point to learn how to order a beer in whatever the language of the nation is! 😉
