Comment (13/02/04): "I'm
not exactly your average student, but I do plan on going to Moscow
in March. I am a US soilder stationed in Korea
and I am wondering how much of a problem would I have in Russia
as an obvious US GI?"
Answer: "Shaun-
Thank you for your note.What exactly makes you an "obvious GI"?
Lots of Russian guys have crew cuts - if that is what you mean.
I wouldn't advise running
around town in your gear of course.
There are plenty of GIs who later come to Moscow - nothing prevents it and I
don't know how anyone would even know unless you tell them. Even if you do, it
is interesting for the average Russian - especially the guys like to compare experiences
in the army, since for most of them it is mandatory
service.
Are you planning to study, or just visiting Russia? If you are interested in
studying the Russian language while you are here, please visit our website (www.sras.org)
and feel free to contact me directly at study@sras.org.

Greetings!
If your aim is to become a professional translator/interpreter, then you are
best to study at one of the linguistic universities. The most well-known of
these are the following:
Moscow State Linguistic University - http://www.linguanet.ru/
Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod - www.lunn.sci-nnov.ru
Irkutsk State Linguistic University - www.islu.ru
Computer studies - this depends on really what your aim is. Programming
would be primarily at one of the technical universities, although other full
universities also offer this. If it is just general use of some
applications, then either some basic instruction could be had at the
universities, or there are a lot of more intensive training centers that
train professionals. This really depends on your purpose and applications."
