Part 4: Basic Phrases - Russian Language Tutorial

Here are the basic words and phrases, such as "hello", "yes" and "no", which can make your life much easier. Even if you don't have any plans to speak Russian, learning these can be a real ice-breaker when you meet a Russian – they'll love it if you can say "hi" or tell them your age in Russian. By the way, you can also use our This Is Like associative dictionary on the right, to navigate through this section in a more intuitive way.
