T his book is a Russian language survival guide for men who date or are planning to date a Russian woman. Here, you will find numerous phrases and specific vocabulary that you are definitely going to need when communicating with your Russian girlfriend. I didnt imagine this book. I was not looking up at the ceiling thinking about what to write. The content of this book is 100% real-life language examples between my Russian girlfriend and me while living in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Ive been growing a list of vocabulary and phrases since the very first moment I met my girlfriend here in Saint Petersburg.

Whenever she would say something that I found interesting or something that I didnt know, I would jot it down. I included tender or beautiful words, romantic phrases, slang, colloquial expressions ... everything! To compile this book, I also went through all our written communicationstext messages, Whatsapp, Viber, VKontakte, and Facebook. Please note that I was growing these vocabulary lists for myself. The idea of writing the book came afterwards. So, the communication was not influenced by the fact that I would be writing a book about it later.

Besides a huge list of phrases, this is what youll get in this book:

• Additional grammar notes and word associations (imperfective and perfective verbs, grammar cases, similar grammar structures, associated vocabulary)
• Tips on how to behave with a Russian woman
• Tips on how to approach and meet a Russian woman on the street
• Important elements of the Russian culture

. - o n the street We passed each other near the famous Anichkov bridge ( ) in the center of St. Petersburg. We stared into each others eyes for a couple of seconds and carried on walking. I stopped, and I turned my head back to her. It was late evening, already dark, and it was snowing.

I knew I had to talk to heror at least try. I took a few deep breaths, and I rushed back towards her. Its not very comfortable to approach a girl from behind, especially when its dark and late. The approach must be smooth. In this case, its better to shout lightly four or five meters before you reach her, saying something like ! - Excuse me! as if you were looking for directions. (If you wait until the last moment, when youre just behind her back, she may be frightened.) Thats what I did. (If you wait until the last moment, when youre just behind her back, she may be frightened.) Thats what I did.

She stopped and turned towards me. I caught up with her, smiled, and said, ! ? - Hello, may I get acquainted with you? ... ! Ummm ... Sure! . ? - My name is Angelos, and yours? . , . - Nice to meet you, Katya. . - Likewise. - Likewise.

Then, I said something like this. , , . - You are probably going home, its already late, but it would be nice to walk with you for a little while. She explained to me that she had stayed late at work on that day, and she wanted to go for a walk herself before going home. I kept talking in (courtesy form) for a while. From my experience, Russian women always appreciate that.

It shows respect and good manners. A few minutes later, I asked, ? - Can I speak to you in the first person ()? , . - Of course, you can. I remember it was a really cold night; we were walking either on snow or on ice. But Russian people can enjoy a walk no matter what the weather is like. They are used to adverse weather.

They are patient, and they dont complain. We ended up walking around the city for a couple of hours. We got to know each other. She asked me what the reason was for my trip to Saint Petersburg. I explained that I wanted to make videos for my YouTube channel, communicate with Russian people, and make resources for those who want to learn Russian. Katya walked me around some nice spots in the city and showed me things that only local people knew like the tiny bird statue - by the river or the cats of , , and .

After our nice walk, I offered to walk her home.. - I will walk you home. In Russia, it is a good practice to walk a woman home, especially if it is late in the evening. In this case, she kindly tried to refuse. ? - Come on! , . - Dont think about it; for me, its a pleasure to walk you home.

She does want you to walk her home. Its something that every woman in Russia would appreciate. It shows that you are really taking care of her.

I t was not the first time I approached a woman on the street. In fact, Ive met most of my girlfriends on the street. Why? Because, first, I find it more convenient to get to know a woman on the street, rather than in a 110dB night club environment for example.

Second, I dont use dating apps. Im not against them. I guess there are people who have found their other half () through a dating app, and thats a great thing that technology has done. I just always found it more fascinating to meet someone in a more adventurous way. It was not the first time I approached a Russian woman either. - I dont meet with people on the street. - I dont meet with people on the street.

And I would instantly reply: ! - On the contrary, I only meet people on the street! They would start to laugh and then start talking to me. :) Its a myth that Russian people dont talk or smile at strangers. Since I started Explore Russian, I have talked to hundreds of Russian people on the street. How? I walked up to them, smiled, and said hello. My YouTube channel is full of videos with me talking to random people on the street. Some people are amazed with the positive reactions: T here are always those who will not believe you because of their limited beliefs.

I often see comments like the following: I f you believe that a random person will reply to you on the street, they certainly will. If you are polite and you approach them with a smile, they have no other option but to smile back at you. Its when you lose your confidence that people lose their own confidence, feel unsafe, and walk away. Everything depends on you. They may have limited beliefs themselves like the women who think that its not right to talk to strangers on the street.
