Akula, what is the language situation in Kiev? A colleague of mine was there recently and he said Ukrainian was the dominant language now. I don't think I could be bothered to learn such a useless sprache.
Even if Ukranian does become the dominant language, it's not like people won't understand you if you start talking Russian to them. People haven't suddenly forgotten how to speak Russian.
A lot of people are still speaking Russian here.
Yea but you wont be able to understand them.
In the future, I'm imagining a Barcelona-esque situation where they throw a nationalistic temper tantrum because you don't speak Catalan or Ukrainian in the case of Kiev. Its just annoying...
You had any problem with people because you spoke spanish in Barcelona? I do not, and i spoke with a lot of people. Only the most nationalistic morons would mad ea rukus for that.
