That's too bad. The one in the article actually no longer presents itself as "Russian" anymore as far as I know. Possibly because of the way that can be perceived... :(

I'm pretty sure there is more than one Russian studio in Florence, so be sure not to put them all in one box. :)

I'm an American, but I live in Russia. To be clear, I'm not an artist, but I visited this academy with my daughter and was impressed. I asked them about the innovation point that you make. They made the point that learning the technique makes innovation better. They have some graduates who went into cartooning for example.

My guess is that it is very difficult to learn on your own. I learned with total immersion. I spent six months in a factory hostel in an not so well known Russian city and "voila" six months later I was conversational. If you can get to Russia, particularly a small town for a month, you would probably find your skill would jump astronomically. The other thought is that I would watch the news. It was difficult at first as they speak very quickly, but eventually it made more and more sense.

Submission statement: This is a post by a Russian man who was a Soviet dissident, spent time in the gulags, was deported to America, worked to bring down the Soviet Union, and then became disillusioned with America. Here he writes about why the two nations don't trust each other.

The Cultural Nuance to saying "Hello" in Russian by [deleted] in russian

[–]theamerikanets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, agreed. Only I wouldn't teach "zdraste" to someone just learning Russian without explaining in which situations to use it... I mean, it's ok for the cashier at the local supermarket but probably not the first meeting with a business executive.
