Euro is a currency, that hasn't changed since last I looked in my pocket. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/30/2008 3:00:39 PM   And Ben, I'd like to bet you as much as you like that all the Dutch team speak English! No English speaking team ..... what nonsense :) ben2006 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/30/2008 3:09:56 PM   Martin, if you say Euro2008 people know what you mean, in fact they'll know exactly what you mean. If you say UEFA EURO people will be confused, you will never hear people refer to it as UEFA EURO. That could be mean UEFA CUP or European Cup. Ok, so I guess you'll be supporting the dutch then :) Actually I'm sure most of the players know english as most play club football in England! Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/30/2008 3:34:26 PM   Well seeing as England is the only country in Europe, indeed perhaps the world, that speaks English as a national language I guess what you're trying to say is that England aren't in it. Try walking into a European bank and talking about Euro, the Euro is a frigging currency.

Never actually seen it do that - and its not listed that way on the exchanges, but I will take your word for it Martin - since you point out that you look at them a lot in your pocket. This story seems to suggest that Kiev is pretty excited about one in 2012. Perhaps only one will be minted that year and it will be celebrated and kept in Kiev. That is a pretty momentous occassion! jetmba.

(See the picture?). nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/1/2008 3:36:53 AM   Jet Good to hear from you again. Yeah, we had a great time in the Keys with Greg and Veta. Jay and his wife Sveta came down also for New Years we had the traditional Ukrainian/Russian New years with the big meal, Jay brought some homegrown Vodka which I can't stand but still had a shot a Midnight. Jay and Sveta are really great people also. Jays funny as hell. Pretty much didn't do a whole lot, well it was done at a leisurely pace. You know Greg, he's one of the most decent human beings I've had the pleasure to meet. The girls went shopping in South Beach and then had to have their picture taken in front of the Versace Mansion. Also they did their fair share of shopping in the Keys. One night Greg and I were just walking around while the girls were shopping and we went into this store that sold Pictures and famous autographs. One of the Displays they had Was a Lennon Album pressed in Riga Latvia by Melody for about $2500. So we got the whole story from the girls how that album was probably was listened to and censored. Funny how Riga got the rights to press the album or it was purely a stolen bootleg. So how was the trip to Ukraine. I've made one of those whirl wind tours with Larissa. I could have told you to avoid the train like the plague. If you want to see the land, get a driver and pay him. More comfortable and less chance of getting ripped off on the train.

Has anyone done this, and can offer advice? Good language schools? (I'm sure you've read a request like this a thousand times before, but please forgive me." Well, I taught languages at university level for quite a while, and I know a few places in Ukraine whee you can find great teachers of Russian. Try the Discover School of Virtual Education. Their email is discover.ukraine@discover-ua.com :) Wishing you lots of patience and motivation! :) Russian is a beautiful but a hard language to learn. beanstobe Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/4/2008 4:52:53 PM   Garthfield In response to Irina's post there seems to be something quite misunderstood beause you want to learn Russian in Ukrania. Ukraine is a country full of mixture of languages. I go to my regular Toaist Tai Chi club in Lvov (my pics is on there website) and everyone is speaking polish - because Polish is traditionally their historical language and the club originates from there so the instructors come from there. Moreover most people in Lvov have either worked (or have family that worked) in Poland. For those that didnt understand polish, the workshops were traslated into ukranian (and then into french for me). Nothing was ever translated into Russian - most people in Lvov do not speak any reasonable Russian. I go down the road to Chernivtsi and people speak romanian - I spoke to a couple of girls in clubs there and they all understood basic (as basic as mine) Romanian. Obviously they also speak Ukranian - but not much Russian. I go to Nikolaev and people speak Ukranian and Russian. When I was in Lugasnk a few years ago - people only spoke Russian. So learning Russian in Ukraine seems strange. I have to say though that Russian is damned useful language: I have to speak to my architect in Montenegro in Russian, and others there as well. It is useful also in Bulgaria and obviously particularly in Serbia and of course other non Ukraine FSU countries. I do want to improve my russian but other than finding a Russian GF I would choose to go to St Petrersburg or Moscow to learn - because you will for sure be immersed in it with the Tele, radio etc - something you wont get abroad in many parts of Ukraine. Thats my 2 cents h-bomb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/21/2010 12:37:47 AM   while it is true that no one knows yet which teams will play in European Championships 2012, and specifically no one knows what languages the teams will speak, rest assured teams from Western Europe and their fans will probably know English as a second language, and will probably NOT know Russian (or Ukrainian). So Ukrainians will want to know ENGLISH to deal with people from Western Europe.
