Russian is an easier language to learn than English. But for native English speakers, it might take a while to grasp the general concept. Its basics are pretty similar to other European languages like French. Most Russians don't speak English so it might be difficult initially to get your point across. But Russians are generally good-natured(although they look unfriendly) and as long as you show interest in them or their language, it's pretty easy to make Russian friends. Learning Russian is crucial for clinical years. Russian patients usually don't speak English.

they should get russian teachers that can speak english as well as russian to teach foriegn students, not teachers that only speak russian , how on earth are we supposed to ask anything.and they should be patient also.
