Calling Your Pretty Russian Girl: Phone Tips

So you have found your pretty Russian girl, your correspondence is in progress and you are ready to talk to her on the telephone. Two problems may occur in this situation:

1/ Your Russian lady doesn’t speak fluent English and is frustrated to talk to you. Did you know that English is still a non-obligatory school subject in Russia? One foreign language is always obligatory but it may be German, French or Spanish as well as English. When a young pupil starts learning at school (it is usually a regional secondary school) he/she usually cannot choose a foreign language to learn, it comes as an obligatory school subject. So don’t be amazed if somebody from Russia cannot speak English at all! It happens often.

Even if she does not speak a word of English tell her that you would like to hear her sweet voice and say “Hello”. If you feel you cannot understand each other, use translation services.

Sidenote: I may assure you, that your lady will start learning English somehow, either at home by herselfself or she will attend some classes if she is motivated. You will see the results (her improving English) soon.

2/ Your Russian bride does not have a telephone. The problem has been lasting since the Soviet times. Many Russians have cell phones though, but not everybody. Cell phones are still very expensive to afford for those ladies who do not live in the biggest cities. (Did you know that the wages in Moscow and St. Petersburg are much higher then those in other regions of Russia?)

Your Russian lady does not have a phone… What should you do?

She surely knows someone with a phone she could probably use. Very politely, insist on a phone number of a friend or relative so you can arrange a call.
Your Russian woman may be using any marriage agency. If they do translations, that would be perfect for you to talk to her there in case you need a translator. Tell her you will call her at the agency and ask her for the best time to call.
Warning: In case you use an agency phone, have some questions ready that only she will know the answers too if possible. As even though calling an agency you will still not know if it is her or an agency staff member you are talking to.

A person who would like to build a good relationship with the other person have to be looking for a way to do it. Isn’t it true?

It happens often with a scammer that the 'woman' who is your interlocutor will claim not to have a telephone. It most cases this is not true. Very seldom will a woman have no telephone, many have a landline and a mobile. It is worth noting that a cautious woman may be reluctant to give out her number until she is convinced you are 'the serious man' but treat with extreme caution women who simply claim that they have no phone. How does she expect to engage in an International relationship without a primary means of communication? Also abandon all ideas that FSU ladies are too poor to buy a mobile phone, it is simply not true, many would rather not eat for a month and have the latest model to pose with.
