Hey there!
You are reading Kelly Morris’ Study Abroad Blog. If you meant to click on someone else’s and your computer has now frozen on mine-welcome! Every week, I will write a short post about my time and experiences in St. Petersburg, Russia. I will be participating in CIEE’s Russian Area Studies program, living with a host family, and learning loads about the Russian language and culture.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot to contribute right now because I am still in the States! My program does not begin until February 2nd, but until then I will be preparing for my semester abroad.
Since I have had a longer break than most and still have some more time before I leave, I have had the chance to do a bit more preparation. This has included listening to a children’s song of the Russian alphabet on repeat and watching YouTube videos on how to say simple phrases such as “Hello”, “Thank you”, and “Do you speak English?”
