My name is Irina. I am a Russian language teacher. This is my podcast, where I speak Russian slowly, simply, and in an interesting way. I take topics from textbooks but tell real stories.

In this episode, we dive into the essential do's and don'ts of visiting someone in Russia. You'll learn how to be the perfect guest, from bringing the right gift to navigating cultural etiquette like removing your shoes at the door. We’ll also share tips on what to expect from your hosts, how to engage in a friendly conversation, and why following certain traditions is important. This guide will help you feel confident and welcome in any Russian home.
