"I'm new to this, so here goes…" has been my catchphrase for the past week. I didn't go on to describe a fondness for country walks and pub lunches, but with all this profile viewing and message exchanging, I feel as though I may as well have been using match.com. I've not been looking for love online, though, I've been trying to find an online tutor to teach me Russian. Actually, I've had a couple of bad dates and even stood someone up (sorry Elena).
Dodgy dates aside (let's blame the Moscow - London time difference), I opted for UK-based Russian native Olga, a tutor who took pity on me after seeing my desperate plea on thetutorpages.com. I liked what I saw on her profile – a friendly, methodical approach with an emphasis on fun.
She specialises in adult learning and is used to teaching via Skype too. I also spotted that she gives bookkeeping classes, so if this wedding budgeting gets out of control I might just ask to switch classes.
Another bonus is that she offers a free 30-minute trial lesson, which seems like a good way to ease myself in. We arrange to meet the following Monday night at 8pm. I'm excited.
By 7.59pm on lesson day that excitement has turned to terror. I've come over all shy, with butterflies in my stomach, as I tentatively click Voice Call with my face so close to the screen that Olga gets a beautiful view up my nostrils upon answering. I'm not quite as clued up on Skype protocol as she is, and she asks that I stop moving around so much (I think I had a nervous twitch).
The nervousness evaporates, thanks to Olga's relaxed approach and reassuring smile – even when I'm repeating everything she says with an accent that's more Compare the Meerkat than Anna Kournikova.
Olga is encouraged that I already speak a second language, so begins by pointing out the similarities between French and Russian words: the French for ticket is billet, Russian is billet. Maman and Papa translate to Mama and Papa.
She also tells me to make connections with how words sound to an English ear – the Russian for sandwich is buterbrod (butter on bread). This may sound like a pretty boring sandwich, but I won't forget what it means.
Because I have a short amount of time and I'm only seeking to learn the tourist essentials, Olga and I agree to begin by learning vocabulary without concentrating on grammar or the Cyrillic alphabet. That way I won't get too daunted.
I say not too daunted, although I struggled to get my mouth around the formal word for "hello". While the internet now tells me it's zdravstvuyte, what I had written down was something ending in "quiche"…perhaps the mention of buterbrod had made me hungry. Easier to pronounce and scribble down was privet – which is a more informal "hi".
So after my first half hour of learning Russian, I could go to an informal cafe and demand a sandwich – no small talk. As appealing as this sounds, I'd better arrange some more lessons. This time we schedule a full hour, and I promise to spend half an hour an evening practising. The following night I celebrate with blinis and vodka. Unconvinced that this was the homework she had in mind, I resolve to start those online exercises tomorrow…
