The cost is low and you will know 60% of the common language. I would do it in Russia, NOT Ukraine because most Ukrainians mix Russian with Ukrainian in every day speech.That was  what somewhat confused me in Ukraine when I was an expat. To get good you need to talk in everyday situations BUT the majority of people I would interact was mixing the language up. I am talking about the food sellers, etc. Remember this culture is not very patiant when  listening to you try to speak ,so get the basics down before studies.</p></blockquote><p></p>
