Singapore Expats

Hi there,

I used to learn russian for 4 years when I was in High School (more than 10 years ago..) and, as I hardly practise, I am forgetting everything...

I called many language schools but even if they advertise saying they have russian lessons, they never open any course because they don't have enough student. OK, I know you don't really need it in the everyday life in Singapore but it is a beautiful language!

If anybody around here could give me lessons, it would be great.

Or if anyone else want to learn the language, we could try to open a class in any language school (some are having budget fees, quite interesting).

And last question but not least: does anyone know a russian restaurant in Singapore?

Thanks

There is no russian restaurant here.. well, at least any I'm aware of. Russian cuisine is not so great for local climate.

I'm Russian, so if you so interested in practice then we may chat sometime over a cup of cofee for example. Not sure about lessons though.

Thanks for answering,
OK for a coffee, but even if I am trying hard to study it, I forgot almost all my russian so I guess the chat will be mostly in english... Or you talking russian and me trying to get the meaning! I am far from being fluent
If you are OK with that, you can contact at [email protected].

Objection! There is a Russian restaurant in Sg, although I've never been there:

Shashlik Restaurant. Far East Shopping Centre, next to Singapore
Hilton, 545 Orchard Rd, #06-19 Tel:6732 6401

But I'll take xiao long bao or gyoza over pelmeny any day, spasiba

Oh, thanks for the update. "Shashlik Restaurant".. it sounds something like Nigiri Chinese Restaurant to me

hi there,

i learnt russian recently and now find myself with no opportunity to practise here in singapore.
i'm only in singapore for no more than 6 months and hope to move to central asia thereafter and if anyone knows of good places to learn (without costing an arm and a leg) or if anyone speaks russian as a first language and is willing to befriend and assist me i would greatly appreciate it.

my email is [email protected]

spasiba.

I'm Russian and I've just called this restaurant.
Yes, they have Russian cuisine but there are no Russians in the kitchen.

I've been there a couple of times, the chefs are experienced and Hakka (a dialect of chinese who're famous for their cooking skills). Try their Frozen Alaska - $16... excellent!

Out of curiousity, I just wonder how many Russians are out here in SIN ? Any "get together" occurances ?

mrak.

Yippee. Just moved to Sin from Moscow, and am missing Russia and all things Russian... Am up for meeting up and chatting with any one of you who is keen. Suggestions for time/place?
