Greetings Exchanged on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

• On the first exchange, it is best to be slightly formal even though you have been interacting online for quite some time. Unlike United States, formal tone in Russia is very important. Let the Russian woman take the lead when it comes to talking informally. However, you should lead the first conversation otherwise you will find yourself having to deal with uncomfortable silences.

• In the West, it is quite common to say “How are you?” as a greeting to a complete stranger. The Russian version, “ Kak pazhiVAYESH?” is only asked to people with whom you are quite familiar, so it is best avoided on a first phone call to a Russian woman. Again, try to be formal – this important because the woman expects you to be serious about your relationship and formality re-enforces your commitment, at least initially.

Phrases and Words on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

Here’s what in our opinion you could talk about during your first phone call. You can try to speak Russian but don’t expect to be perfectly understood. Relax. Be calm – first conversation is always the hardest but remember – you are in the same boat with the lady, you are in the same team! It’s best to try to speak English and copy with a Russian phrases. Pause. Ask the lady if she understands you and make the conversation a great fun by trying to learn from each other and make sure you understand each other. Even if takes 10 minutes to get past the first sentence – it’s not about quantity, it’s about making your communication comfortable for both of you. Don’t expect your first phone call to be informative. You major goal is to remove any tension and feel that you are comfortable talking to each other despite cultural and language barriers.

To make your conversation comfortable you have to speak slowly. If a lady knows very little English you should use one sentence at a time. Use Skype to make cheap phone calls and not be worried about costs. With Skype it costs approx. $4.00 to talk for an hour! Do not try to provide to much information. Instead, pause after every sentence to remove any pressure from your conversation, ask if the lady understands you. If she doesn’t, try to work it out together. Even if you can’t work something out, make fun out of it and move on.

• The most important words of course are: “Da” which is “Yes”, and “Nyet” which means “No”.

• The next in importance are “SpaSEEBA”, which is “Thankyou” and “ EezveeNEEte” which mans “Sorry”.
