Kashir: We need to carefully choose the sort of English that we listen to. The type of English that you are exposed to or that you consume, programs your brain to kind of produce that kind of English in return. When we were studying English in Moscow's stand, the University, Moscow State University, we were reading a lot of a newspaper called Moscow Times,. which were written by Russian people who were trying to sound like British people. That proves the point though there that what you listen to is very important because you should try and expose yourself to the English that you want to produce ultimately.
Nikolai Kulikov is an award-winning Russian screenwriter and stand-up comedian. This year he spent a couple of months living in London (and also briefly in Dublin) performing stand-up comedy. I saw one of his performances in English on video and thought he was very funny! So, I decided to contact him for an interview to find out more about him, his experiences learning English, his views on performing to British & Irish people, and how he feels about life in Russia these days. I hope you enjoy the episode! **Please be aware that this episode features some rude language and swearing** Click here for more information
