In Reply to: Does understanding the russian language help.... posted by violinist3 on November 13, 2010 at 18:39:08:
In this one there are only few phrases spoken in Russian, but generally speaking - of course. The subtitles are necessary, but when you speak the language you see how pale and often just outright ridiculous they can be.
Of course when I watch a French or a German film I don't get that feeling, which might be a blessing! :)
The Estonian language is quite close to Finnish... which is to say it is rather unique. It is not a common knowledge that they are related to Hungarian.
The Estonian culture has always been very distant from the Russian, and the republic used to be a popular vacation destination for the people of the USSR.
