Moscow has new English-language radio station

Russia is apparently not a very friendly place for the non-Russian speaker. All signs are in Cyrillic with no helpful English translation, although English is the most-spoken foreign language by its population.

This may change though, with the launch of Moscow’s first 24 hour English language radio station. The station will mostly play international music, and it is hoped that it will be listened to by visitors to the city to find out about events. Its PR director said she hoped the station would become popular amongst those learning English as well as foreign tourists and expats.

“Today we are opening the first English-language radio station in Moscow. I hope that this station will open our city towards the whole world,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a statement. (Source: Ria Novosti)

English classes are available in Vancouver and Chicago.
