" Your English is good, don't worry.You will understand what I say in class. Where do you think your Korean is at?" "Не беспокойся, у тебя хороший английский. Ты поймёшь всё, что я буду говорить в классе. Как ты думаешь, где твой кореец?" "Is it the same Russian that is used in Russia?" Yes.

Nezza, Jason, K P ~ спасибо! :)

Of course, we DO have lot s of variations of Russian. It just doen't matter: not being a linguist one can hardly know they exits) As it comes to Central Asia - no, the difference exist, but not much of it. What's important - is how well your fellow Uzbek is educated, and was the Russian his mother tongue. There're 2 or 3 differences in pronunciation of literary Russian, of which non-linguists are informed. But in this respect Uzbek variation doesn't differ from central-Russian.

Yes, there is a difference between uzbekistan russian, kazahstan russian, and the other russian speaking countries. i know that, coz i was born in Uzbekistan and grew up in Russia, after coming back to Uzbekistan i've heard some phrases, which were strange for me, but now i got used, and don't think they're strange.

you're welcome :)
