thank you again all of you, been a lot of help and answered my root question, and gave me some great information. I found vk from here, and that is quite the search people engine. I didn't find her on that web site, she has lied to me and I haven't confronted her on it, thinking of just washing my hands of that, and I strongly believe the web site pays the ladies compensate them. No I haven't had much luck with PPS, so that is why I am thinking of just learning the speaking language and actually go there. All the tips here have been very helpful, and thank you all for the warm welcome.

claims she lives in Ivanofrankovsk, Івано-Франківськ
invested into 4 different sites, did some research, next to nothing good on 3 of them. but again, the best thing is just to go there. I am shooting for about a month, but hard to learn a foreign lang. in that time.  It is crazy to spend thousands or even 10 of thousands.. eeck. those men should be jailed, supporting that industry

It is not remotely realistic to think one can learn much Russian in a month.  Many UW do speak English though.

Albert my two cents and that is not much; perhaps you should read some more on RUA.

It seems you have determined that the site that Ms. Ivano-Frankivsk is on is in fact fraudulent and that you do not want to use them. It is interesting that you find the men the guilty parties. Fair enough.

You want to learn Russian or Ukraine language, great & good luck. There are numerous resources on RUA to help you. I would multiply your 30 days by a factor of 100 to gain basic command of the language.

Further have you thought about the differences in Christian faith between an Orthodox believer and your own beliefs, perhaps for your self you better define them.

A moderator here, Chris can perhaps give you some advice, his wife comes from this region I believe.

Again I suggest read here and read some more before you "dive in"

Ladine, your map of Ukraine shows Ukrainian names for all cities except Luhans'k. For Luhans'k it shows the name of the Soviet general Voroshilov. That name was struck down 23 years ago in favor of the previous name Luhans'k.
