Хтонебудь розмовляе англуйською мовою?

Does anyone here speak English? As crazy as it sounds we were pretty unprepared for the almost complete lack of English in Crimea. It has made us realize how much the few English words people have known on our previous holiday and in Kiev really help. What's more our phrase book has been rendered useless by the fact that everyone we come across is Russian and not Ukrainian. We thought the two languages were quite similar but not enough to be of help to us. Needless to say this has led to a lot of monosyllabic conversations and the honing of our charades skills, fun.
