[Joe] Tommy, how was the English of Ukrainian women?
[Tommy] Joe. How is the English of Ukrainian women.
You know what it almost depends on which city you go.
Because the smaller towns of course they're not gonna--not as many gonna speak English,
obviously, but a lot of them actually surprise you.
A lot of them do understand a lot.
They just don't feel comfortable speaking it.
[Joe] Right.
[Tommy] Now and unless they're feeling comfortable speaking it, then they're not gonna do it.
[Joe] Yeah.
[Tommy] They're perfectionist like that...
[Joe] Until they know you're really well, then they'll start to feel a little good about that.
[Tommy] Bigger cities like Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov:
You're gonna find more women who who do speak English because they're around it a lot.
[Joe] Yeah. Well, guys don't let that be your barrier.
They don't speak English, they can learn English.
They can't learn civility...well, they can, but it takes a long time.
You can't learn--sometimes--like compassion, like the other.
These things, these qualities that we look for in people.
It's very difficult once you get past a certain age to actually learn that,
to acquire those qualities, but to acquire something like English-speaking ability...
pretty much anyone with motivation can do that.
