lyrics

It’s Valentine’s Day in America and all the lovers are celebrating their special day.
Seeking refuge from the wintry February weather, the table is set: candles, sweets, a
bottle of Charles Shaw’s finest. There’s only one thing missing - a date. Sometimes
despite one’s best efforts (in any language), the object of one’s affection remains
forever out of reach...

Follow along with the recording to get familiar with these useful words and phrases,
and maybe you’ll have better luck than our unfortunate protagonist.

Let’s go to the movies
Давай пойдём в кино

Wanna go to the restaurant?
