Just saw this and thought how nice it would be to learn even a few phrases. For anyone who already knows a few Eastern European languages, it’s not a huge stretch.

After a long winter, the short days and dark nights, our cold houses and heavy coats, begin to feel like a prison. They make us go stir-crazy, as we say. But why stir? Is it because the confinement…
