Hello everyone,

I'm from Brazil and I'm moving to Russia in order to teach English and learn the Russian language. Since I love traveling, visiting nice places and meeting new people will be a fantastic extra!

What I would like to know, in fact, is how much money (USD) would be considered enough to lead a decent life. By decent I mean being able to live, eat and eventually go out for a beer or so.

I appreciate any input!

Hello, It depends where you want to teach. If you live in Moscow it will be more expensive. Why not come to Novosibirsk. You can rent a flat for 20,000 roubles a month, so if you worked for not less than 600 roubles per hour you could do that. If you worked in Moscow, you could earn more, so it is relative. If you lived with a family, you could live very well.

Hey Alan!

Hope Moscow will be very welcoming for you!
Do you speak some Russian already or are you going to start a course here?
You might have got this link already: vk.com, it is a Russian social network you may use to meet other expats, to find students for your classes or to find an apartment (for the latter however the language is probably a must). You can find two groups of expats in Moscow under the following links m.vk.com/workinrussiavk and m.vk.com/moscowexpats. Hope you'll find it useful.
Feel free to contact me about anything in future

Daria, thank you so much!! I heard of vk but I never paid proper attention to it.
I'm currently studying basic Russian and one of my objectives is to communicate well.

again, thank you!!
