If your Valentine happens to be Russian, you might want to update your vocabulary on the subject of love and affection.

However, don&#8217;t throw these words around casually. In Russian culture, the words \u201cI love you\u201d are not typically uttered after every phone conversation or before running out the door for the day.<\/p>\n<p>For listening\/comprehension practice, I decided to include one of my personal favorites, a song by Nikolai Noskov, a former Gorky Park member.
