x0xLucyMx0x Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'd like to add some vocabulary about the underground/subway/tube system as well. Метро/метрополитен - Subway/underground/tube Cтанция метро - Subway station Линия метро - Subway line Схема метро - Subway map And there are some phrases you'll every time you use the underground in Russia, that you'll soon know by heart. "Осторожно, двери закрывается!" - Caution, the doors are closing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
