When you come to Belarus, you are most likely to hear the Russian speaking people only. That’s because for many years the Belarusian language, history, and traditions have been repressed by other states (Russia in particular). People of Belarus have been extremely tolerant to other nations’ traditions on their territory. This tolerance, so praised by everyone who visits Belarus, could have been the reason for dropping our national language.
The Belarusian language is still taught in all schools. There are even kindergardens and schools where all subjects are in Belarusian. Still, there’s no taste of the language outside in the streets: most signs are in Russian and people are too busy to get back to their ancestors’ heritage.
Once I met a person who came to study in Belarus. He was a German and he spoke Belarusian. He told me for him it goes without saying that if you want to feel the real “heartbeat” of the country, you should taste its language.
I think, it might be interesting and useful for you to get to know a bit of Belarusian – to get in touch with our history, culture, and (unfortunately) almost neglected national identity. Here’s a short phrasebook of some popular phrases in the Belarusian language with transcription:
Hello. Вітаю. (vee-TAH-you)
