Well first off , if you are really serious to have a good relation with a Slavic woman - you should just as hard try to learn her language. In general it would mean that you should learn Russian. I myself wouldn't mind to meet with a Slavic woman in her country and with an interpretor - if that is going to make her feel more easy and relaxed. Of course assuming that it is all thrustful and it is not meant to be a scam. You should realize that many young people /students learn English at school.So some of them can have some sort of conversation with a foreigner. If it is in case of an emergency , you can still use Google translate on your mobile phone. Most McDonalds and other restaurants in E Europe /Russia have a free wifi that you can use. There can be several reasons why a woman will /cannot learn English. Most of the times it will greatly depend on her personal and financial situation. Does she has small children ?Is she working long hours every day ? Don't forget that these women /people also work on Saturdays and Sundays. While you may have free weekends the whole year long and also enjoy a 3 or 4 weeks vacation - things are different over there. Most of the time shops close at 21.00 or 22.00 every day. On Saturday and Sunday also - so ... this is a different life than yours. And I will bet that your salary is way more than what they earn every month ... So , you put 1 and 1 together ...
