.... It will help you alot if you use some Ukrainian words in Kyiv, even though Russian is more prevalent. The people will see that you are making an effort to learn their native language.
No one in Kiev will appreciate an effort to speak Ukrainian. People in Kiev think Ukrainian is village like. You can get you’re ass kicked trying to speak "Ukrainian."
