Why a student from Bosnia is learning Russian (VIDEO)
"I got to know the Russian language through classical music," says Nikolina Prstojević.
Nikolina from Bosnia and Herzegovina studied opera vocals at school and, because of it, naturally came across works by Russian composers, such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Mikhail Glinka. When she first heard Russian, she didn't understand a word, but she liked the smoothness and softness of the language.
Now, she wants to learn Russian and, this year, she attended the Pushkin Russian Language Institute' s Summer School in Moscow.
