Way ahead of you, Sergey

[REGNUM] Foreign journalists should learn Russian, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on September 24 at a press conference on the results of participation in the 77th session of the UN General Assembly.
We could leave it at Journalists should learn, and be happy, but if they would take the time to learn the language and a bit of history, the profession would be much less of a laughingstock. Still, that’s why we have badanov and they don’t.
During communication with the press, Lavrov was asked a question in Russian, however, due to the large distance of the microphone from the speaker, the interpreter could not hear the journalist's question. Because of this, foreign journalists were outraged, calling for the microphone to be raised higher.

“Are you saying that you don’t understand Russian?” Lavrov noted.

“Time to learn,” he added.
