          I do like the way it is easy to meet a greet in Russian especially with “lets introduce ourselves” is quite normal. I never get a zdrastvuitye, on the phone I get all sorts of greetings such as hullo, ‘darhm, d’ahm churs, and priviat. It's gone down-hill since the CCCP.

                I a also have difficulty saying "please" I find it a hard word that sounds and feels over assertive.

                    You could always try "moshi, moshi". But I think that's for phone calls only.
