よくある間違い
In Russian, you don't say 'I am called', but rather 'Me they call'. Using 'Я' (I) here is a direct translation from English that doesn't work.
Never use 'Привет' with superiors or people you don't know well. It can come across as disrespectful or overly familiar.
The first 'в' (v) in 'Здравствуйте' is silent. Trying to pronounce it makes the word much harder to say than it needs to be.
