This is the word “to travel” in Russian путешествовать or depending on the specific circumstance it could be:
попутешествовать .
Do we know who created the name “Llanfairpwllgwyn…gogogoch”?
I have a suspicion it was a Russian who felt the spelling of the destination should be at least as lengthy as the verb to get there!!!

In fact we only use this verb when talking about getting to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
The rest of the time we just say “ехать ”.

While the writer Lewis Carroll was travelling in Russia, he wrote down this word. It means “those who defend themselves” and it looks awe-inspiring.
It’s actually a real word. Not too hard to pronounce.

I will dedicate the next four weeks to learning to pronounce it
I’m highly motivated because it is indeed awe-inspiring
