'My spelling is absolutely appalling but you pick it up as you go. The first thing I learnt was [the Russian for] "Give me a kiss" and then from the app you learn things like ‘I open the window with a crowbar.''
She continued: 'Pasha’s friends are mostly Russian and they were brought up in Soviet Russia and now they’ve come to mostly the States. We go on holiday with them and his mum and his brother as well.
'The first time I met the boys, I spoke no Russian at all. It’s really disconcerting, a bunch of 30-something boys talking and giggling and drinking and I have no idea what they’re talking about.'
The mathematician also revealed how the couple's mothers communicate, despite neither of them speaking the other's language.

She explained: 'We’ve had them together on holiday and the mums just get together and they just look at cat videos on YouTube. The universal language of cat videos.'
During the chat with host Jonathan, 58, Rachel also discussed the social media backlash she received last year after becoming embroiled in the debate about antisemitism within the Labour party.
At the time, the TV star was forced to receive extra security on the Countdown set after being bombarded with abuse from Labour supporters following her critique of the party and its leader Jeremy Corbyn.
She said: 'It was kind of accidental and snowballed exponentially. I am Jewish as far as my mum is Jewish.

'I’m proud of my heritage, I’m an atheist Jew so I’m not practicing, I don’t believe anything. I’m not political.
'I’m interested so I follow the news and I follow everything that’s happening in America and I’m concerned at the state of the world but I wasn’t political.
'I just noticed this creeping anti Jewish stuff going into the press and coming into conversations with people, friends and I just thought it was weird.
'I did one tweet and the amount of abuse I got then, [for example people were saying] "You’re being paid by someone, what’s your agenda? Who is making you say this it’s a lie? You’re just trying to smear, it isn’t really happening".'
She continued: 'At the same time as I got all of this abuse which was shocking, I got all these people coming forward really grateful that I’d said anything because they’d been doing this...
Saying goodbye: Rachel's appearance on the ITV chat show comes just weeks after Pasha quit Strictly after eight years to concentrate on a 'new challenge' (pictured with Rachel in 2013)
'Shouting into the ether for three years and the more I did a couple of tweets, the more abuse you get, the more attention you get and the more stories you get and the more people you meet who are really suffering.'
Rachel's appearance on the ITV chat show comes just weeks after her boyfriend, 39, quit Strictly Come Dancing after eight years to concentrate on a 'new challenge'.
He tweeted in February this year: 'After scoring 93 perfect tens, reaching 4 finals lifting 1 glitter ball, it's time for me to find a new challenge and so I've decided to make last year - my final season on Strictly.'
Rachel, who called time on her 15-month marriage to James Gilbert three months into her stint on the dance show, previously revealed her uneasiness about watching her other half dancing with attractive partners,
When asked about the famous 'Strictly curse', she said to The Sun: 'It’s left its mark. It just makes me feel nervous — so I make myself busy when it’s on. I leave Pasha to it.'
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
