A Russian Phrase for Asking How Someone Gets to Work: "Как ты добираешься до работы?"

"Как ты добираешься до работы?" means "How do you get to work?" and it's the basic Russian expression used to ask how someone commutes or usually gets around. It's a handy conversation starter. To answer, you can say something like "Я езжу на метро." (I take the metro). You can keep the conversation going by reacting with something like "Это удобно!" (That's convenient!).
