Useful phrases I should know in Russian but don't

What's the phrase in Russian for

"The tube that connects to my showerhead has sprung a leak and now I can't take a shower without spraying water all over the bathroom." ?

I need to call a repair man... And the prospect is scary enough without vocabulary issues.

On a non related note, are there any learn Ukrainian communities running around by any chance?

Hmm. If you go to Kyiv, Russian is enough for a starter. Lviv or Ivano-Frankivsk is another story.
Honestly, I seriously doubt that somebody in Russian community will wholeheartedly consult you in Ukrainian issues, as well as it is quite unlikely that somebody in Ukrainian communities will praise your questions concerning Russian :)

I should have been more specific. I meant lj community

Also to clarify, I'm currently in Kyiv taking Ukrainian courses and was looking for people to practice with. I have plenty of people to speak Russian with. I just didn't know where to ask. I realize this is outside the realm of a learn Russian community, but whatever.
