In Russia, Alfred studied chemistry under Professor Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin.  He also achieved fluency in five languages; Swedish Russian, English French and German. Alfred had a wide variety of interests ranging from chemistry and physics to English literature and [[poetry]].  In order to widen his son's horizons, Immanuel Nobel sent Alfred abroad for further training in chemical engineering and in a two-year period he visited [[France]], [[Germany]], Sweden and the [[United States]]. [[Paris]] became his favorite city and whilst working in a private laboratory there he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of the volatile and unpredictable, powerful explosive; [[nitroglycerine]].  Alfred took an interest in this unstable compound for which he saw great potential if it could be tamed.
