Actually, I think there is one country that takes на in correct Russian: and that is Украина, although the Ukrainians don't like it.

@tarvos My book said that as well, but my wife told me that it's not used like that anymore nowadays. It was a normal thing when Ukraine was a part of CCCP, but now only some old people refer to it as HA.

Young people say like that too. They usually don't think of that.

As fabriciocarraro said, the use of на and в depends mostly on the noun. Technically на
means on and в means in, but certain nouns always take one instead of the other (на
стадионе, в квартире for example), but sometimes both can be used with slight nuances in
meaning. For example, "Он играет на скрипке", but "он играет в хоккей".

На стадионе, в квартире are obvious examples. Стадион does not have inner space, it
cannot be used with в.
Играть на скрипке, в хоккей here играть have very different meaning.
That is like when to use in, on, at in English.

My teacher, indeed, said the same thing.

It's she. But my guess is that the Ukrainians dislike it and the Russians don't care?
