Study Russian with free Russian lessons

Online Russian lessons or offline Russian classes?

Let’s face it: learning Russian is mostly about perseverance, about committing to improve your language skills one day at a time. It all comes down to the amount of work you put into studying Russian and your willingness to stick to it even when it seems too much to handle.
Being human makes us easily distracted and it can sometimes feel hard to stick to something for a long period of time. But there are solutions out there that can help us out.

• One solution is to enroll in a language school and go to Russian classes.
• A second solution is cultural immersion: going to a Russian-speaking country to live the real Russian dream.
• No doubt about it, this is the ideal way to learn any language because you get to speak with natives, learn their correct pronunciation and live the way they do.

Don’t let this demoralize you! The good news is you can now immerse yourself in a different culture from the comfort of your own home. How? By enrolling in some of the best online Russian courses in the world.

Russian is the 7th most spoken language in the world and the most spoken language in Europe with over 140 million speakers in Russia alone. However, there are a lot of countries speaking Russian or a close relative. For example, if you know Russian you can easily understand Ukrainian and Belarusian. But it doesn’t stop here. A lot of European languages with Slavic roots are similar to Russian. Knowing any of them will make learning Russian easier: Bulgarian, Bosnian, Czech, Croatian, Slovene, Slovak, Serbian and Polish.
What makes Russian even easier to learn is the resemblance of certain words to other languages. For example, about 10% of Russian words are similar to English words (“проблема” from problem, "кофе" from coffee, "хакер" from hacker). There are also some similarities between Russian and French (“кафе” from café), Italian (“пицца” from pizza) and German ("шлагбаум" from barriere). Take this as a good sign. Knowing any of these European languages will make learning Russian a bit easier.
