Description

If you think what to start learning Russian from, this course is for you! The course has a very clear structure  and it is based on speaking practice, grammar and listening.

We will start from basics, learning the alphabet, and will finish the course with speaking, already knowing some Russian vocabulary.

You will learn how to introduce yourself in Russian, how to have small talks with Russians, you will learn a lot of useful vocabulary that you will use in your daily Russian life. Also you will know a lot about modern Russian traditions and about Russian mentality.

This is an intensive course of Russian language. Sometimes you can feel discouraged, as Russian is not easy. It requires discipline. It will take quite a while before you will feel confident in reading, writing and learning. If you keep practicing, however, one day you will suddenly realize you start speaking without even thinking about it, and all the hard work was worthwhile.

The more practice you do, the easier it will be to learn new words and absorb grammar points.
