Russian Language Courses

Russian has over 258 million total speakers worldwide  and is the most spoken Slavic language, the most spoken native language in Europe, as well as the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia.

Large numbers of Russian speakers are residents of other countries, such as Israel and Mongolia. It is the world is seventh-most spoken language by number of native speakers, and the world is eighth-most spoken language by total number
of speakers.

Russian is the second-most used language on the Internet after English, and is one of two official languages aboard the International Space Station, as well as one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Russia Is The Largest Country In The World
Russia is a mind-bogglingly large country. Fun fact: It’s actually the biggest country in the world by area, and is significantly larger than the runner-up country, Canada (Russia has 6.6 million square miles, compared to Canada’s 3.8 million).

In fact, it crosses 11 whole time zones. Imagine just how much there is to discover in this endless country! A few examples: Russia has a full 29 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Kremlin and Lake Baikal to the Golden Mountains of Altai there is immense cultural and ecological wealth to be found in Russia.

Russian Is A Language Of The Future

The fact is, Russian is far less popular as a second language than, for example, Mandarin — another language even more difficult for English speakers to grasp. This low popularity is a shame because there are a number of economic opportunities currently arising in Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

You may be surprised to learn this too, but it became the internet’s second most popular language in 2013, replacing German, and has remained in
that position since.

Russian Is Part Of A Larger Family

As soon as you learn a bit of Russian, a whole range of other languages is suddenly accessible to you. Russian is a member of the Indo-European language family, and specifically the Slavic family.

Even with just a beginner’s grasp of Russian, you can quickly understand the other Slavic languages.

Stand out in a crowd

Many of us have learned a second language in school, the most typical being Russian, Spanish and German here in the United States. Many universities offer Russian, but not that many students choose to take it. I assume that is because of the alphabet in many cases.

Nevertheless, you will be like a big fish in a small pond if you are one of the few who know how to speak it.
‍Levels in Language:

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) So, what exactly are the different levels of language learning? Well, many teachers and experts around the world use the Common European Framework
of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR has six levels from beginner (A1) to very advanced (C2).
