This was my first lesson ever in Russian and my first class with Elena, and it was a very good experience. We covered the basics in a clear and structured way, which felt very helpful for starting to learn the language. Great experience overall.CR, Montreal

Why learn Russian? Besides the Russian Federation, Russian is widely spoken in 16 countries in Eastern Europe, where it is often learnt as a second language. Russia is the largest nation in the world and the 9th most populated country, so you will have plenty of opportunities to practice the language. In addition, Russia is an important player in the world's economic and political spheres, being one of the largest producers of oil and other minerals, as well as a prominent space explorer! Russia boasts a rich culture and long-standing traditions that have manifested themselves in the form brilliant artistic masterpieces.
How hard is it to learn Russian compared to other languages? The Cyrillic alphabet might look intimidating at first glance, but it consists of only 33 characters that are easy to learn, so you should't let that put you off. Also, contrary to English or French, the pronunciation of Russian is simple and regular.
