What you will do during your Russian for beginners course?

Learning Russian from scratch can be an exciting journey. Here are steps you can take to start learning the Russian language:

1. You will be familiarized with the Cyrillic alphabet, which is used in the Russian language. Familiarizing yourself with the alphabet will help you read and write in Russian. Under attentive supervision of our patient and skilled teacher you will start to read from the first study day.

2. Your will learn basic Russian vocabulary and phrases. You will start with simpleeveryday words and phrases. Your will learn basic greetings, numberscolors, and common expressions. Even after one week of the Russian course for beginners, you will be able to speak basics and introduce yourself. Soget ready to practice speaking from the very first lesson and practice your conversational skills on a daily basis.

3. You will get Russian grammar Basics. Get ready to start understanding basic grammar rules, such as sentence structure, verb conjugation, and noun declension. During your Russian language lessons for beginners you will focus on simple present tense verbs and basic sentence formation.

Be persistent and patient

Certainly, the most important factors to observe during your linguistic journey is patience and persistence. Learning a new language takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. Your teacher will help you to stay motivated and persistent in your learning journey! We advise to immerse yourself in the Russian language. Surround yourself with Russian media, books, and conversations (our lovely Russian speaking Host families will help you too!). Immersement accelerates the learning process.

In addition, remember, everyone learns at their own pace, so don’t get discouraged by mistakes. Enjoy the process and celebrate your progress!
