Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world, with more than 250 million speakers.

So, being proficient in Russian will be crucial to get by. Contact us at Listen & Learn and get started with an online Russian course!
Our Russian instructors
Russian can be a bit intimidating if you’ve never studied it before, as it has a completely different writing system from English, called the Cyrillic alphabet, more vowels (they are 10) and even two letters that cannot be sounded. Plus, the order of words can change depending on case. But don’t let this stop you! Our instructors are professional native-speakers with years of experience guiding students to fluency. So, you’ll not only be exposed to the language from the very first lesson, but you’ll also have access to tips and advice on how to become fluent in a short time.
What you will learn with us
If you’re an absolute beginner, we’ll get you started with our Survival Russian course, where you’ll get familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet and essential vocabulary, like greetings (Доброе утро “good afternoon”) or apologies (Извините “sorry”), so can start to have basic conversations. The more advanced you are (or become), the more your teacher will tailor your lessons to your specific goals and interests.
