Learning Russian is more than memorizing words or studying grammar—it opens the door to real connection with people and everyday life. Whether you plan to live in Russia, travel here often, work with Russian speakers, or prepare for residency or citizenship exams, learning the language helps you feel confident, independent, and at home. Russian language classes guide you step by step, giving you the tools to read signs, ask questions, hold conversations, and understand cultural expressions that aren’t always obvious from translation apps. The classroom becomes a community—a place where questions are welcomed, mistakes are normal, and progress is shared.
Understanding Cyrillic: A New Alphabet, One Step at a Time
The Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which may look unfamiliar at first, but it is learned surprisingly quickly. The alphabet has 33 letters. Some look similar to English, while others are completely unique. For example:
| Russian Letter | Sounds Like | Example Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| У | “OO” as in boot | утро — morning |
| Ш | “sh” as in shoe | шапка — hat |
| Ж | “zh” like the “s” in measure | жизнь — life |
Once students learn these basic sounds, they can begin reading words out loud almost immediately. The alphabet becomes less of an obstacle and more of a gateway.
A Supportive Learning Environment
Everyone learning a new language makes mistakes—that’s normal. Russian speakers learning English also face challenges, especially with sounds like “th” in this or think. So, no one in class is expected to be perfect.
Our teachers understand this deeply. They are native Russian speakers who have lived in both Russia and the United States, so they know the common struggles English speakers face. Their approach is patient, practical, and encouraging. They explain not only how to say something, but why it is said that way.
