If you have toyed with the idea of Russian lessons, we can’t blame you! Tackling a language such as Russian won’t be as simple as just knowing a few handy phrases for a quick vacation. But the payoff will be so rewarding, as it opens the door to a world of new experiences, and is a highly marketable language in business, academics, and government.
Additionally, if you are traveling to Russia, it is very important to speak at least a little of the language. Only 30% of Russians are able to speak or understand English, which is very unique as English is more common among natives in other countries.
Russian has only 33 characters in the Cyrillic alphabet, which is unlike the hundreds or thousands of characters in writing systems for other complex languages like Mandarin Chinese. Once you’ve mastered the structure of the characters, learning to match them with sounds will not be as difficult as many of the sounds mimic those in the English alphabet.
