🔥 Why is Russian so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Russian. According to experts, you can gain basic Russian fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Russian. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Russian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Russian?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Russian will necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Russian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Russian out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Russian classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Russian tutor?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Russian tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.
🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
