✅ Why should you learn Russian?
Russian (русский язык) is an East Slavic language, which is official in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely spoken throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages, one of the four living members of the East Slavic languages, and part of the larger Balto-Slavic branch.
It is the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages and the largest native language in Europe, with 144 million speakers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Russian is the eighth most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers and the seventh by total number of speakers.
✅ How long does it take to master Russian?
In order to learn the communication phrases used by tourists in daily situations a couple days in the language course will suffice. However, if you want to master written and spoken Russian more properly, you should allow one to three years. In order to achieve an academic level, you will need at least five to seven years.
With time and motivation you can master Russian faster. The more time you dedicate to learning the language, the faster you will achieve the result. Daily communication in Russian will be a great advantage. And do not forget the media (radio and television), press, cultural events, music, and films in Russian.
✅ Does your mother-tongue affect your mastery of Russian?
If you speak Bulgarian or Ukrainian or one of these languages is your mother-tongue, you will learn Russian easier and faster. People proficient in Slavic languages will see similarities with the Russian grammar system and words loaned from these languages.
Some important tips in order to master Russian faster:
- Learn each new word in the context it is used in.
- Repeat what you have learned often because repetition is the mother of learning;
- Use both real and virtual Russian language domain;
- Use the media (TV, radio, music, literature, social media platforms) in Russian;
- Read fiction in Russian, start with easy Russian;
- Let yourself make mistakes, use the language, jump in the Russian language river for a swim! You can do it!
