Russian language or how start to talk

Russia is the biggest country in the world and one of the most powerful. Russian cooperation in the business sphere is going up.

That is why communication skills are perhaps the most important skills to use native language and study a foreign one. Good knowledge of grammar and wide vocabulary are the basis to express our thoughts correctly, but if you want to speak Russian fluently in different situations, only practice can help.

That is why learning Russian becomes a problem that students solve in different ways: some of them go abroad, others enter the Russian universities and find the opportunity to stay in Russia and communicate with people as much as possible. Some of foreigners start from scratch, others have some basis.
Although for the best results you need to immerse in the environment (it is the most effective way to get practice), not every student can afford a trip to an international school. But there is a perfect decision for those who cannot visit an international school – choose the right study program and study online.

So, what exactly you need to know to speak Russian?
- Learn alphabet and read Russian books;
- Learn Russian grammar and punctuation;
- Learn popular expressions;
- Learn a little of history to get to know the Russian culture.

The main tasks that the course solves how to:
- Learn to better understand speech in Russian, to have a good ear for language, to detect the hint of an accent in person’s voice.
- Develop people skills (e.g. presentations, speeches) and dialogue in Russian.
- Prepare to international exams.
- Study some new topics, learn the expressions that you can apply in real communication.
- Learn to think in Russian, not translate from English. The more practice you have, the faster you start think in language, use new words without hesitation, to choose the appropriate grammatical constructions.
- Enrich the vocabulary with modern vocabulary and Russian slang.
- Find different ways of expressing one thought and to choose what is better suited to a particular situation.
- Practicing Russian speech, which students regularly receive during the courses, will help avoid awkward situations at work, at business trips and etc.

Watching Russian serials and movies. Do you like American popular serial “The friends”? So, in Russia there are a lot of funny serials that can help to improve your oral skills: «Универ», «Интерны», and for those who like to cook there is a perfect choice «Кухня».

Reading books. If you want to learn how to speak classic Russian language, you should read Tolstoy, Chekhov and Pushkin. But if you want to speak fluently, you should choose modern authors. You can also use adopted translation of English books.

Listening to music. Songs are perfect to learn Russian slang.

Start thinking in Russian. You can do daily routine work and think in Russian. For example, you are thinking: «I am going to do the dishes and then watch TV». But in your head you need to make yourself to think that way: «Я собираюсь помыть посуду и затем посмотреть телевизор». And you can say in aloud. It helps a lot in the studying process.
