    Hello! It's time to speak Russian, but if you know the words: vodka, matryoshka, balalaika, then you are already a very good start! Hi!
    I'm Elya and you can speak Russian with me, don't even doubt it:)
    Now I am studying in China, but I have not forgotten Russian, I have Chinese friends with whom I study Russian.
    I'm good at explaining everything, especially this complicated and confusing Russian grammar, although believe me, if your goal is to start speaking, then we won't spend much time on grammar.

    Learn Russian in a FUN and EFFECTIVE way! Hey everybody!
    I'm Rita and I'm a professional language teacher (Cambridge CELTA certified) with over ten years experience.
    Why do people study Russian? Because they fall in love with it (or with Russians), because they want to read Tolstoy or because Russians don't speak English (as the saying goes).

    Why choose Margarita Margarita D.
    "I highly recommend Margarita as a tutor - her lessons are well-structured and always engaging. She has a patient, friendly and professional manner. She’s also knowledgeable and explains language concepts in a way which makes them easy to understand, e.g. pointing out helpful connections between words in Russian and English. My Russian is really improving thanks to her lessons!"

Learn Russian Effectively with Online Lessons

Maybe you want to learn Russian for fun. Maybe you want to exercise your brain. Or perhaps you need it to help make your business a serious contender in your market. Whatever your reasons for learning a new language, you’ll need guidance and support.

 

Learning Russian can be a challenge, but the opportunity to have amazing conversations with people of a different culture makes it all worthwhile. But what’s the best way to learn Russian? First, you need to find a great Russian teacher to help you to make progress and improve your skills, no matter what level you're starting at.

 

Fortunately, Preply has a wide variety of expert Russian tutors who can help you. These native speakers can share everything they know to guide you on your journey towards having interesting conversations and an exciting international lifestyle. All you need is internet access, a webcam, and enthusiasm for language learning.

The Benefits of Russian Classes Online

Do you know what teaching method best suits your learning style? Most adults learn most effectively in private Russian lessons, rather than a traditional classroom setting. Not everybody can spend time and money looking for and meeting with a private Russian tutor in their local area though. Taking Russian lessons online can be the perfect way to connect with a great Russian teacher.

 

A professional tutor can provide you with the positive attention you need. They can understand how to pace each lesson so you can learn effectively. A professional tutor knows how to tailor each activity to the learner’s abilities and their previous progress. You won’t get these things in most language schools or classrooms, but you can find them by taking online lessons in your own home.

 

Your Russian teacher on Preply will introduce you to the skills you need to succeed. With personalized online Russian lessons, you can:

 

  • Find Russian tutors for any budget
  • Take Russian lessons at the perfect time for your busy schedule
  • Connect from anywhere
  • Regularly review plans to reach your learning goals
  • Always have your Russian tutor’s full attention
  • Get help from our customer support team when you need it

 

To find the perfect Russian tutor on Preply, adjust the search filters to match your requirements for online courses. Choose your preferred price range, country of origin and availability. Then, you can watch videos, read reviews and send messages to Russian tutors before you book your first Russian lesson online.

A Personal Russian Teacher for Cultural Immersion

The best way to learn a new language is through total immersion with native speakers. Of course, not many people have the luxury of dropping everything and moving to a new country just to speak the language better! However, by connecting with a native speaker during your Russian tutoring sessions, you can experience important aspects of immersion.

 

When you learn Russian online, your tutor will take you beyond the standard vocabulary and grammar. A professional, native-speaking Russian tutor has the experience to guide you through the idiosyncrasies of a language, such as slang, cultural references and the appropriate times to use certain phrases. These aspects can easily fall through the cracks in a standard classroom setting.

 

When you learn with a native speaker, you’ll understand the language on a deeper level. Your conversations will be more meaningful, interesting and fun. When you learn Russian online, you’ll discover knowledge that you can usually only get from being surrounded by the language every day.

Start Having Fascinating Conversations in Russian Today!

Learning a new language will improve your life in so many ways, so look for the perfect Russian tutor on Preply. There's no reason to hesitate. If you have any questions, Preply’s support team is available to help. We look forward to helping you start learning and have the best experience possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🇷🇺 How hard is Russian, and how long does it take to gain fluency?

According to the Foreign Service Institute, it takes about 44 weeks to master Russian. In fact, the language is not as difficult as many people think. However, it is especially important to dedicate time to grammar because it is significantly different from English. To make fast progress, try taking Russian lessons online. You can choose a native Russian tutor who is also fluent in English or other languages. That way, you won't have any problems discussing the language specifics and practice speaking.
 

📖 How many classes will it take to read the Russian alphabet?

On average, it takes 3-4 hours to memorize how to read the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet. If you study with a native speaker, the whole process of mastering the alphabet and the language can be more effective and enjoyable. Take Russian lessons with expert Russian tutors online and practice Russian at any time.
 

⏩ Are there shortcuts to gaining Russian language skills?

The quickest way to gain fluency in Russian is to live in a Russian-speaking country where you'll be surrounded by native speakers. If that’s not an option, it’s still possible to immerse yourself in regular interaction with the language by watching TV shows, changing the default language on your phone to Russian, as well as noting down new words and looking them up from time to time. Of course, a tried and true method to boost your language skills quickly is by practicing with a native Russian-speaking tutor.
 

🎩 Are online Russian tutors expensive?

Some Russian tutors can be pricey, but affordable options are also available. The most expensive ones on Preply charge $80 for a 60-minute online Russian class, but the average is $15, with $3 as the cheapest.
 

🗓️ How many Russian lessons should I take weekly?

We recommend three to four 60-minute Russian lessons per week, in addition to as many hours of self-practice as you can spare. Most people do not advance with just one hour of practicing Russian a week, although five weekly face-to-face lessons can be too much. Russian lessons shorter than 30 minutes are too brief, while sessions longer than 120 minutes suffer from attention span drop, so 60 minutes is a good middle ground.
 

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏿 How many people speak Russian?

In total, there are 258 million Russian speakers, with 154 million native speakers. Russian is an official language in four countries, regional in one, and spoke in 24 others.
 

🎓 What are the most popular Russian language tests?

Have you already taken several weeks of Russian lessons with your Preply Russian tutor? Are you confident in your Russian skills? You could take the ILCE Russian CEFR exam for certification. For those much more invested in the language and culture, the Test of Russian as a Foreign Language (TORFL) for Russian Citizenship is carried out for migrant workers (work permits), those wanting a temporary residence permit, those wanting a residence permit, and those wanting Russian citizenship. This comprehensive exam includes three modules: Russian language, history, and fundamentals of legislation.
