Why Should I Study Russian?

Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world, and helps you to understand many others.

Learn Russian to:

  • Communicate better with friends, loved ones, and other family members
  • Visit Moscow and have a more enriched experience than those who have not bothered to learned the language
  • Listen to and enjoy Russian music
  • Watch shows and movies that have no equivalent in your native language

Knowing Russian can open many business opportunties. With our world being ever more global thanks to technology, knowing Russian can help you build your company and strengthen the ties you already have in a Russian speaking area.

Understanding Russian helps you to better understand your own native tongue and aid you in learning other languages. It will change the way you think and learn over all. You will perceive many fundamentals in a new light.

Studying Russian with a linguistics professor has made me a better lawyer

After struggling while visiting friends and family in Moscow, I wanted to learn reading, speaking and writing in Russian. Colleagues told me not to bother; that I'd never find the time, to just get a phrasebook or use Rosetta Stone, but learning a language doesn't work that way. I needed a real teacher.

My wife found Nina for me and she is the best Russian teacher I could have hoped to find! After 18 months, I still eagerly look forward to my lessons.

[Nina] makes learning fun! I learned a lot of grammar and sentence structure…

Nina Semko is the best Russian teacher I have ever studied with. I started learning with her in April of 2018. The experience has been so amazing! Every week I progress more and more. She makes learning fun! I learned a lot of grammar and sentence structure through music as well as reading Russian novels. She has taught me how to confidently communicate in Russian and we have daily discussions each week. She is very professional and cares a lot about her students. If you struggle in an area, she will make sure that you master it.

I highly recommend Nina Semko for anyone wanting to succeed in Russian.
