Besides its home country, Russian is also an official language in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Students from schools like Detroit Service Learning Academy or Mumford High School may enroll in a Detroit Russian class to fulfill a school requirement. Adult learners like college students from Wayne State University may be studying Russian as their second language or for work. Russian is an official language of the United Nations, so there are also people who study it in order to land international diplomatic positions.

What material will a Detroit Russian course cover?

Russian is a Slavic language, which is a group of Indo-European languages spoken in most of Eastern Europe. You will learn the different characteristics of the language in your course. Beginners will study the Russian alphabet, also known as the Cyrillic alphabet, which has 33 letters. You will also learn pronunciation, basic grammar and sentence structure, and essential vocabulary and phrases.

As you progress in your Detroit Russian class, you will study noun genders. Russian has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Gender affects how words are formed, so it's important to remember them if you want to have an easier time with grammar.

Russian also uses a case system. Cases change the forms of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns and they represent the grammatical function of those words in the sentence. There are six Russian cases:

• nominative - shows the subject (doer of the action) or the predicate;
• genitive - shows possession and negation;
• dative - marks the indirect object;
• accusative - shows the direct object;
• instrumental - shows how the action is done; and
• prepositional (or locative) - shows where the action takes place.
