Award-Winning Russian Courses & Classes in Jacksonville, FL

If you're learning Russian and you'd like extra study help, you can sign up for a live, online Jacksonville Russian course provided by Varsity Tutors. When you sign up for the course, you meet with your expert instructor online on our Live Learning Platform, as well as a class of other students who are also studying Russian.

More than 265 million people speak Russian around the world, and it's the official language of four countries, plus one of the official languages of the United Nations. If you have to learn a language for a requirement at a high school such as nearby Sandalwood or to get into the University of North Florida or other college or university, Russian is a practical choice that has many academic, business, and potentially personal functions.

What kinds of things will be covered in a Jacksonville Russian course?

The first thing you may notice about Russian is that it uses a different alphabet, which is called Cyrillic. There are 32 letters in this alphabet, and once you've learned the pronunciation of each, you can rely on that knowledge to help you pronounce nearly all Russian words. It's unlike English, where exceptions are the rule.

Most language classes begin with speaking a handful of introductory words and move into rules like grammar and sentence structure once they've absorbed some language through using it. You could be speaking in Russian sentences after your first lesson!

In your Jacksonville Russian class, you'll learn that nouns are split into gender categories: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Nouns also have cases, or different endings, based on the role the noun plays within a sentence. These endings are used to identify logical and grammatical relationships in a sentence rather than word order, which is what English uses.

Each class will be different based on the instructor and the students, but generally, you'll begin by learning essential vocabulary and common phrases. Then you can move into sentence structure and proper Russian grammar. When you stick with it long enough, you could be reading Russian literature in the original language of Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Tolstoy. Studying a language necessarily involves learning about the culture and history of the people who speak it, so you'll probably get to know more about the history of the Slavic peoples.

Can you tell me some of the advantages of taking a Jacksonville Russian course?

It's been demonstrated that working in a collaborative situation like that of a live, online Russian class gives students a better chance of learning and retaining language information. There's no reason you should have to study on your own when Varsity Tutors has already done the work and vetted your instructor, making certain that you'll be taught by a qualified expert who has the kind of communication skills needed to guide students like you in learning a new language.

Enrolling in Jacksonville Russian class allows you to get expert instruction without the cost of individual instruction, which is another benefit. You also have the choice between a two-week or four-week course, which is another opportunity to customize your study solution to your needs.

It's well known that the best way to learn how to speak a new language is to use it. With the ability to interact with your expert instructor and your classmates during your online Russian class, you should have ample opportunity to practice speaking and listening to the Russian language at a level you can understand. If you ever need some one-on-one assistance with a particular topic, you can request individual meetings with your instructor. These lessons can focus specifically on what you're finding especially challenging so you can get caught up as efficiently as possible.
