Russian is a widely studied foreign language among students of all ages, from Francis Lewis High School and Tottenville High School students to working professionals. They usually study the language as part of their school requirement, but there are also college students from schools like New York University who learn Russian out of personal interest or as an added language they can use for future work. Since Russian is an official language of the United Nations and is spoken in most parts of eastern Europe, people who know how to speak it may have additional professional opportunities overseas.

You will have access to expert instructors and competent staff who can assist you throughout your studies.

What material will a New York City Russian course cover?

There are many topics to learn in your Russian course, and they can be quite overwhelming even for learners who already have a background in the language. You will discuss grammar, learn essential vocabulary and useful phrases, and also cover verbs and pronunciation.

One topic that students notice immediately is how gender relates to Russian nouns. This aspect of the language is similar to other major foreign languages such as German, Spanish, and French that all have gendered nouns. In Russian, you can usually tell whether a noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter by checking the ending of its spelling.

You will also learn about Russian's many cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, and prepositional. Cases affect the way words are formed and they also indicate the grammatical function of nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and numerals in the sentence, which is why it's important to have a solid understanding of them if you want to speak Russian properly.

Other materials that a New York City Russian class may cover include Russian culture and literature, such as works from famous Russian writers like Chekhov, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky.

One very helpful feature of the New York City Russian class is that it takes place entirely online. Classes are conducted in virtual classrooms where you can interact with your instructor and classmates as if you were in a regular classroom environment. You will be able to hear, see, ask questions, and practice speaking Russian in real time. This means feedback - something that is very important in acquiring new language skills - is given instantly. This is something that just isn't available when doing studies on your own.

Also, since the class is online, we are able to offer more options when it comes to course times. There are weekday and weekend classes and students can choose from morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. This means you can find a course you can fit in the morning before you go to work, for example, or in the evening when you have arrived home from work.

Whenever you need more help on topics that are challenging for you, you can request one-on-one attention from your Russian instructor. This personalized support can be very helpful for students who are struggling with the language and would like to have more practice time with the guidance of an instructor.
