Whether you attend Allderdice High School, Brashear High School, the University of Pittsburgh, or another school in the Pittsburgh area, you can take advantage of these classes.

So, it's highly advisable for you to look for help outside of school, and you can do that with a Pittsburgh Russian class.

Russian is a Slavic language that's also part of a group of Indo-European languages spoken in many Eastern European nations. Other languages that belong to the Slavic language group include Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Slovenian, Bulgarian, and much more. More than 150 million people in the world speak Russian as their first language, and there are more than 265 million people who speak Russian as an additional language. It's an official language in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Russian is used in United Nations summits as well.

Studying Russian can help you pursue your objectives. Are you almost finished with high school and thinking about attending college? In your applications, you can tell potential schools that you studied Russian to try to increase your chances of consideration. Being fluent in a foreign language really comes in handy if you want to study abroad or live in a different country for a few years. You may even want to become a foreign language teacher to assist any student you may have in the future. Whether you're going to school, working, or you're someone taking up a new hobby, we can assist you with signing up for a Pittsburgh Russian class that aligns with your lifestyle.

What material would a Pittsburgh Russian course cover?

The Russian language has an alphabet known as the Cyrillic alphabet. It contains 32 letters. (There's also a 33rd character, but it's a soft sign that's not a letter.) Its grammar uses the case system, meaning that nouns change their form and have different endings. The case of a noun demonstrates what role a noun plays in a sentence. It's unlike the English language, where word order is used in identifying logical and grammatical relationships. Other concepts you'll need to learn include essential vocabulary, common phrases, pronunciation, and more that your instructor can go over.

How will a Pittsburgh Russian course help me learn?

All lessons in a Pittsburgh Russian course are virtual, and each one is directed by a professional Russian teacher. Every lesson involves you interacting with a teacher and other students in an online classroom. In addition to learning how to speak the Russian language, you and your fellow students can work together to learn about Russian history and culture and even talk about books written by classic Russian authors like Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. Your teacher can even immerse you in the language by conducting entire lessons in Russian depending on your skill level.

There are many benefits to studying with others. For one, it's simpler for you to ask someone for help in case a concept confounds you, which is difficult to do if you studied by yourself. Plus, if you're very knowledgeable in a subject, you can share your expertise to help someone reach for their goals. These study sessions are also beneficial if you have an important quiz or test coming up, and you want others to help you prepare for it. If you need direct assistance in one or more topics, your teacher is more than happy to offer one-on-one help. Before they can teach a class, they're required to go through an interview process to ensure language knowledge and superb communication abilities with students of all skill levels.

Because all courses take place online, you can participate in lessons from home or anywhere else that has a stable internet connection. If you're swamped with other responsibilities like an extracurricular activity or a job, don't worry about choosing between your studies and your obligations. These courses provide flexible schedules with new sections starting every month. Choose to enroll in a two-week course or a four-week course.
