Far from the stigma associated with the former Soviet Union, communism or the snowy plains of Siberia, the Russian language prevails in the upper part of the Slavic languages in all its glory in Eastern Europe.
Official language of several states – outside its vast territory – such as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, this idiom is the 6th most widely spoken language in the world and the most widely spoken in Europe.
This explains the full classrooms during summer and evening courses and the countless requests for tutoring. It is also a clear indicator in terms of the proliferation of new e-learning to learn Russian as a podcast, video and online blog, among others.
Superprof together with his team of Russian speakers has put together a selection of books, online resources and manuals to learn Russian.
We analyze these tools to learn Russian for free in order to progress quickly in written and oral expression as we did in English, Spanish or Chinese.
