Why Learn Russian?
Perhaps, you want to learn a new language but you haven’t made a final choice what exact language to study.
Here are the reasons to learn Russian:
First of all, the study of Russian introduces you to one of the great cultures of the world. Russia continues to be a major player in the global community in many different areas: politics, economics, space-age technology, and the development of new computer software.
Second, the Russian language will open up so many new opportunities for students, scientists and entrepreneurs.
Third, Russian is considered as beautiful language, Russia has a tremendous literary heritage – it is the language of authors of literary masterpieces: Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Akhmatova, Lermontov, Turgenev, Yesenin, Bulgakov… You know, poetry is what cannot be translated!
Fourth, it is the common language of all Eastern Europe, and most of Asia as well as parts of the Middle East. Even in the USA or in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, you can find people that you can speak to in Russian. It’s a very useful language.
Fifth, on the contrary, perhaps, to the image you have, the Russian people are often very warm and passionate, especially when you get beneath the surface, and strong friendships can be made. Having knowledge of the Russian language will be an invaluable entry into the Russian’s world.
Sixth, Russia offers unique travel experiences, especially to those in search of an intrepid journey!
Russian is also an international language! It’s no less important than English!
And please, do not be intimidated by the Russian (Cyrillic) Alphabet and Grammar. Successful Russian learners know that it’s no big deal! Grammar is not that important for the very beginning! Unless of course you happen to love learning grammar. If you loved studying English grammar in school you will probably love studying Russian grammar. If not, then by all means, do not begin learning Russian by studying Russian grammar. Fortunately it’s possible to learn plenty of Russian without burying your nose in a grammar book.
