Description

Hello and welcome!

Total Beginner Russian: Our introductory Russian language classes are specifically designed for students with minimal or no previous background in the Russian language. Our dedicated team of engaging, professional, and native Russian speakers will guide and support you at every stage of your learning journey. You can anticipate learning practical Russian conversation skills and building vocabulary, as well as receiving a thorough introduction to the Cyrillic alphabet and its application.

About Our Classes: Our small group Russian classes are held online and meet once weekly for ninety minutes per session. Our teaching methodology combines a structured, formal approach emphasizing grammar and the foundational structure of the language with an interactive approach specifically designed to create real-world situations that encourage natural verbal communication and conversation among students while simultaneously building vocabulary. The primary emphasis and focus of our group classes remains on developing conversational ability and fluency. Upon successful completion of the Level 1 course, you can advance to our Level 2 class and continue progressing through additional levels until you reach your personal learning objectives.

We look forward to welcoming you into the ABC Languages community and supporting your Russian language learning goals.

I'm really enjoying my class with Dmitry! He's great at explaining the grammar behind Russian and helping students to work on their pronunciation. I am learning a lot in this course.

Although the teacher was nice, he frequently went off topic. I didn't feel the class was well structured; there was no outline, barely any handouts, and everyone was confused as to what unit/tense we were on.
