Start Russian lessons in Dublin

Why Learning Russian is a good idea 

Many people speak Russian as their native language, with there being so many speakers of the language, having knowledge of it can come in use for job opportunities (not necessarily in Russia) and if you one day decide to travel to Russian for a holiday or to live there, knowing the language will make the process much smoother for you and less stressful. 

Knowing another language, alongside your native one helps make you much more employable even if you don’t live in the country where that language is spoken. Many companies have international customers and often need employees to be able to service those customers in varying roles.  

Knowing another language also shows that you are capable of learning new things and that you have an interest in the outside world, all good traits to be associated with.  

Learning another language may lead you to making new friends, either Russians or others who are passionate in speaking the language and learning about Russian culture, seeing places you never thought you would visit.

What you can learn by studying Russian 

So by studying Russian you don’t just learn the language itself. By studying it you will gain further understanding of the culture and Russian country. This will come from the articles, newspapers, audio clips and conversations that you will experience during your learning and from it you will learn more about the country and perhaps gain a greater appreciation of it. Who knows you may even gain new hobbies or areas of interest from this learning.  

A fun part of learning languages is gaining a much better understanding of the origin country. By learning more of the culture it may help you to become more interested in visiting or even living there and you will learn many interesting facets of the country that you would not have discovered otherwise. 

By learning a foreign language, you will get closer to understanding the speech, the people and country. 

Is Russian difficult to learn? 

Some people can be put off from learning a new language or Russian in this case, because they may believe that it is very difficult to learn.  

For Russian it is necessary to learn the alphabet as it is derived from Cyrillic script which is very different from the Roman alphabet that languages such as English, French and German use. Some new learners can be put off by this but despite how different the Russian alphabet looks, it actually takes a very short time to learn with only 33 letters and often only takes two days to learn!  

A difficulty that some new learners may face when learning Russian is proper pronunciation of words. Russian is infamous for having complicated words and rules for pronunciation but this is often the way when learning foreign languages. A good way to vastly improve your pronunciation is by imitation. Hearing others speak and developing an ear for what sounds like what, something that our tutors will be able to help with a lot.  

Learning anything new isn’t easy but with the right attitude and work anyone can start learning Russian and being able to speak and understand it.
