Why Learn Russian?
Russian is one of the most widely spoken Indo-European languages and is derived from the East Slavic group of languages. The official language of Russia has more than a quarter billion speakers – 150 million use it as a first language, and an additional 110 million speak Russian as their second language. Russian is also the official language in Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan and is spoken by millions more people in Ukraine, Latvia, Uzbekistan, Estonia, Turkmenistan, Moldova, and Azerbaijan. Regulated by the Russian Language Institute and the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian uses the Cyrillic script for its alphabet.
Many people need to learn Russian to fulfill educational requirements or enhance their career prospects. Others want to learn Russian to learn more about the endlessly intriguing Russian culture, converse with a relative, or travel confidently in the Russian-speaking world – which, geographically, covers a large portion of the Eastern Hemisphere.

Speak Russian with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Russian. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Russian language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
