Though many families come to us for Russian language lessons as a way of deepening their child’s connection to family heritage, there are so many wonderful reasons to learn to speak Russian!
Russia is the largest country in the world, and with 258 million speakers worldwide, Russian is the 7th most spoken language!
Melodic and beautiful to the ear, the Russian language has a rich literary history, with some of the world’s greatest books, novelists, and playwrights of all time, and the country boasts some of the top achievements in dance, music, film, visual arts, and sports as well.
Although Russian is often considered somewhat difficult for English speakers to learn initially (due to its unfamiliar looking alphabet and very different structure), knowing Russian opens up the world of slavic languages, making the others easily accessible. All the more reason to start early with Carousel!
Great for education and career opportunities, Russian is particularly useful in business, science, politics, engineering mathematics. And for the traveler, the biggest country in the world offers beautiful cities, spectacular architecture, important museums and religious sites, and so much more!
