Learn Russian Online with Experienced Instructors

I quite enjoyed the 8 weeks I had spent with American Councils learning about the Russian language and culture. I had never previously been a part of an intensive language program and as such I was quite excited and nervous to partake in this virtual-learning study abroad experience. Through this experience I was able to learn a vast amount pertaining to Russia’s language, culture, and people. I quite enjoyed learning more about the Russian language and its complexities such as verbs of motion and when to use imperfective and perfective forms of a verb. I also enjoyed learning about the beauty and complexity of Russian art and literature. One of my favorite classes was “Искусство и культура современной России” and I also enjoyed analyzing the cartoon "Бабочка". Overall, having partaken in the vigor and diversity of this program I developed new and better ways to express myself in Russian and really feel that my confidence when speaking Russian is boosted. Moreover, having been a part of this program and having learnt so much about the Russian language and culture, I have decided to also continue my studies of Russian at my university by enrolling in 4 additional courses which detailed aspects of Russian history and literature.
