Russian for Beginners is a complete online Russian course covering both the Cyrillic alphabet and everyday conversational Russian. You'll learn to read Cyrillic - including letters that look deceptively like Latin letters but sound completely different - then build up through greetings, numbers, family, grammar, and real-life topics like food, shopping, and directions. This course breaks down Russian's script, sounds, and grammar into clear, structured lessons with a quiz after every topic.
No prior knowledge of Russian or the Cyrillic alphabet is required - the course begins with the alphabet itself. A smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access is needed to complete lessons and quizzes. Regular practice is especially valuable while the Cyrillic alphabet becomes familiar.
This course is for complete beginners who want to learn to read and speak Russian from the ground up. It's a strong fit for travelers to Russia and other Russian-speaking countries, learners with Russian-speaking family or friends, and anyone interested in one of the world's most widely spoken Slavic languages.
By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Read the Cyrillic alphabet confidently, including its false-friend letters - Greet people and introduce yourself and others, using correct levels of formality (ты vs. вы) - Count, tell time, and talk about days, months, and dates - Describe family members and other people using correct Russian grammar - Use core Russian grammar, including noun gender and present-tense verb conjugation - Talk about food, shopping, directions, and weather in everyday situations You'll finish able to hold a full basic conversation entirely in Russian.
