Why is Russian important?
Russia is one of the largest countries in the world and plays a dominant role in Eastern Europe from both an economic and cultural perspective, which is why the Russian language is so important. For these and many other reasons, Russian is one of the most important languages in the world. At Berlitz, we make learning Russian easier with proven language-learning techniques.
The foundation of Berlitz Russian courses is the Berlitz Method, which focuses on language learning through immersion. At Berlitz, you will start speaking the foreign language right from the very beginning of your Russian studies. Our certified teachers, who are native speakers, are experts in Russian and in immersion-based teaching techniques, so they can effectively guide you toward fast and successful learning of Russian.
Understanding Russian as a Whole
Berlitz Russian lessons also include cultural foundations that help you better understand how the language is used. While learning the basics of Russian is important, it is just as important to understand how the language is actually applied in real-life situations. This includes non-verbal communication signals, hand gestures, word choice, and much more.
Cultural training for the Russian language is a special feature of Berlitz Russian courses. After learning Russian at Berlitz, you will be able to communicate confidently with native speakers in any setting.
Online Russian courses
Learning Russian online has never been this easy. You will have the option to learn anywhere, just as long as you have a strong internet connection. This flexibility means you can work your Russian lessons into your normal life. That means you can take your Russian classes at work, at home, or on the go. Whatever works best for you is possible with the online Russian classes with Berlitz.
Best of all, the Berlitz online Russian courses feature the same proven language learning techniques as our in-person classes. You will still learn with a live, Berlitz-certified instructor and you will still get the immersive language training. The only difference is rather than having to drive into a language center, you will meet in a digital environment that allows for the same level of communication and interaction.

What our learners say
I enrolled in a Russian course at Berlitz. It's my first experience with the Berlitz method and I'm really impressed because the learning is based on a conversation with a native-fluent speaker, from the first lesson you listen and speak only Russian. You learn the language naturally, just like we learned our mother tongue as children. The teacher uses a lot of fun tools, from picture books to didactic games. No grammar and no long lectures. I then reinforce the material at home with the help of a Berlitz textbook. It really works. I have been speaking the target language since the very first class.
