How to Speak Russian: Overcoming the Fear of Speaking

Russian is often cited as one of the most difficult languages for English speakers. Between the Cyrillic script, variable stress patterns, and the aspectual system of verbs, it's easy to get discouraged. But the key to success isn't more theory—it's practice.

The Power of Interaction

Language is a tool for interaction. Studies on Communicative Language Teaching highlight that students need opportunities to use the language in authentic settings to develop fluency. Passive study often leads to knowledge about the language, without the ability to use it.
