        My two sons, aged seven and eleven, have thrived in their Russian lessons with Malvina over the past three years. She is incredibly knowledgeable and tailors each lesson to their needs. The boys adore her, and they enjoy telling her about their adventures over the week. I highly recommend Malvina...

        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How can I master Russian in Ottawa and what does it take in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study with special programs, you have four key possibilities for learning Russian interactively in Ottawa. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second spource can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private Russian tutor in Ottawa. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Ottawa and online Russian tutors.

        🎟 Is it affordable to learn Russian and how much should Russian tutors ask?

        For university and college courses you can estimate Russian course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 class hours each semester. Language centers and individual Russian tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Russian tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 20 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and student demand. Average student satisfaction for Russian lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

        📚 How much Russian do I need to know to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Russian tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

        🔥 Why is Russian so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

        One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Russian. Realistically, you can gain basic Russian fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most expressions, be understood when you talk, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Russian. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Russian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

        🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Russian?

        Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Russian will take at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Russian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Russian out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Russian classes online.

        🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Russian tutor?

        In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Russian tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

        🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

        Colleges run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
