Varsity Tutors can help you enroll in a St. Louis Russian course that can make learning Russian easier and more convenient. Many students who want to learn a new language lose interest and motivation when they cannot find a class that suits their schedule. This is especially true for adult learners or working professionals since they have a lot of other commitments that may prevent them from attending classes. A Russian course with Varsity Tutors lets students learn entirely online, so they have more options to fit a class in their busy schedule.
Russian belongs to the Slavic group of languages together with Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Slovenian, and Bulgarian. There are over 150 million native speakers of Russian and it's also widely spoken in most of Eastern Europe. With this in mind, it's not surprising that Russian is a popular foreign language choice for students in Riverview Gardens Senior High School and Gateway High School. Many college students from Saint Louis University also learn the language in order to have more options when applying for international jobs.
If you are a student looking for a convenient way to learn Russian or a professional who wants to add this language to other foreign languages you already speak, enrolling in a St. Louis Russian class with Varsity Tutors can be the answer to your language needs.
What material will a St. Louis Russian course cover?
Different levels will cover different topics about Russian. You will, of course, study the Russian alphabet, which is also called the Cyrillic alphabet. It has 33 letters composed of 10 vowels and 21 consonants. There are 2 letters that do not designate any sounds.
Russian is also a gendered language, like German, Spanish, and French. It's important to learn the genders of nouns early on in your studies because they affect the way words are formed. The three genders are masculine, feminine, and neuter, and you can often tell the gender of a noun by looking at the ending of their spelling.
Other topics you will discuss in your St. Louis Russian class include pronunciation, common phrases, grammar and sentence structure, and essential vocabulary. You will also get insights on Russian culture and literature including famous literature works of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov.
How will a St. Louis Russian course help me learn?
One of the most important features of the course is that it is offered entirely online. This means you don't need to add an extra hour or two for the commute and you can conveniently participate in class just by logging on from your computer. You also get to choose where you want to set up your study area - it can be your bedroom, kitchen, or a café. The class is conducted in a virtual classroom where you can see, hear, and interact with the instructor and other students as if you were sitting at the table.
Since you will be studying with other students, you will have many opportunities to practice Russian through conversation or dialogue practice. You will also get used to Russian pronunciation faster since you will hear your instructor repeat vocabulary or read Russian text. Learning topics within a collaborative online space can also help you think creatively, retain information longer, and deepen your understanding of a topic much more than what you might be able to learn on your own.
Of course, you might encounter certain topics in Russian that are very challenging for you and you might be able to tackle them better if you receive extra attention from your instructor. In the St. Louis Russian class, you can request one-on-one time with a Russian language instructor while you are enrolled in the regular online class. This extra support can be a very effective way for you to address difficult topics or areas in Russian - something that may not be readily available with a traditional classroom setup.
How can I get signed up?
Getting signed up for a Russian course is quick and easy. You may call Varsity Tutors today and our expert educational consultants can give you more information about what these courses cover, the available course times, and how you can proceed with the enrollment.
Studying Russian does not have to be difficult. A St. Louis Russian course with Varsity Tutors offers a convenient and affordable option for those who cannot attend courses in a traditional classroom or have a busy schedule that doesn't give them the extra hours to commute.

I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
