Spreading of Russian language →

The Russian language traces its origins back to ancient Russian, one of the first Slavic languages, an ancestor to contemporary Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian. Though all these languages belong to one Slavic group of languages which explains their similarity, Russian differs from the above mentioned by its phonetical, morphological and lexical peculiarities.

Language has been the common means of communication all over the world for ages. And for sure, if we know more languages, we can communicate with many more people. Our Russian language school offers the chance to study a language which has been spread over 1/6 of the world’s territory, with a population of over 250 million. The majority of this uses Russian as the main language of their everyday life....

Learn Russian on your way to success →

Russian now occupies the fourth place among world languages in modern language rating. It is considered to be popular and necessary. Knowledge of Russian is highly appreciated and an influent factor for job promotion in many countries, particularly in Eastern Europe.

The Ukrainian language →

Back in Soviet times the Ukrainian language was neglected and underestimated. It lost its official status since Ukraine was part of the great Soviet State and was subject to its policy and regulations. Thus, it was not allowed to have its own official language. In 1993, only 31 million Ukrainian residents (slightly over 59%) spoke Ukrainian, but after the country gained its independence, the number of people willing to learn and speak it at home has started to increase. And today about 67.5% of Ukrainian citizens refer to the language as to their mother tongue despite the previously pressing influence of the Soviet Union.

Why learn Russian in Kiev →

If you ask Ukrainians why one should learn Russian in Kiev, the first answer that will be on the tip of their tongues is “Why not?” Just like people learning other languages (Polish, Turkish or Mandarin Chinese) have their reasons to do so, there are people in Kiev who are willing to speak Russian fluently and flawlessly. The only difference is that being the second widespread language in Ukraine, Russian is a lot more popular than other languages.
