Ranking of the best online schools in Russian for 2022

Russian is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world. It would seem that every Russian is obliged to know it ideally, because it is our native language, but for this you need to invest a lot in learning. Grammar, spelling, orthoepy, punctuation, phonetics, vocabulary... How much you need to know to master the Russian language! Proper use of the language is the key to human success.

Without knowledge of the language, it is almost impossible to exist in our time, so it is important to strive to know it perfectly.

We start learning Russian from birth, as it surrounds us everywhere. Serious study of it begins at school. It is often difficult for students to absorb all the information in the lessons, and one missed topic can lead to further failure to master the material.This leads to the fact that the child begins to need the help of tutors and additional classes. In addition, 9th and 11th grade graduates take a mandatory Russian language exam, which requires special preparation.

Many adults also want to improve their level of knowledge, fill in old gaps. As the Russian language teacher Alexander Dolgikh says: "It's fashionable to be literate!" It is impossible to argue with this, so the older generation should at least refresh their knowledge.
For foreigners, there are also many services for learning the Russian language. Many online platforms provide courses for citizens of other countries.
