How to learn Russian

A four-week start you can finish. Then a live teacher, not another year inside an app.

Week 1 — letters

Learn the alphabet. Read shop signs and names. Fifteen minutes a day is enough.

Week 2 — words you already almost know

Park, bank, sport, student. Then a short list of real first words: привет, спасибо, я, не, да.

Week 3 — sound

Listen and repeat. Apps help here. They do not correct your speech in a conversation.

Week 4 — one live lesson

Book a trial with an MGU teacher. If you can already say a few sentences, join a group. If not, start one-to-one or the beginners group from 28 September 2026.
