Cyrillic, cases and verbs of motion: what makes Russian different

Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet: 33 letters, some familiar, some false friends, learned in one or two weeks. Then comes the grammar: six cases that change the endings of nouns and adjectives, aspect pairs for most verbs, and verbs of motion that distinguish going on foot from going by transport.

It sounds like a lot, but a good tutor introduces it in the order you need it, through sentences you will actually say. Count on about 1,100 class hours for professional proficiency. Russian is also widely understood in the Baltic states and Central Asia. Wherever you live in County Donegal, an online tutor gives you the conversation practice that a textbook cannot.

Russian lessons in Rocking Stone: cost and the TORFL

A private Russian tutor in Rocking Stone usually charges €25 to €45 an hour, and university evening courses in the cities cost €200 to €350 a term. Online, native tutors charge €10 to €30 an hour, with a first lesson at a reduced price and slots in the Irish evening.

The Test of Russian as a Foreign Language (TORFL, or TRKI) certifies six levels, from elementary up to C2. The first certificate level, equivalent to B1, is required for some university programmes. Sessions are held at a few centres in Europe; your tutor can prepare you with past papers on the five sections: reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar-vocabulary.

Russian courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week, all year

The most common pace for adults: it keeps motivation up and gains about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one or two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Conversation only, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news and your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Russian courses in Rocking Stone: common questions

Is Russian harder than German for an English speaker?

Generally yes. The FSI places Russian at about 1,100 class hours against 900 for German, because of the cases, the aspects and the vocabulary, which shares fewer roots with English. The alphabet, by contrast, is a short hurdle.

How many lessons a week to make progress in Russian?

Two one-hour lessons a week, plus fifteen minutes a day of vocabulary and listening, is a good pace. One lesson a week works too, but expect slower progress on the grammar, which needs regular repetition.
