The Russian language

Russian (русский язык) is an East Slavic language that is closely related to other languages spoken in Europe. It is written using the Cyrillic alphabet.

Russian is the native language of about 175 million people and spoken as a second language by 130 million people, so there are over 300 million Russian speakers in total. Russian is spoken mainly in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other countries of the former Soviet Union. The differences between dialects are small, and Russian speakers around the world can easily understand the different dialects.

Russian grammar and alphabet

Learning Russian grammar is an essential part of learning the language. Understanding grammar will help you on your way to becoming a more proficient user of both spoken and written Russian. 

Once you understand the basics of grammar, you will be able to form clear, coherent and understandable sentences, and communicate effortlessly and efficiently in Russian.

Using WordDive, I’ve built a comprehensive vocabulary in Swedish and learned how to use it in everyday life. The best things about WordDive are the clear course structure and the guidelines on how to study and proceed in order to achieve the goal. It’s easy to use WordDive alongside studies and work.

I’ve made massive progress with German vocabulary and grammar in a short period of time. You can learn the language in different ways: by writing, listening and with the help of the example posts. The app is very user-friendly and it’s easy to study whenever possible.

WordDive is one of the best online language courses that I have ever used. I thought I was really bad at languages, but with WordDive I have learned more than 300 study items permanently in a short time. Sometimes I study more than 2 hours per day. Even then it doesn’t feel like I’m spending a long time studying because it’s so fun and rewarding.

The efficiency is way better than it would be in school. The program tells you when you are making progress or when you are too tired and should take a break. WordDive has become a daily companion for me. I enjoy studying and becoming better. It’s also nice to notice that you can learn new things even at this age.

WordDive is very addictive, and the words stick to your mind.As a researcher of digitalization, I can say that WordDive is an excellent example of gamification, because in WordDive, the motivation comes from outside the game: improving your language skills. It’s nice to attend meetings now that I can express myself properly.
