| Learn Russian |  Many people fail to see the significance of learning Russian and for the most part it is one of those languages that get tossed sideways for more fashionable languages like French and Italian. But in fact Russian language is one of the six official and working languages of the UN (United Nations) and is the key means of international communication between nations of the Russian Federation and the CIS (Community of Independent States – former Soviet Republics). This means the language itself is a very important in global communications.
The majority of people in Russia speak Russian and if you visit there you will be unlikely to come across very much English at all. If you are going to travel there for business or pleasure you should surely make certain that you take some intensive Russian language classes previous to your going, if for no other reason that you can familiarize yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet which is the alphabet used in the Russian language.
Why learn Russian?
There are several reasons to learn to speak Russian and learn Russian language reading and writing skills. Some of these reasons include:
• When you learn Russian you will increase your value as an employee, particularly as the Russian economy continues to gain momentum in the world market; meaning that more and more companies will need employees who have taken the time to learn Russian language skills.
• Because Russian is the means by which the Community of Independent States and the Russian Federation communicate, when you learn to speak Russian you will have the communication tools to travel within these nations with more ease.
