Learning Russian can be both exciting and challenging, especially for expats and travelers who want to communicate naturally and confidently. Whether you have recently moved to Russia or plan to visit, mastering conversational Russian will open doors to richer cultural experiences, better relationships, and smoother daily life. Our online service, “Собеседник на час” (Conversation Partner by the Hour), offers you a unique chance to practice Russian with native speakers anytime, anywhere.
Many learners focus heavily on grammar and vocabulary but struggle with real-life conversations. Speaking with a native Russian speaker helps you:
