Russian

The Russian language is used by nearly 300 million people worldwide. It is the official language not only in Russia but also in Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. It is one of the six official languages ​​of the United Nations.

It occupies a leading position in terms of popularity, mainly due to the fact that it is also used in many countries where it has no official status including the United States, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Greece, Finland and Ukraine.

In Poland it is still one of the most popular foreign languages ​​known to Poles.

If you are fed up with popular destinations and tourists asking you to take photos of them almost everywhere, why not go to St. Petersburg? According to UNESCO ranking, it is one of the most attractive tourist cities in the world.

The city prides itself on 220 museums, 80 theatres, more than 2,000 libraries and 62 cinemas. However, only 15% of the people in the world know of its existence and tourist values.

The knowledge of Russian will definitely help you in exploring this city full of cultural attractions and undiscovered spots.

Forget the stereotype of a gloomy Russian! Russians are extremely sociable and cheerful people.

Long feasts are almost a national tradition. During such events Russians constantly laugh, rise endless toasts and try to eat everything prepared by the hosts. It is not easy, at all, because there is always too much food to eat.

Remember that in Russia guests never come up empty-handed. They usually bring some flowers, cake, wine or something sweet. It is also good manners to speak Russian there.
