Why people are learning Russian right now
The Russian language doesn’t have the best reputation at the moment. After all, it’s the language of a country that’s in the international spotlight for the wrong reasons. But Russian is still a global language. It’s spoken in dozens of countries, from the Baltic states to Central Asia. Millions of people use it every day—for work, education, or just on the street.
At Regina Coeli, we still see a steady interest in learning Russian. Our students need it for their work or to help people from Ukraine. And our language trainers? They are proud of their native language—of its richness, its famous writers, music, art, and vibrant culture.
One language, many countries
Russian is the lingua franca across much of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. In countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia, you can get by just fine in Russian. Many people still speak it in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania too. That makes things simple: if you speak Russian, you can communicate across an entire region.
Building bridges through language
Our students come from many different sectors. Some work in energy or logistics. Others are in international cooperation or science. What do they have in common? They want to do their jobs better by learning the language. Usually so they can speak directly with partners or colleagues. Even speaking just a little Russian helps build relationships.
Russian quite literally opens doors—not only to people, but also to information, networks, and new insights.
Language is also culture
If you learn Russian, you naturally explore a rich cultural world. The language is linked to world-class literature, iconic composers, artists, and thinkers. That makes learning it not only useful, but also deeply inspiring.
Our language trainers at Regina Coeli are proud to share this with you. They come from all over the Russian-speaking world, each with their own background and experience. You’ll learn the right words and phrases, but also how to truly connect with people.
