1. Set a goal
The primary and essential part is to find out what your goal is. Ask yourself why you are doing this. Maybe your job requires the knowledge of Russian. Or maybe you would like to understand the native language of your loved ones. Furthermore, it will not be superfluous to define the micro-goals: it helps to clear the way to language learning. For example, learn 50 new words every week and watch 1 movie with subtitles.
Once you start doing it, it will be easier to continue your studying and achieve your micro-goals, which will lead you to success.
2. Studying options
Make a research of studying options and choose the proper one. You can study Russian at school or online by Skype. For example, at EDUCA there is an opportunity to learn Russian in groups or individually. If you don’t have and opportunity to attend the school of Russian in Saint Petersburg, you can learn the language with the Russian tutor online and stay wherever you are. The device with the Internet connection is all that is necessary in addition to wish to study!
3. Find inspiration
With the access to the Internet and a huge amount of content, it is not a problem to find inspiration. Movies, songs, arts, pictures, books, articles, blogs, social networks – all is that available and helpful to get inspired. Moreover, you can always start planning your language trip to Russia. That is one of the most powerful motivators to strive and meet a goal. And while you are planning your trip, check our Instagram.

4. Communicate with other people
Sometimes it is a useful experience to talk to a person who inspires others. It does not even matter if this person learns languages or not. He or she can be so passionate about their life, family, business and share their energy and knowledge how to keep yourself motivated. They can teach how to achieve a positive attitude to mistakes and failure. The process of learning Russian may be a tricky challenge, so it is a good idea to follow advice of people knowing how to handle it.
5. Keep moving
The key secret of success is to make steps constantly, even if these steps seem small. You can find 10 minutes a day to watch a video in Russian or to look through your vocabulary and revise new words. You can also download an app that lets you learn the language online and practice it there. Never give up! Just keep working on your aims. Your efforts will always pay off!
