Russian can be a very complex language. However, many parents are very interested in helping their children learn the Russian language. Why? First of all, the Russian culture is very interesting and rich, and those who can speak the language will be able to appreciate it even more. Also, learning more than one way to communicate helps develop an child’s cognitive abilities, strengthens their focus, and builds more neurological pathways within the brain. But more than anything, Russian is a very beautiful, unique language!
Learning the Alphabet

One great book to get started is a book on how to read the Russian alphabet. These books feature pictures of easily recognizable subject such as animals, which can help a child understand each letter.
