Some children study Russian but feel too shy to speak it. Others know grammar rules but still make basic mistakes when talking.
So how do you help your child actually speak Russian — fluently and confidently?
Why Speaking Skills Matter
Most Russian language programs focus on grammar, reading, and writing. These are important — but the main purpose of learning a language is communication. And that means speaking.
If your child doesn’t practice speaking regularly, they may understand the language but still struggle to express themselves.
Especially when living outside a Russian-speaking environment, it’s easy to miss out on everyday conversation practice.
That’s why we recommend joining a Russian Conversation Club — and here’s how it can help.
How We Teach Speaking
Here’s what we use in our Conversation Club:
- Tongue twisters (to improve pronunciation)
- Rhymes (for fluency)
- Rhythmic chants
- Short poems and simple skits (to make speaking fun)
- Casual, everyday conversation
- Listening to native Russian speech
Teachers speak with children as equals, and that builds trust. Kids feel relaxed — and that’s the best way to unlock confident, fluent speech.
At the same time, there are no grammar lessons or memorization of rules, which children dislike so much. Only listening.
You can learn more about how we develop children's speech by ADHD in children.
What Results Can You Expect?
The more we listen, the better we speak. And the more we speak, the better we understand. That’s the simple rule we follow — and it works.
Children in our club:
And yes — even kids who barely spoke Russian before start using it naturally.
