After years of dreaming about it, the moment had finally arrived, I was in Spain. The thrill of stepping off the plane into the warmth of the Spanish sun was both surreal and exhilarating.

Spoken by over 250 million people worldwide, Russian is one of the most influential and widely used languages on the planet. It holds official status in the United Nations, is the most spoken Slavic language and remains a key means of communication across much of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Historically, Russian was the dominant language of the Soviet Union, and today it continues to serve as a cultural and linguistic bridge in many post-Soviet states.

Have you ever wanted to learn a second language but doubted yourself before you’ve even started learning? Maybe you’ve tried a few words in Russian or dabbled in Japanese, only to feel overwhelmed by complex grammar or difficult pronunciation. Here’s some good news: if you’re looking for an easy way to become bilingual, Spanish flows right off the tongue – especially if you already know English or other European languages.
