How long does it take to achieve fluency in Russian?

Photo of Learn Russian in Seattle, WAThe time it takes to achieve fluency in the Russian language depends on the student. The amount of focused study completed outside of class is an important factor in becoming fluent. The student's commitment, level of motivation, previous experience studying other languages and freedom from the fear of making mistakes are also determining factors. Washington Academy of Languages provides opportunities for practice with native speakers too. Ask about our Conversation Partner program!
