5 Ways To Improve Your Russian Speaking Skills

Speaking is usually the #1 weakness for all Russian learners. This is a common issue among language learners everywhere. The reason for this is obvious: When language learners first start learning a language, they usually start with reading. They read online articles, books, information on apps and so on.
