Essential Russian Vocabulary for Online Learning

Essential Russian Vocabulary for Online Learning
21 May 2021

Over the course of the past year, many students have conducted (at least some of) their studies online. Whilst distanced learning  has its advantages, those of us learning Russian have not only had to get to grips with this new normal, but have also had to acquire a host of new vocabulary in order to navigate the online classroom. 

Having studied Russian online for the past 6 months- the 2 most recent with Liden and Denz – below I have compiled an assortment of useful Russian vocabulary for online learning.
