If you're looking for a language that offers access to a broader variety of people, cultures, and countries, then Russian might be just what you're looking for. Russian is spoken by over a hundred million people in Russia, and is spoken by many people across much of the former Soviet Union, from the country of Georgia to Kazakhstan.

Russian continues to be one of the most in-demand languages among employers in both the public and private sectors due to its international relevance and unique versatility. Russian language study is a foray into careers such as speech pathology, comparative literature, and international trade, and it has the potential to open doors to regions of the world you may never have considered before.
