Russian for business people and academics
Russian gets acquainted with 150 million people
Language is not just an instrument for interpersonal communication. On the other hand, it is a versatile tool with which we can understand the culture and worldview of society. We can also acquire knowledge through language. As a result, learning a language makes a major contribution to our social and professional lives. For example, anyone who knows Russian has an enormous number of advantages in life.
Russian is known as the most important Slavic language and is spoken in a fairly large area. Starting from Eastern Europe to the Far East, there are more than 140 million people who speak this language. Worldwide, it is spoken by about 210 million people. The number of native speakers reaches approx. 150 million. The language therefore holds enormous potential for its speakers.
Russian language skills for business in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
We recognise a great potential in the market. Russia is a very important importer and exporter. The country provides products that Switzerland needs and vice versa. Therefore, our economy needs people who know Russian perfectly. People who speak this language fluently are a great asset to our country. Knowledge of Russian can also be of great advantage to business people.
Not to be forgotten is the fact that this language is spoken in many of Russia's neighbouring countries. Business people with knowledge of Russian can expand their influence in various countries such as Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, etc. Knowledge of Russian therefore means multiple markets in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Countless treasures for scientists
On the other hand, knowledge of Russian is an excellent asset for academics who focus on Russia. Russia offers a vast area with countless social, cultural and geographical conditions. It is a unique country for biologists, geologists, historians or sociologists.
Russia is not a country with a single genre of music. In this country there are different cuisines, different religions and customs. Anyone who knows this language has the opportunity to get to know this diversity better and that is an enormous enrichment.
