One in four Russians plans to learn a language before summer travel
A new survey reveals that one in four Russians plans to learn a foreign language before the summer holidays. While many aim for quick progress, others prefer longer study periods or rely on existing skills.
The findings also show that half of those surveyed see no need for foreign language knowledge during their trips.
The study found that 25% of Russians intend to pick up a new language before travelling this summer. Of these, 44% hope to reach a basic level within just one to two months. Another 41% expect to spend three to four months learning.
Fewer people are prepared for longer commitments. Only 11% plan to study for around six months, while 4% will dedicate up to nine months. Meanwhile, 7% have already begun their language preparation. Support systems vary among learners. Some 16% will turn to partners or friends for help with the language. Another 7% feel no need to improve, confident in their current abilities. Despite the interest in learning, 51% of respondents believe a foreign language won’t be necessary for their summer trips. This suggests many either travel to Russian-speaking destinations or rely on translation tools instead.
The survey highlights differing approaches to language learning ahead of summer travel. While a quarter of Russians are actively preparing, most either skip language study or focus on short-term progress. The results reflect a mix of ambition, practical needs, and confidence in existing skills.
