Russia offers free language course at University of Zimbabwe

Russia has introduced in-person Russian language and culture lessons in Zimbabwe as part of its efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations. The free lessons are now being offered at the University of Zimbabwe, marking a significant step in the growing educational and cultural collaboration between Russia and Zimbabwe, reports Bulawayo24.

The initiative, spearheaded by Russia’s St Petersburg University (SPbU), began in 2021 with virtual lessons. However, due to increasing enthusiasm from Zimbabweans to learn the Russian language, face-to-face lessons were introduced last month.

Dr Daria Averyanova, a representative from St Petersburg University, highlighted that the face-to-face classes are a response to the overwhelming interest shown by Zimbabweans in learning the language.
