Russian study UMD - Russian language learner
Thank you for taking interest in a study that we are conducting here, at the University of Maryland. If you are visiting this page, then you are a native speaker of English and you are either currently learning Russian or have already achieved at least an intermediate proficiency in the Russian language.
We invite you to participate in this preliminary survey and screening questions in order to determine whether your Russian proficiency matches what we are looking for in our future participants and that you would suit the requirements of the study in terms of being able to participate in the experiment online (you will find several questions about the technical aspect of it also).
This survey should take you about 15-20 minutes to complete.
You should expect to hear back from us in the next day or two.
Thank you again for your interest!
