The nature of the Russian language is completely different from the Chinese language, therefore the difficulties of studying the Russian language of Chinese students are particularly acute. Researchers of the Russian language point out that Chinese learners fail to master the Russian language, both in the vocational and industrial perspective, and in the social sphere of Communication. One of the main reasons for this is the existence of a certain body of difficulties encountered by a Chinese student studying the Russian language. In this article, the author will analyze the difficulties that Chinese students face when studying the Russian language at two levels: the phonetic level (phonetic difficulties) and the grammatical level (morphological and syntactic difficulties). This re-search aims to draw the attention of students and teachers to take specific features of Russian and Chinese languages into account in organizing training sessions with Chinese students and in the preparation of educational materials.
