Today we will talk about a typical Russian school. “\u0428\u043a\u043e\u0301<\/span>\u043b\u0430<\/strong>” (noun, feminine) sounds a bit similar to the English \u201cschool\u201d.<\/p>\n

Both terms are derived from the Greek “\u03c3\u03c7\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae” (schol\u0113). But the word came to the Russian language through the Polish “szko\u0142a” (schola).<\/p>\n
