English and Russian are the two major languages spoken aboard the International Space Station, where space agencies from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and numerous European nations meet.

However, given the high risks, language aboard the International Space Station becomes a more challenging and critical issue. Smooth communication is more than simply the astronauts getting along on what will undoubtedly be long and uncomfortable voyages. It may also be a matter of life and death, whether safely landing a spaceship or averting an accident.

Before you start learning English, you need to test your knowledge. The tool is suitable for the English testing level. This stage should be noticed because, based on the level, you can choose educational videos and useful phrases.
