This is a 12 hours course for complete beginners who have no prior knowledge of the language. We are going to study greetings and polite words, Russian alphabet, directions and places in the city, Russian names and numbers, family members and professions. Though it’s mostly conversational course we have some basic grammar to cover (gender of nouns, personal and possessive pronouns), which is extremely important to know if you are serious about learning the language and joining our elementary course.

We have tried to make learning as easy as possible via original materials, sound recordings, vocabulary list with English translations and flash cards which you can find attached in the end of the course materials.

ELEMENTARY

80 hours

This course is designed for those who can read Russian and know some basic phrases. After completing this course you will be able to cope with some simple practical situations like introductions, ordering food in a restaurant, buying things, making appointments. We are going to spend a lot of time studying “travelling”, so you could ask directions, buy tickets and chat with Russians while travelling in Russian-speaking countries. You should be familiar with past, present, future tenses of imperfective verbs and all cases for nouns. By the end of the course we don't use English as intermediate language.

We prepare so many fun activities, so you won't want to stop learning =)

INTERMEDIATE

80 hours

This course is for the benefit of those students who, already have significant practical knowledge of the Russian language, can correctly form sentences, correctly use verb aspects and tenses, and have a substantial vocabulary. That’s exactly why this given stage is set aside for the active use and improvement of all aspects of the language speaking, reading, listening, and writing. The themes used in these lessons are inherent in daily life: “House”, “Art”, “Travelling”, “Appearance”, etc., and give students the freedom to organize, deepen, and expand their previously attained knowledge of the Russian Language. During this stage, more complex grammar is introduced, such constructions include: verbs of motion with prefixes, prepositions & cases, conditionals, etc.  At the end of this course students can freely carry out dialogs, and express their opinions on given themes.
