ONLINE RUSSIAN LESSONS

This is a comprehensive course for those who need or want to learn or improve their Russian language skills. Our teachers and Academic Department work together to craft a syllabus suitable to each student's Russian level, from beginner to advanced, placing an emphasis on general communication skills. Students will improve their Russian listening, speaking, writing, and reading skills, along with developing their grammar and vocabulary knowledge.

 

Complete beginners to Russian will start with survival lessons, in which they will study the basics of the language, from the characters and pronunciation to the most essential words and phrases to accomplish simple conversations and achieve everyday tasks, like making a purchase or asking for directions. The more advanced the student or group of students, the more complex and specific will be the lessons. Over time, the student will develop greater fluency and an ability to apply what they have learned to more spontaneous situations.

Not only is Russia the largest country in the world, but its language is also still widely spoken in many of the surrounding nations (former Satellite States). So, if you work in any of the 11 countries or states where it is an official language, or plan to partner or serve businesses and customers from these regions, our Online Business Russian Lessons will help you to carry out your duties.

 

Beyond learning essential and appropriate workplace vocabulary relevant to your field of expertise or industry, your trainer will teach you other important aspects of using Russian at work. This includes understanding the regional culture and how it affects the office, the dos and don'ts of meetings and greeting others, and how to deliver presentations or speak on the phone appropriately."

 

Like our Online General Russian Courses, if you are new to the language, your initial lessons will cover Survival Russian. You will learn the alphabet, how to pronounce key sounds, and the most common words and phrases. Once you have mastered these, you will be ready to learn the vocabulary and expressions most relevant to your job. Courses are available for all levels, with higher levels spending less time on learning words and grammar and more time on applying their knowledge to specific, professional scenarios via role-play exercises and the use of interactive and engaging media.

Some situations are so specialist that students would be better off with a dedicated course to help them acquire the skills they need. Perhaps you work in healthcare and would like a teacher to give you the vocabulary you need to better care for your patients? Maybe you have an imminent trip and need to prepare a presentation in Russian without the need to acquire additional language skills? From purchasing property abroad to preparing for an official exam, our Online Specific-Purpose Russian Lessons are available for anyone with a focused need. They are also highly appropriate for very advanced Russian speakers who want to develop very specific aspects of their Russian language skills.

 

While we also recommend a minimum of 10 hours of teaching time for these courses, we offer shorter courses (from 5 hours) if you need the language skills urgently
