Introduction to Russian

Course Overview

This is a great introductory course to the beautiful Russian language. You will learn basic language that is needed in everyday situations, in the workplace, or whilst travelling.

You will learn pronunciation, vocabulary and popular phrases that will come handy in a work or travel context. Along with spoken Russian, you will learn to read and write the Russian alphabet, common words and familiarise yourself with the basic grammar rules.

The class is interactive and all students will participate in conversations and communicate with each other in Russian, pretending that they are in a live situation. The class is designed to be flexible and cater for the needs and wants of every student involved. Students who already have a basic understanding of Russian are welcome to come too as the structure will allow every student to gain extra knowledge.

Completing this course will equip you to have a basic conversation with someone in Russian.
