The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Russian

These Russian lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Russian - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Russian culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Russian examination.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Russian

These Russian lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Russian to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Russian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

russian Songs

"Ya Soshla S Uma" (All the Things She Said) - t.A.T.u

You’ve probably heard this song (or at least its name) because this is one of the few Russian pieces that was a hit in the USA, and even an English version was made as a result, although it primarily shot to fame for its 2002 video featuring a controversial kiss between two girls. The chorus repeats at least 4 times, so it’s quite easy to pick up some words and phrases (like “running through my head”: А они говорят - виновата сама). Plus, you’ll also have the English version to compare both lyrics in case you have any doubts about your understanding of the song. Listen to this catchy tune here.

russian Songs

“Ой, да не Bечер” - Pelageya

Looking to learn a bit more about Russian history while fine-tuning your foreign language skills and listening to great music? This song by Pelageya might be what you need. The folk artist sings about Stepan, a Cossack who led an uprising against the royalty of Russia in the 17th century. There is a lot of history within this song, which makes it very special, while you can also learn the Russian tenses, as the poetic persona mentions the past, the present, and the future while describing the country.

“В Лесу Pодилась Елочка” - Children’s Song

Want to learn more about the fascinating Russian culture while listening to catchy songs? Then, you should not miss A Pine Tree Was Born in the Woods, a song that is always on the radio during the Russian New Year. Children love this track and learn it at school, so it will be hard to find a Russian person who’s not familiar with it. With a very slow pace and a lot of repetition, this song is perfect for beginners who want to start fine-tuning their listening comprehension and pronunciation. It’s also easy to find English translations! Listen to this catchy tune here.
