One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Aberdeen
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
A General course in Russian will grant you 'Survival Russian' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.
It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Russian, as well as using the telephone. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.
We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Russian for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Russian exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Russian family.

Info about Aberdeen
'The Granite City' may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of language learning; though visitors to Aberdeen might at first believe many of the locals are speaking in a foreign tongue. The Doric accent (the local dialect of Lowland Scots), is still spoken in Aberdeen, and involves quite a few differences in pronunciation and vocabulary when compared with other Scottish dialects.
Scotland's third largest city attracts university students from all over the UK and beyond, from a wide range of ethnicities and backgrounds; made more appealing by the cracking nightlife, the mixture of traditional and modern venues for social gatherings, and the annual Aberdeen International Youth Festival. There is more than enough variety in Aberdeen to make it a great place to pick up a new language.

Info about Russian
As the most popular Slavic language with around 275 million speakers worldwide, Russian is the official language of Russia, and is spoken widely in countries that used to form republics of the now-dissolved USSR; for example Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Russian is an extremely challenging language to learn for those with no experience of Slavic languages. First of all there's the hurdle of the Cyrillic alphabet, of which the Russians use their own 33-letter variant. Then there's the pronunciation - almost a world apart from any English dialect. Russian is classified as a 'level III' language (the second hardest level) in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, according to the Defence Language Institute of California; but the doors that learning Russian opens to you cannot be underestimated.
