One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Bristol
If you want to be taught Russian for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.
General Russian courses will cover Survival Russian, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. A Business course in Russian will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Russian.
Our Russian courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Russian telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. In the same way, those taking a General course who may need more knowledge of a certain aspect of Russian need only request it from their teacher.
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 in Russian suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Russian is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Russian culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

Info about Bristol
With over 500,000 residents in the metropolitan area, Bristol is a large city and a real hub of employment and culture in the area. Bristol has its own dialect to a certain extent, informally known as Bristolian by those who use it. The dialect features several differences in pronunciation (over-pronouncing r sounds, for example; and adding an l sound to words ending in certain vowels), as well as a rich assortment of slang words and phrases unique to the region.
Many ethnic communities can be found throughout the city, mainly from the Middle East, Asia, and the subcontinent; making it a perfect location to pick up languages like Chinese, Arabic, Urdu and Punjabi. However, like many cities of its size, Bristol also caters to the immigrant and overseas student populations with a wide availability of English courses.

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.

I am happy to say that the first lesson went well. I greatly enjoyed it. In addition to expressing herself clearly and helpfully Elena is most pleasant to work with. She produced good comprehensive photocopied course material for us to use until the book arrives so no time was wasted. Looking forward to the rest!
