One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Colchester
Whether you want Russian lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.
General and Business courses in Russian differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. 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. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.
Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. 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 Colchester
With a population of just over 100,000, Colchester lays claim to be the oldest recorded town in Britain, as mention of the place has been found in Roman documents dating back to 77AD. This gives the town an extraordinary cultural heritage with deep historical value.
Colchester also enjoys a rich and varied migrant population, boasting the highest percentage of non-British residents in the county, mainly thanks to overseas students attending Essex University. This makes it the best place to pick up a second language in Essex, with plenty of cultures represented in the diverse mix of ethnicities around the town.
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.

Meet some of our teachers
Watch interviews with a few of our teachers, and find out why the best way to learn a new language is with Language Trainers!:
After finding out that I'd been accepted into a student exchange program in Germany, I figured I'd better learn enough of the language to get by. The Language Trainers classes fit around my uni schedule, and I learned as much about the culture as I did about how to speak German. I'm now in the third week of the program, and am even relaxed enough to have organised my first date!
