One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Derby
It doesn't matter if you want to learn Russian for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.
General Russian courses will provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Russian business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.
The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Russian telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.
Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. 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 Derby
A hub of mills and production during Britain's industrial revolution, the East Midlands city of Derby is home to about 250,000 people, and is a noteworthy centre for the UK's deaf community. Sign language is widespread throughout the city, and the local deaf population is roughly three times the national average.
Derby has a relatively high population of Asian immigrants compared with much of the area - up to 15% of residents in some areas of the city originate from the subcontinent. This makes Derby a cracking place to pick up Punjabi, Urdu and other languages from the area; but there is also plenty of scope to learn any language you choose.

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.

Many thanks for your email and for the certificate I will receive after the lessons in MK.
I am enjoying the time to learning English.
Kath is well prepared with an iPad and different materials.
It is important for me to be able to talk about my products. Every day we start with some smalltalk and a run through of one of our products.
Next week I will do an presentation every day about one of our products and practice writing an email. Every day we do a unit in my textbook.
Kind regards
Marie
Ps. On Wednesday evening I was invited to Kath and her family to have dinner at their home. It was very nice and for me another opportunity to speak English
