One-to-one General/Business

Russian Course in Leicester

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 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.


Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business Russian course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


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 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 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.
