One-to-one General/Business

Russian Course in Solihull

It's no problem if you need to take Russian lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.

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. 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.


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 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 are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Russian for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Russian national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

Info about Solihull


large town burgeoning on 100,000 people in the West Midlands, Solihull is one of the most affluent settlements in the area - not bad for an area named after a muddy (or 'soily') hill. Just down the road from Birmingham, the town has historically had very little in the way of cultural diversity, but recently has experienced an influx of people from the Caribbean and Indian subcontinent.

Solihull has often sat on the sidelines of history - while nearby Birmingham was a major centre during the Industrial Revolution, Solihull stayed a small market town. During the Second World War Solihull escaped relatively unscathed, while the neighbouring cities of Coventry and Birmingham suffered regular bombings. To this day it remains a relatively peaceful and oddly remote settlement; a perfect place to study.


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.
