One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Southampton
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 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 will focus on business protocol in Russian, and later on reading and writing will become more important.
It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Russian, as well as using the telephone. 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.
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 Southampton
The biggest city on the south coast, Southampton and its surrounding area has around 250,000 inhabitants and a great deal of cultural and ethnic diversity can be found. Almost 1 in 10 people in the city are Polish, making it a great place to pick up a Slavic tongue; and with sizeable Chinese, Irish and Asian communities as well as its interest as a tourist destination for Europeans, it's a great place to pick up almost any language. Most of this mass immigration has arrived in the last few decades, turning Southampton into one of the most densely-populated cities in the UK.
So often linked with maritime history, Southampton's glowing reputation as an illustrious port town stems back to the early 20th century when it handled most of the passenger traffic for the UK.

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.
