One-to-one General/Business
Russian Course in Stoke
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. 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. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Russian language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Russian exam.

Info about Stoke
With a population just under 250,000, Stoke-on-Trent is about halfway between Birmingham and Manchester, and was famed historically for the quality of its pottery and ceramics. However, the image of a sleepy town of potters is not Stoke's modern-day image - the city has a lively music scene (the birthplace of Robbie Williams, amongst others) and a vibrant clubbing circuit.
Stoke and the surrounding Potteries Urban Area have a distinct dialect, with numerous words unique to the English language, most famously using the word 'duck' as a greeting. Stoke also has a growing Asian population, making it a great city to study languages from Asia and the subcontinent.
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.

'Dictionary' with more than just words and their meaningsI've recently found the website Wordnik, which I would struggle just to call an online dictionary. It not only collects definitions from well-known dictionaries, but it provides example phrases and se... » Read More

I'd always found French really difficult at school, so when I started needing it more for work, I was a little nervous about starting classes. Nadia has been really reassuring, though, and it's all coming back so quickly. Day-to-day emails are easy now, and I'm almost there with the formal letters. Thanks, Nadia!
