One-to-one General/Business

Russian Course in Sunderland

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.

A General course in Russian will grant you 'Survival Russian' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. A Business course in Russian will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Russian.


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. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.


Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. 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 Sunderland


Sunderland is a substantial city in Tyne and Wear, with around 290,000 residents in the city and surrounding area. Historically famed for its shipbuilding and glassmaking, the city's manufacturing industries have now deteriorated, mainly thanks to widespread bombing during the Second World War.

While the city as a whole is predominantly white, immigration has increased over the last decade, bringing in many families from Europe and Asia. This has increased the amount of languages spoken around the city, making it an increasingly interesting city for picking up a new language.


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.
