One-to-one General/Business

Russian Course in York

Whether you want Russian lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.

While a General Russian course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.


The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Russian telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. 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.


Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. Clients of our General Russian courses include people moving abroad, those entering a Russian family through marriage, those studying for a Russian exam, as well as those who are simply passionate about Russian language and culture.

Info about York


York is a small city with a real sense of history. Indeed in AD 71 Eboracum (as it was then known) was made one of two capitals of Roman Britain. The city is a real hotspot for tourists with the main attraction being the stunning York Minster, the largest Gothic Cathedral in northern Europe. The University of York is a top-rated academic institution and consequently attracts high-flying students from across Britain and overseas. Once you have visited the Cathedral; a relaxing boat trip on the River Ouse or a stroll around one of its cobbled medieval streets will confirm York's reputation as the place to be if you want to study in a town that has continuing appreciation of its heritage.

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.
