At first, you may have decided to go about learning the Russian language on your own. It might have worked for the most diligent and determined of you. Perhaps your Russian vocabulary consists of a couple of hundred words and you have even mastered a dozen grammatical rules thanks to your software Russian language lessons. But you still don’t feel confident enough to talk to your Russian colleagues at work or chat casually with your Russian friends. It could possibly mean that you are ready to have a breakthrough with your Russian. In that case, our Russian school has something to offer.

You are much better off spending those two months as one of our students. Our experience has proven that you learn much faster in the language environment, in a small group or individually, guided by the experienced teachers who can help you to apply dull grammar rules naturally in useful language structures. That might sound too good to be true, but quite soon you will be able to realize that you have actually started speaking Russian and your motivation and confidence would be growing gradually day by day.

Our highly professional teaching guidance, friendly and caring atmosphere will simply save your time and money.We have different course packages to offer: small groups throughout the day, in the evenings and even over the weekends. Individual or paired tutoring can be arranged in our school or at your office if mutually agreed.

 

The Russian Lab team is available at any time to help you choosing the course package that would suit all your needs. We’d love to help you make the right choice. You will find out that Russian is just your cup of tea. Feel free to contact us on the phone or to stop by and visit our office which is located in the very heart of the city in one of those small, lovely and quiet Moscow streets.
