These Russian lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Russian to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Russian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

Russian courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Russian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Russian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Russian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Russian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Russian.

Courses in Russian are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Russian Course or Small Group In-Company Russian Course).

Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Russian sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.

Croydon
A large town and major business centre in south London, Croydon originally made much from its role as a halt for stage coaches on the road from London to the fashionable holiday resort of Brighton - the arrival of railway links only aided this development. In the late 19th century the town was popular amongst the middle classes as a residential suburb for those wishing to commute into London, but nowadays is as much a town in its own right, with the Whitgift Centre an important hub of retail opportunity, as well as several cultural centres such as the Fairfield Arts and the Croydon Clocktower Arts Centres.
