Book now / EnquiryThese Russian courses are intended for people who really need to learn Russian to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone Russian and e-mail Russian skills for communications as well as Survival Russian required for short visits to a country.
Book now / EnquiryThese Russian courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Russian - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Russian culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Russian examination.

Milton Keynes
A large town in northern Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes has a population of around 185,000. One of the UK's "new cities", its site was deliberately chosen to be equidistant from London, Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge, with the plan that it would become a major regional centre in its own right. The city's careful planning is made evident by the organisation of the city's various districts: the city centre's Shopping District is 1 mile long - the longest in Europe. The Theatre District features many bars, clubs, restaurants and the famous Milton Keynes Theatre. The Entertainment District features cinemas, restaurants, clubs, shops, and a real snow ski slope.
