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 / EnquiryThis set of Russian tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Russian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Russian: enough Russian to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Russian culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Russian.

Plymouth
A city in the southwest of England, Plymouth is home to around 250,000 inhabitants, and is situated at the head of one of the world's largest and most impressive natural harbours, the Plymouth Sound. The city has a great maritime history, its role as a naval dockyard making it a primary target for bombing during the Second World War; yet its naval traditions live on. Yet the city has more than boats to offer: its nightlife mainly consists of Union Street, which is lined with a huge number of bars, clubs and casinos; maintaining its reputation as the ideal place to have a wild night out.
