Our Russian speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
Book now / EnquiryRussian courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Russian to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Russian, as well as survival Russian should a short stay in the country be needed.
Book now / EnquiryThese Russian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Russian by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Russian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Russian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Russian exam.
Book now / EnquiryThose wishing to learn Russian in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Russian Courses or Small Group In-Company Russian Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Russian proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Russian Courses can occur with up to 12 people.

Wakefield
A city in West Yorkshire, Wakefield has a population of around 80,000. As a centre for cloth dealing during the medieval period, the city matured as a stalwart of glass production. Nowadays it is distinctive for its prisons, the National Coal Mining Museum for England, and its relatively large proportion of council housing. It's not all doom and gloom, though - the city plays host to many pub crawls due to large amounts of pubs in certain areas of the city; as well as an annual Rhubarb Festival!
