About the course
Dear friends and students of Russian! I SPEAK Russian school in Krasnodar is organizing a wonderful intensive offline course for students A2-B1 level. The course is designed to immerse into Russian language and culture, drastically improve your spoken communication skills along with expanding your active Russian vocabulary.
The course will take place in the biggest southern city of Russia – Krasnodar. Krasnodar has population over 1 million people and it is located near the Black sea (2 hours drive) and near the mountains (2,5 hours drive). It has warm and mild climate and lots of sunny days.
Everyone knows that learning a foreign language is always more efficient in the country where it is spoken. You will have classes with several professional teachers from iSPEAK Russian school who are professors at Universities (Krasnodar State Universities) and have experience teaching Russian as foreign languages for more than 10-15 years. During classes you will speak Russian and no English (only when it is needed).
The course will be during 7 days with 4 hours/ classes of learning Russian each day. Totally about 30 hours/ classes of speaking practice in classes in the morning and afternoon (there is the speaking practice during the daytime outside the class, too!). If you want to stay longer days or have additional classes or individual classes with a teacher it is also possible.
The course will be designed in a very practical way so that you learn something in the morning what and use it in the evening conversations. For example, we learn about food and restaurants and then later in the evening you go to the restaurants and each have to order for yourself or we learn about transport and you go and buy a ticket, etc (under close supervision of your tutor).
All materials will be provided (the book, handouts, and more). You will all get Russian gifts in the end of the program and certificate of attendance of the course.
