9 Russian General Courses for adults in St. Petersburg

Learn Russian while studying while studying in small groups limited to a maximum of 8 students, with the possibility of the group being even smaller. You will find that participating in classes of this size is much easier than in larger settings since both the teacher and the students can hear each other easily, and have more opportunities to get to know one another.

The methodology favoured in this course tends to make use of interactive activities, to engage everyone as an active participant, giving you more total time spent speaking in Russian.

Get ready to jump into a productive routine of 20 lessons per week, in which you’ll study in a group that corresponds to your current level of Russian - determined by the placement test that the school asks you to complete upon signing up.

The following services are included in the course fee:
transfer from the airport, entry test, tuition, teaching material, course certificate, information material, tea/coffee during the breaks and free access to the internet.

Lessons based on interaction and communication in reduced group sizes make this one of the academy’s most popular and in-demand courses. There are 20 classes to enjoy every week while learning how to manage a wide range of situations while using the Russian language.

The course is structured in a way that after every 4 weeks, the same modules are repeated but with added depth and complexity, such as additional vocabulary. This school offers prices that decrease in relation to how many weeks you sign up for - meaning that a longer commitment can reduce your fees.

Beginners should be familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet.

If you have ever considered moving to Russia to speed up your Russian language learning but perhaps you weren’t sure of how to make the leap, then living and studying with your teacher in their home might be the best way to take this step with confidence. You will take a total of 15 lessons per week, and you’ll be able to consult your host family on any doubts you have about the Russian language or the local culture in St. Petersburg.

This is one of the largest cities in Europe and it will take you some time to discover everything that St. Petersburg has to offer. No matter what your interests are, your host family will be happy to show you around. One of the best ways to start exploring this city and learning about its history might be to take a tour of the wide variety of stately architecture, such as the curiously named Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, or the Grand Peterhof Palace.

While studying Russian on the home tuition programme, you have access to support from HLI’s Local Organisers. These agents work to resolve any issues that you might encounter during your stay, so you will always have the help you need.
