Optional pre-semester intensive Russian course

Learn Russian in the EU invites students to attend an optional pre-semester Russian course in order to brush-up their language skills before starting the academic program.

This course precedes the semester program and is provided in-person. It should help students strengthen communication skills, extend active vocabulary, and refresh grammar. The pre-semester course gives no academic credits.

All pre-semester Russian-courses include:

40-60 lessons in groups at different levels, as well as 8-12 individual sessions with native communication tutors.
Lodging in a Russian-speaking host family with breakfast and dinner.
No academic credit.

We will finalize the pre-semester course details and costs at least 6-8 weeks before the course start.
