Our courses
- A friendly introduction to Russian for children starting completely from scratch.
Children learn their first words and phrases through games, pictures, stories and communication. We gradually build listening and speaking skills before introducing reading and writing.
No previous knowledge of Russian is required. - For children who already have some exposure to Russian but need help developing active communication.
We focus on practical vocabulary, speaking and listening, then gradually develop reading and writing - For children who use Russian at home or with family while growing up in another language environment.
We help expand vocabulary, develop confident speaking and strengthen reading and writing skills so that Russian continues to grow alongside the child’s other language.
