How to learn Russian for business?

I live in Cyprus where Russian clients are welcome. In any business - from a serious investment company to a wine boutique - business owners target Russian-speaking community. They pay more than others, they are more reliable, they are usually loyal: if they are happy with the service, they stay with you for years.

A long time ago I wrote a course “RUSSIAN IN ONE MONTH” – a special course for busy business people. But only during the lockdown I made this course available online. I am a businesswoman myself and I know what Russian words in what business situations my students may need. So, the course is made having in mind the needs of an executive who works with Russian clients.

Let me tell you how the course is structured. If you do not need it for yourself, please recommend my lessons to people who may benefit. They can have this course in online or offline format, with interactive communication or without (just getting video lessons).

THE CONTENT

There are two courses. The beginners' course “Russian in 1 Month” allows students to quickly start reading and talking in Russian. The advanced course will help to speak basic Russian with confidence, it offers mainly conversational practice. Each course consists of 30 lessons that need to be taken daily. More details are here: https://vkcyprus.com/russianlessons

These very intensive courses give fast results because of a combination of three factors: experience and passion of your teacher, well-prepared text, audio, video materials, and modern techniques of memorizing big volumes of new data. 

You may register any time to get video lessons, you'll start getting them from the nearest Monday. Those, who register for the July group, will get free materials for self-studies every day from the day of registration till the 1st of July.

Next Online Groups, daily lessons in Zoom: July, September, and November 2020. One group for absolute beginners, one group for those who speak some Russian but want to see fast progress, learn new words, have less accent.

Next Offline Groups for those who live in Cyprus (face-to-face lessons in our Limassol office): October 2020. One group for beginners, one group for those who speak some Russian but want to see fast progress, learn new words, have less accent.

One Month Course for Beginners (video lessons only): A new group starts every Monday. Pre-recorded video lessons are sent by email every day, thirty days in a row.

HOW IT IS ORGANISED?

You may join me for 1-month-intensive-course where we will have live online lessons 4 times a week and you’ll have your homework and instructions to study 7 days a week, you’ll watch Russian movies and listen to Russian songs that I chose for you. I’ll work every day, for all 30 days of our course.

The results for beginners: in one month you will speak and read basic Russian, you'll know approximately 300 keywords, recognise in speech about 500-600 words and be able to construct over 1000 sentences using this vocabulary.

The results for the advanced group: we'll increase your active vocabulary (the words you use in speech) to 700 words and your passive vocabulary (the words you recognise in speech) up to 1000 words. You'll repeat all main grammar rules, learn by heart useful phrases and sentences.

WHEN SHALL WE START?

You’ll start as soon as you send me an email to [email protected]. This way you'll be registered for a FREE trial. I’ll send you a link to the first lessons (pre-recorded video). If you like the way I teach, you'll pay for the July course and every day until the day of our first group lesson – you’ll get from me free video lessons. They’ll help you to use for your benefit the time that is left till the group lessons.

"This course is an excellent gateway to Russian led by a warm and enthusiastic teacher. We not only learned loads of great vocabulary and useful phrases but also got an insight into Russian culture and geography. Thoroughly recommended". Tim Drohan

Natalia Kardash herself as a teacher, her methodology and her personalized approach is the difference between this course and others. She is with her student every day, bright, smiling, cheery and full of enthusiasm. Perhaps the most important element is her positive attitude, always pushing forward, accepting students' mistakes without showing any frustration. Always encouraging, never criticising, helping her students get over their difficulties. Leonard Delunas
