About Russian 6
In this course, you will learn to express yourself even better in Russian. We spend a lot of time on conversation. Lessons from the Russian 1-5 courses are repeated and deepened.
You learn how to expand previously acquired knowledge, vocabulary and grammar in order to communicate in more detail. You practise the basic rules of grammar by applying them in concrete assignments. In class and in small groups, you actively practise having conversations and giving or asking information in different situations. This knowledge is directly applicable in everyday life.
This course follows on Russian level 5, but can also be taken separately if you have A2 level. Not sure what your language level is? Then take our free placement test.
