Moscow

Moscow is a large, bustling, exciting city, as you would expect from the capital city of an enormous country. There is plenty to do with a wide range of theatres, cinemas, clubs, bars, restaurants, etc. Like all big cites it is expensive. However, if you avoid the places frequented by foreign businessmen and the very rich, "new" Russians, it should be no more expensive than in UK, and at times surprisingly cheap.

Language Link

Language Link was established in Moscow in 1994. It teaches both English to Russians and Russian to foreigners. In a short time it has gained a very high reputation for the standards of its Russian language teaching. Its staff are all university level teachers, many of whom combine teaching at Language Link with teaching at prestigious higher educational institutions in Moscow

Its Russian language classes currently attract students from amongst foreign residents of Moscow, many of them businessmen. They also arrange special courses for university students from UK and USA. Language Link is based in a refurbished building with modern well equipped classrooms in central Moscow. It offers audio visual facilities, a video library and computer centre with internet access. It is a relatively small organisation and you will be well looked after by the staff of Russian teachers.

If you are a beginner, you should join a course starting at the beginning of each month, all other students can join a group any Monday they wish

You can opt for Intensive Russian, 20 hours per week, which will cover not only conversation but topics such as grammar. Alternatively there is a less intensive option of General Russian providing 9 hours per week. If you want to improve your Russian conversation, select the Conversational Russian option at 15 hours per week.

Group sizes vary depending on demand. At any time of the year Language Link will provide courses for small groups with a maximum of 3 students. When there is the demand, they will offer larger group tuition at a cheaper price with up to about 8 students in a group. All classes run subject to availability and you should check on availability before booking.
