Russian as foreign language

Business Class offers its clients lessons in Russian using the methodology “Russian as a Foreign Language.” (RKI)  Our teachers are specially trained to teach RKI to foreigners regardless of their native language.  This allows students of different nationalities to study Russian groups where thee is no common language other than Russian.  Such lessons have been proved to be highly effective as students have simply no choice but to communicate with each other in Russian.  All of our teachers have higher educations in the sphere of teaching RKI (graduate students of MGU or PhDs of MGU), have experience teaching corporate clients, and teach courses on RKI at various universities.

In addition to conducting the language lessons, our teachers will take you on periodic excursions around the city, create role plays for you in real life situations, help acquaint you with the culture and history of Moscow and Russia or, in other words, help you to adapt to your life in Russia.
