Why are we different from other schools?
For over 14 years we’ve been teaching Russian, we made several observations that might seem obvious but that led us to the serious changes in the type of programmes that we offer:
- students are all different
- they have their own learning aims
- they have different reasons to study Russian
- and they are interested in different aspects of the language
And in 2018 we decided to offer a new system of the language course Smart Immersion Programmes.
Advantages and Benefits of Smart Immersion Programme
- More flexible system: You can take groups courses 20, 24 or 28 lessons per week
- More personalized system: According to your individual learning aims, you can add specific immersion modules to your Standard course to make your own Smart Immersion Programme
- More combinability in the immersion modules: The convenient timetable of the immersion modules allows you to combine two language or specialization immersion modules - that would help you get more even within a very short period of stay.
How does this work?
- Step 1. Choose the Standard group course
- Step 2. Add one or two Immersion modules depending on your needs
- Step 3. Make your own Smart Immersion Programme of 24 or 28 lessons per week
