Description

In Russia there is a general lack of knowledge of the English language, so it is difficult to find a good job without a basic command of the Russian language. This, in turn, opens up good career opportunities, as few people are actually encouraged to learn Russian at an intermediate level. This Language Course provides students with the linguistic skills they need to become fluent in the most common work and social environments, also giving them the optimal skills with which they can pass the B1 Level exam. 

Continue to improve your Russian language skills, thus improving your chances of finding a job in one of Europe's most vibrant economies" 

As the largest country in the world, Russia possesses an estimated 30% of the world's natural resources. This has made the nation the leading exporter of natural gas and the second largest exporter of oil, which implies a solid economy in which to grow with careers related to the exploitation of natural resources. Another reason to study the Russian language may be its importance in the tourism industry, as it is an increasingly important source market given the high level of income it brings in. This Language Course prepares students to reach an intermediate level B1 according to the CEFR.

You will develop a solid foundation to start speaking Russian with greater fluency and proficiency in increasingly complex topics.
TECH offers you a language course with more than 400 exercises to practice and perfect your Russian.

It is proven that learning languages increases your intelligence. Learning a foreign language strengthens the brain's neural networks”

Did you know?

Communicative competence is not merely limited to the knowledge and ability to use the linguistic code, but has other broader dimensions, which place it in direct relation with other competences such as information processing and digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competence, or cultural and artistic competence. 
This implies a cultural immersion that is only possible to recreate in the online format through simulated scenarios, storytelling, videos and real situations.

Only TECH offers their students videos with the 250 specific situations required to master the CEFR B1.
