All of this from the knowledge and expertise of a native university professor.

Its main objective is to help you acquire the necessary oral skills to be able to certify your Russian level and to help you achieve a fundamental level of oral expression and comprehension in the language.

Put yourself in the hands of our university professors. They will prepare you with different activities of expression and interaction to pass the oral part of the Russian A1 certificate”

Most Russian language schools and academies offer traditional teaching, based on the repetition of simple linguistic structures with no connection to properly structured content or concrete skills. However, teachers and psychologists believe that the best way to stimulate language learning is not to subject the learner to formalized, linear learning - for example, rote learning - but rather, to encourage imagination and learning through sensory exploration in order to be able to understand and interpret what is around us.

This allows the brain to work and learn a second language in the most natural way possible, in the same way that we learned our mother tongue.

This is the most complete preparation program for developing communication skills in order to pass the CEFR A1 level test.

You will improve your communicative skills in order to obtain the CEFRL A1 level in Russian in a quick, intensive and efficient way"

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

• Define the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations and recognize the most common forms of social relationships
• Use the linguistic resources necessary to get by in basic communication situations

Specific Objectives

Oral Comprehension

• Understand speech that is very slow, carefully articulated and with enough pauses to assimilate the meaning
• Understand instructions that are explained slowly and carefully, and be able to follow directions if they are simple and brief

In TECH's preparation course for the official CEFR A1 level test you will find more than 100 activities focused on developing your oral skills.

Oral expression

• Engage in conversations in a straightforward manner, but communication is totally dependent on slower-paced repetitions, rephrasing and rectifications
• Ask and answer simple questions, make simple statements, and respond to statements made to them in areas of immediate need or on very everyday topics
• Introduce oneself and use basic greetings and farewell expressions
• Ask how people are doing and express their reactions to the news
• Understand everyday expressions aimed at satisfying simple concrete needs provided that the speaker collaborates by addressing them in clear, slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
• Understand questions and instructions if spoken slowly and carefully, and understand short, simple directions on how to get to a place 
• Ask someone for something and vice versa 
• Have a good command of numbers, quantities, prices and schedules
• Make time indications in sentences such as, for example, "next week, last Friday, in November, at three o'clock"
• Respond in an interview to simple and direct questions about personal data, if spoken very slowly and clearly, without idioms or set phrases

Sociocultural and Sociolinguistic Competence

• Become familiar with the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations, as well as with those related to their own field, which will result in the basic adaptation of their behavior to these situations and in the understanding or adequate use of the lexicon and functional exponents
• Recognize and use the most common forms of social relations and treatment, within a standard register. In common social situations, recognize and use the usual forms of address used to greet, say goodbye, address someone, give thanks, apologize, ask permission, take an interest in people and respond to an offer
• Understand the behaviors and values that are different from one's own and that underlie the most evident and everyday socio-cultural aspects

Linguistic Competence 

• Manage a basic repertoire of vocabulary and expressions related to the most common situations and functions foreseen in the syllabus
• Develop a very limited control of linguistic resources with systematic errors that usually occur at this level

In order to consolidate all these skills, you will study more than 40 sessions designed by expert teachers and based 100% on the CEFR"
