Most Russian language schools and academies offer traditional teaching, based on the memorization of vocabulary and grammar. However, teachers and psychologists believe that the best way to stimulate language learning is not to submit the learner to formalized, linear learning, but rather, to encourage imagination and learning through sensory exploration in order to be able to understand and interpret what is around us. In this way, students will be able to participate in a more immersive experience to master the essentials of Russian. 

You will enjoy the only intensive program  that is 100% specifically designed to obtain the Russian Level A2 of the CEFR.
