This is the best place to learn small-talk techniques in Russian. As you probably know, the Russians themselves are far from winning the title of small-talk virtuosos. This makes our course even more valuable as it will teach you how to get admired by Russians through the modern-world tradition of chit-chatting.

We intend this course for linguistic amateurs who are not yet aware of the scope of their linguistic talents, who would like to try learning Russian through lots of practice and reduced grammar explanations.

The course provides ideal support for busy professionals who find it difficult to make time for their Russian studies. As it happens with all our courses, your study materials will be fully accessible on the go - on your tablet or smartphone. It will take you one journey per day to stay tuned with your course.

The course embraces a significant amount of day-to-day vocabulary (around 1,000 lexical items). You will learn how to speak about families, relationships, occupations, time, appearances, attitudes, shopping, hobbies, and much more. The course will help you develop sturdy practical conversing skills without overloading your mind with unnecessary grammatical references.

However, you will be encouraged to expand your linguistic abilities every now and then, so that the hidden linguistic genius of yours doesn't get a chance to slip unnoticed.

As with all Ruenigma's courses, Russian Level A1 is fully interactive. It comprises 12 weeks of standard learning. The duration of the course can be extended by up to 13 weeks more, should you need to slow down your pace. Each week's package will contain a number of various assignments to help you activate the new knowledge. The completion of each assignment will be fully monitored and supported by our tutors.

Before embarking on the course, we will ask you to complete our 5-day Russian 101 Crash Course free of charge, so that you are properly equipped to analyse and sort the new vocabulary.

You will be offered 100% time flexibility and the opportunity to review your graded assignments multiple times - all this to respect your pace and help your grasp of Russian grow steadily.

You will also be entitled to weekly online sessions with our tutors (12 sessions per course). This is to practise Russian speaking and clear any unanswered questions with regard to the course curriculum.

Upon the completion of the course, you will be provided with your progress report and Ruenigma's Certificate of Completion.

We are always happy to advise our students on the potentials for their further development. There are quite a few paths that you could take upon the completion of the Russian Level A1 Course, which would totally depend on your goals. Should you like to hear our professional view over your progress, our tutors will share it at your final online session.
