Our native-speaking qualified Russian teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you.

Russian lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Russian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Russian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Russian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Russian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Russian.
Those who would benefit the most from these Russian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Russian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Russian, as well as survival Russian should a visit to the country be necessary.

Russian Testimonials
"For my first lesson, I received the same top quality Russian language lesson that Listen and Learn promise to maintain. Having been an instructor at one time, I am in the habit of testing fellow instructors regarding their knowledge and their ability to teach. Well I am happy to inform you that my first lesson exceeded my expectations in all aspects! Not only did Maria impose the degree of professionalism that was warranted, she is very knowledgeable and she has that knack for sensing the approach a particular student should have in order for that student to learn, and more importantly, for that student to want to learn. Maria achieved the element of trust that must first be established between an instructor and their student in order for a student's mind to open itself to the learning process. Now, I only hope that I can achieve my own objectives!"
Tampa
If you find yourself on the west coast of Florida, in the heart of Hillsborough County, head on over to the place they call 'Cigar City' and you'll be soaking up the rays in Tampa. Lucky it also goes by the name of the 'Sunshine City'! Tampa is also characterized by the potential that it offers language learners, for there's opportunities abound for studying a new language or keeping in practice with a language you have previously mastered. Almost a quarter of Tampa's residents speak a first language other than English, which means that if you fancy picking up some Spanish, French, or Italian, chances are you'll be able to converse with native speakers in your everyday life. Whether it's for business, enjoyment or ancestry - there has never been a better time to begin learning another language in Tampa!
